1999 Lexus GS400 - Absolutely amazing car - 12 years old now
I have owned this car since it was 4 years old. I bought it in November 2002. I have zero regrets about buying this car. I bought this car at my local Lexus dealer and it was previously owned by a doctor who had religiously performed all maintenance at the same dealer that sold it to him (and where I bought it from). The car had less than 40K miles on it and it now has 75K Miles. Nothing has ever broken on this car other than the usual minor rattles from the dash. I modified the car quite extensively - Big Brake Kit, Semi-active suspension, LSD from a Supra TT, higher stall speed Torque Converter, custom exhaust, custom audio/nav system, custom forged light alloy HRE 18" wheels.
Lexus GS 400
Best car I ever drove. The motor does everything asked of it effortlessly. Absolutely reliable so far.Fun to drive.
Louis' Lexus
Great performance and style. Upgraded stereo and wheels worth the expense. tire rotation ad bal. every 3 to 4 housand miles a must with 17inch Z rated tires. no major problems and it's still a joy to drive!
EXPENSIVE REPAIRS
I bought the car used with 38k miles in March 03. No problems until 65k where my alternator needed to be replaced (I had to tow from turnpike). $800. At 80k miles check engine light and cat converter needed to be replaced $1500/converter and this car has 2 so $3000. I still like the car and plan to keep it for a while. More reliable than a BMW or Audi.
A sedan like no other!
Whoa, what a machine. The workmanship is near perfect. I bought mine used with 89k on the odometer...runs like it's new. Only nuisance with the GS4 is loosing your change during WOT acceleration. But who cares!!! E-shift is fun like working a game controller. I cruise to work at 80~95mph...the car rides and handles very well. The chassis is slightly loose at high speeds over highway bumps and cornering. TRD has components to tighten things up. This car has a very solid engine that will handle a 400rwhp upgrade. Many mods are available. My next upgrade is the L-tuned steering module, 2800 rpm TC, and LSD.
Best deal on wheels
Bought car with 90k miles on it...most everyone thought it had 25k. That is how good this car looks. 17" silver wheels with spoiler...all black with Nav. Car has an elegant look of muscle to it. Lowered my front about 1"...huge improvement aesthetically. Engine/tranny is incredible...very fast, very strong, very fun. Yet, very quiet and refined. I've already put 20k miles on mine...about 110k now, and everything still works as if it were new. Only the floormats show the car's age!!
My GS
Good Car...like many, I understand, the radio display failed after 3 years. Water pump problem found and repaired while in for an oil change...repairs all under warranty.
The GS400 is inspiring
A truly great car. I have owned it since Aug. 1999 and would not trade it for many of the newer cars out, except for a newer Lexus. This car has had no mechanical or interior problems since I bought it. I love the acceleration of this engine and the smooth handling at 120mph. This car is the best of approx. 20 or so I have owned in my life so far. I have looked and test driven several others and this is still the best by far of the mid-luzury sedans.
GS400
I have owned several Toyota Supras and this sedan is the next best thing! Great performance and head turning looks in a reliable package add up to an incredible vehicle.
Bye Bye Mr. 330I
You will grow to love your commute. Well, maybe not love it, but hate it less. Freeway onramps become a joy. Need power to pass? No problem. This car is elegant, reliable, and POWERFUL.
