I daily my GS. When i first bought my GS I had a BMW 330CI I used to use as a beater because I was afraid of driving the GS(because of potholes and bad roads) and parking it anywhere(because of door dings) and because it was my most expensive car purchase, but as time went on I decided to sell the 330CI and just enjoy the GS. Now I'm more happy than ever driving it everywhere and although I still try to be as careful as possible with it, I have realized that lifes too short to worry about a car. There is only so much you can control and if you have to worry about driving the GS everywhere then it may of been a better idea to just purchase a different less expensive car altogether.

That's my 2 cents.

 

Well to address your original statement that the LFA is not valuable, the original MSRP was $375K and right now used ones are listed for about $100K more than that for a 7 year old car I would definitely say the appreciation in value makes it "valuable."

 

Daily my GSh. No reason not to. These cars are designed to be driven and their engines are designed for high mileage with low maintenance.

My friend doesn't daily his LFA, but definitely puts more mileage on it rather than the typical owner. Has done many long distance trips in it. He also owns a NSX Zanardi Edition, has put plenty of miles on that, and doesn't baby any car (he tracks his cars).

For those that are visual people, I had posted this a while back in the LFA subforum: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lfa...lfa-163-a.html

More recent numbers: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lfa...lfas-left.html

The LFA (even more so the Nurburgring edition) has a chance to appreciate in value. As it becomes harder to own one, the legacy of the LFA will remain and there will surely be people wanting to own a piece of history. I don't see Lexus coming up with another mass produced super car anytime soon. It may not happen overnight, but try attaining a LFA twenty years from now and see how easy it will be to acquire a piece of Lexus history.

Similar to limited production, high performance cars that were game changers like the Supra, RX-7, S2000, etc.. the demand will always be there.

All the best friends,

I get it, the hope the LFA goes up in value. It's a tough climb for the Japanese automakers based on historical data.

 

Heck yeah! Why would anyone not daily a GS unless it's turned into some kind of race car or something? This car was built to be driven daily. Reliable and comfortable. Exceptions would be having multiple cars. I do but other car is weekend and fun. GS isn't a collector's item or some special edition whip we got here. Just a great, reliable ride. I will beat this sucker into the ground.

 

I don’t daily my gs but it’s not because I don’t wanna drivebit but I have a company car and when I get home I’m tired most of the time so I only drive it Friday nights to Sunday nights. Wish I could drive it more. Planning on taking it to the track next year.

 

I switch back and forth with my Ls460. The Gs350 gets out 1/2 the week. Share the love!

 

I don't own a GS but I have a decently modded IS350 and I don't daily it. It's all on where you live and what your uses are for it. I track mine and it's a little rough in the city as the roads aren't too pleasant and I park it for the winter. A GS in my opinion is more of a daily as it's a full size sedan.

Cheers.

 

Everyday, every where. Why pay that much for a car and just watch it sit and depreciate. Enjoy it; you could be dead tomorrow. And anyway, it's not *that* special. It's not like it's a vintage Buggati or anything like that.

 

 

Do u daily ur GS too?

 

Of course I daily my GS it’s not a super car that will decrease in value when the mileage goes up. It’s a well built car made by Lexus/Toyota that’s dependable for daily use. Now if it’s a Ferrari then that’s going to be a different answer from me. 😂✌🏼

 

The GS certainly isn't a garage queen - that's for sure. The GS is the vehicle I've chosen to carry my golf equipment (bag, clubs, shoes, *****, umbrella, towels, etc.), so I drive it whenever I play golf or practice.

 

One of my friends wife has a 2018 I Believe & she LOVES IT! It's Definitely her Daily Driver, I think he told me she already has like 18k miles on it this year! They both said it's a Very Dependable vehicle

 

I keep mine hermetically sealed in a plastic bubble and never drive it! I never allow anyone within 10 feet of the car. I bought it to look at and not drive it.
