Used 2000 Lexus GS 400 Consumer Reviews

I finally got the dream car

8 years ago on my honeymoon, we got an upgrade to a 95 GS300. After driving it I knew I would always pine for one of my own. Well, I finally stepped up and bought a used GS400 model and have not stopped grinning since. I live down a long, curvy country road and I look forward to that drive every day. I play with the manual shifting option (wish it would shift more quickly), the POWER option, or economy mode with the VSC feature enabled. I haven't been let down yet. It's a roomy car with very comfortable seats and easy to see gauges and instruments. The steering is slightly loose with a bit of an understeer, but that's what you get with the luxury ride.

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.

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.

Not Happy With Purchase

I was surprised to find out how many problems I've had out of this car. I've had two Camrys in the past and had minimal problems so I expected the same with the Lexus. I have handling problems. 3 different repair shops have not been able to get the alignment right. I've had recurring windshield wiper problems (they stop working even though motor has been replaced). I've also had recurring brake problems (replacement of pads and calipers). Really expected more stability and reliability out of Lexus.

Lexus GS 400

Wonderful vehicle. Excellent excelleration, very comfortable, quiet, and 100% reliable. I will buy another one.

Superlative

The GS400 is a true automobile. Unlike many "cars" on the road, its capabilites far exceed your expectations. Strong aceleration, nimble cornering capabilty and good stopping power, this luxuary coupe can run with the best sports cars on the road, even today. With its superlative acceleration and shifting, and excellent quite, ride, it is well worth the price. You get what you pay for.

RELIABLE LEXUS

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!

what else do u want?

reliability, fun, and nice to look at. it's been a great car. solid brakes (u need them).

Unbelieveable!

With over 268,000 miles this 1999 GS 400 will last longer than I will. Except for a fuel pump and alignments, that's it. Smooth and quiet engine with more power than ever needed. Am using 44K on a sticky valve, but "what a car
