GS repairs cost?! help pls
#16
Lol mine has like 43K on it now (2015) and no signs at all of anything screwy going on. All I've had to replace is consumables like tires, oil, etc. I am sure eventually some repairs (or advanced maintenance) will be needed but I doubt it will be debilitating. I bought the car because it's one of the most reliable in class.

If somebody is just getting a new one and keeping it for 3 years then it really doesn't matter.

43k is nothing, and 3 years old is nothing. Wait until they're 10+ years old and have 100k+ miles. There will be repairs as there will be on any cars, and at that point the ES will be cheaper to maintain and repair. Its not going to be debilitating, but it will be more which was the question. The LS will be even more on top of the GS.

True enough, but outside of things like air ride suspension and the like, Most of the costliest things can be dealt with on these cars. These aren't MBs with 2000 dollar (ea) shock absorbers. I just don't see how a GS owner that keeps a car past 100K is really going to balk at throwing a little money at it. This isn't a car that people buy focusing on lowest possible TCO.
Also, outside of air ride issues (which can be circumvented somewhat) how is the LS that much more costly? That's kinda funny considering there are a crapload of high mileage LS430s out there.
