I'm watching this in the UK; sitting in my 2006 Lexus GS300 SE-L. Fabulous car in every way but, with respect, you forgot to mention a few key points that apply to these cars. Namely; the handling, which is excellent, the speed, which is pretty awesome, the comfort, which is unequalled in my opinion; and the amazing silence in which everything happens! Not to worry though - I've done it all for you...haha
I've owned my '06 GS300 for 12 years now. 125Kmiles. An awesome car in every respect. Great handling, comfortable, reliable, inexpensive to maintain, 31mpg on the road...... I hope to own this car for many more years. Just replaced the old radio worth a 12.8" Tesla style touch screen that fit perfectly in the factory dash cut out. It operates accessories , rear view camera, bluetooth, wireless, etc. Even does videos!! Happy as a clam..... I have the original window sticker and the car was $49,000 MSRP. I paid $18,000 used and it was in near perfect condition. Tires, brakes, oil & filter, over the years. Just put spark plugs in it and the old ones look like they are wearing well as are are all components.
@@johnphom1136 I used a Phoenix radio that was recommended by a stereo sop owner. It has good quality and has been working well. The come with NO manual or instructions. Phone support is good if you can get through.
You forgot if you hold your unlock button on your key fob down do not lift up all your windows in your Lexus come down before you decide to get in your car how many of y'all knew that🙃
Bought my cousins 06 Gs300 for $2100 AUD, little bit of hail damage and driver seat leather cover is trashed. Have the P0175 code coming up (bank 2 running too rich) and am slowly addressing that with the cheapest fixes first. Drives really well, smooth and comfy.... quite the bargain still.
I had a 2001 gs430 with 474,000km that I bought from a scrap yard for $500. Put about $1000 into it an drove it for 2 years (100,000km) with just brake pads and oil changes. Car was fast, luxurious, comfortable, and cheap. Looking to get another but also noticing these are bargains as well. Its a tough choice, lexus offers a lot of bargains for 10k. A 2009 ls460 is also a good 10k car. 2011 ls600h (for a tad bit more money) is also a gem.
Got a sweetie for sale - 165k km, wonderful condition, all working, no investment. Green and beige. I’m thinking $10k. Located in Europe. Is it realistic?
Got mine sold to me with bad catalytic converters which run about 2k in replacement oem parts but other then that she’s the best decision I’ve ever made
165k on my 2006 GS 300 awd! Just replaced my Catalytic converter and front end control arm, sway bars, drive axe, shicks/strutsl and a Wheel alignment! Ivehad my car 10 years and purchased it with 68k! Ijust rebuilt my Lexus!
We got a 2009 gs 350 AWD white on black. Single owner, 1,50 K kms, mint condition (LUCKILY). So let me put it like this - IT IS SHEER PLEASURE TO DRIVE THE LEXUS GS!
I own a 300gs it is 1999. Still looks good, nearly 200,000 miles. Most reliable car ever. I can afford a new luxury car Mercedes-Benz, B.M.W. I don't wish to buy another till it falls apart. Looking at reliability on newer cars do not come close to my 300gs. A mechanic recently asked I have a strange registration (in U.K. registration has got year car was registered) mechanic said no way that car is 24 years old 😊. I also own a Bentley and a Jaguar V8 the Lexus is still my favourite and drive everyday.
Timeless design for sedan in 2006. I think it will never be outdated just like Ford mustang 1968, timeless design. Whoever designed this car, needs to be praised by the lord.
These cars are amazing! I have the same GS model, but the 430 (v-8) super fun to drive, and the handling is great. It still drives like a brand new car. I just recently leased a 2024 Buick Envision for commuting, and my 2006 Lexus GS hands down drives and handles better... the only thing the 2024 Envision has it beat on is gas mileage and, of course, the infotainment display. Lexus (Toyota) is a great product that will last years!
Looking for one as a first car and I really love the look of the 2006 GS/IS models, only thing I wish they had was Bluetooth audio for playing podcasts or music but I guess that could be fixed with aftermarket CarPlay
i bought 2006 Lexus GS300 2 years ago has only 100k miles car in&out looks just like brand new. i paid $13,000 for it it's AWD 3.0 i don't feel much horsepower and torque of this car. i have to add motor oil one qt every month, i don't really like this car. i want to sell it but i can't get much out of it.
I just got one for 500 bucks don't get me wrong it's got its issues but I work on cars for a living so but one thing I will say is the parts for those are pretty expensive especially to all wheel drive one which is the one I own just two lower control arms is 300 bucks and I work at a car shop and even our price is up there they didn't make a lot of them in a huge numbers like an accord or a Camry but what I will say is if you want luxury you got to pay that luxury tax and I'm willing to
l didn't know this and l would have not thought about it. l just thought they were model style numbers or something of that sort . thanks again for the info. they say ' "One learns something new everyday" 😎
Make sure you only fill up premium at shell or Chevron. Also only Pennzoil platinum. As that's the only oil that's made from natural gas it's the most slick and burns cleaner which means less carbon.
