    Written by: bdkinnh on May 7, 2007 7:01:33 AM

    I have the same car, and pretty much the same experience. Out of frustration I stuck a sock between the dash and windshield on the right hand side, and 90% of my dash noise went away. I've been driving this way for 5K miles or so, and some of the squeaks have come back, but many have not. Whenever I bring it in for service I tell them to not touch ... Read More

Lexus GS Prices Paid and Buying Experiences

    I bought my 2006 GS 430 December 06 for $51,000 fully loaded. My experience has been horrible, the car was promised to e safe but the USA today and consumer reports both state that this GS model brings down the Lexus overall ranking as top safety car due to body integrity and other sub-standard features. I wanted to upgrade to one of the safer models and Lexus gave me the cold ... Read More

Lexus GS 350 / GS 460 Lease Questions

  • Re: Lease Numbers [cwa318]

    Written by: Car_man on Dec 10, 2006 7:07:47 AM

    Hi cwa318. this car's lease program varies depending upon how long you lease it for and its mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Lexus is no longer providing lease money factor support on 2006 models, but it does have $2,000 closeout dealer cash on the 2006 GS 430 ... Read More

    "The GS and M still get hammered by the 5 and E though." Infiniti car sales in the U.S. were down 12.4% through Sept, compared to first nine months of 2005. The only model with sales higher in 2006 is the M. However, third quarter (July+August+September) 2006 sales of the M ( 2,293+ 2120+1933=6346) were down 22% from third quarter 2005 ( 2,755+2623+2351=7729).

    Written by: sportcarfan76 on Oct 4, 2006 7:11:15 AM

    Reading through these messages I realized the 2006 GS 300/430 pricing is now a mute issue because it's been heavily impacted by the new 2007 GS 350. Why? You buy this luxury car for performance, quality and residual value. Well Lexus, in a complete brain cramp, released the new GS350, with 22% more HP, for the same price as the old GS300. Problem is it beats the GS 300 and actually ... Read More

    Hi random987. Lexus is currently providing a decent level of lease support on the 2006 GS 430. If you were to lease one through Lexus Financial Services right now for 48 months or less, its buy rate lease money factor should be .00178. this is equivalent to an interest rate of just under 4.3%.

This will first be seen in April on the GS 450h. The 300 and 430 will then get the antenna in the fall of 2006 as 2007 models, although at ... Read More

    Lexus should have brought both the GS 350 and GS 460 out now. All GS 300 competitors have more poweful engines like the M35 and E350 which just came out. Even the Avalon has a 280 hp 350 in it.

    Some comments about your post: 1. It has never been confirmed by Lexus that the LF-X will become reality. That is pure speculation at this point. 2. The LF-S was the concept for the production 2006 GS, not the IS. Of course, since Lexus will have new styling cues some of what you see on the LF-S will most likely make it onto the new IS sedan. 3. Not all Lexus ... Read More
