Could not buy a better used car for the $$$ if you are looking for a V8 and 300HP. Smooth as glass, whisper quiet, AMAZING build quality (especially after coming from a Volvo.) This car feels like it could go 300K miles without a hiccup!

Originally I was concerned about spending $20k on a 6 year old car that was a first year model. Now I can say that this is a flawless bulletproof vault that screams. No problems in 13k miles so far. No rattles at all. Unreal what an improvement over my Volvo..

I was really afraid of spending so much money on a used car that is seven years old but let me tell you something, this was the best purchase ever! this car is extremely fast and the pick up is crazy! Everyone thinks that this car is a year old and when I tell them it is seven years old they gasp in awe! Thank you lexus for such a fine piece of machinery!

Had to have one

My friend bought a GS400 brand new it was the best car on the street, I told him I wish I could own one, but at $52k new it was out of my range. I just bought a used GS400 '98 with 88k miles. This was a corporation car and moslty HW miles. The price was right for 18k this was the car of choice, I looked at M3s, A4s, 540s but none could match the overall performance, reliablity, and with NAVI it was well worth it. I am still debating on buying a extended warranty for $2k for 5y/60k with 0 ded. I dont think this car will have any problems as long as you do your 60/120/180k services. Get one if you can.

I have been driving this car for 1.5 years now. Purchased a '98 with 90k miles on it, and I have NEVER had to fix anything! What a sweetheart this car has been, and a joy to drive.
