  The only issue I had with my 2019 GS 350 was a small leak in my rear diff which the dealer fixed under warranty. It&apos;s been a rock solid reliable vehicle 👌

  ❤A lovely review once again Kevin.<br>I own a 2013 Gs350 RWD and leased it brand new but at the end of the lease I just bought it out since it was so reliable and comfortable.<br>I have had the vehicle now for 11 years and it has been pure bliss, what an amazing vehicle. The eccelaration is effortlessly smooth, the induction sound is to die for when you wanna play a little and as a family of 4, the space is more than enough for long trips.<br>My vehicle is @ about 87000miles because I drive maybe about 8000miles a year. <br>Fortunately I am able to do my own maintenance. <br>1. Oill &amp; Filter changes every 6months &nbsp;or 3000 - 4000miles with 0w30 synthetic oil.<br>2. Spark plugs every 65000miles.<br>3. ATF, Fuel filter &amp; Coolant drain and fill every 5years<br>4. Brake fluid &amp; Differential oil every 3years.<br>5. Clean my MAF sensor and throttle body every year.<br>I have used only premium fuel and all the fluids and parts I buy oem, no compromise.<br>I don&apos;t wanna lie but the vehicle continues to look after my family.<br>From South Africa.

  I bought the cheapest GS 350 in my area for $13k because it has 187k miles. The engine, transmission and interior are mint. The exterior has its issues, but you really have to look closely. It is drives like a new car.

  Over $15K for cars over 150K miles = insanity

  I have a 2014 GS350 RWD. Owned it since new, I have 84k miles. I have had every service done at the dealer. I love this car, it still looks and drives as I did when it was new. I have had a total of three issues besides the fuel pump recall which the dealer fixed for free.<br>1.) the passenger side door actuator went out in 2022. Bought the part online and fixed it myself. Less than $200.00<br>2.) the clock on the dash stopped working last year. Dealer wanted $700 to fix. I bought the OE clock online and replaced it myself in less than 30 min. I spent $230.00<br>3.) Lexus uses a cable system to open and close the sunroof. Over time the cable tend to stretch and sag. The loose cable doesn’t affect the operation of the sunroof but rather the loose cables kind of bounce or vibrate off the sheet metal creating a noise. In 2018 the dealer replaced the cables at no charge. <br><br>Mechanically, the car has been excellent. I wish the GS platform continued on because I would be buying a new one about now and handing the 2014 down to my oldest kid. I would enthusiastically recommend the Lexus GS350 to anyone who asked <br><br>Great video

  Got a 2013 GS AWD ultra luxury package, fully loaded with 40,000 miles for 23k. one owner, full service history from Lexus, bought and resold at the same lexus dealer. Only had to replace ac sensor so far in 6 years of ownership. I&apos;ve done preventative maintenance coolant, differential, transmission fluid, brake fluid, brakes, oil. Drives like new. now has 80,000 miles on it and wouldn&apos;t sell it for less than i paid for it.

  Have a 2017 ES350 with zero problems after 70k. Bought a beautiful 2018 GS350 FSPORT last year w 55k. Did all services. Started hearing a bearing type rattle at startup and was diagnosed with alternator failing. My Endurance warranty fixed. &nbsp;Started hearing noise again and was diagnosed with bad idler pulley. Warranty fixed it and they found a water pump leak while doing that, so new water pump. Put new plugs in and found valve cover gasket leak and broke a coil pack connector. Fixed all that. Ac vent servo motor failed and warranty covered that. Front brakes at 60k were costly. I absolutely love the car but can&apos;t say it&apos;s been problem free. Damn glad I bought a warranty. All services are done so hoping I have many more years without issues ahead of me.

  This is the kind of car that people like but nobody really buys, kinda like the land cruiser.
