1995 Lexus GS 300 Touring 3.0

Summary:

One of the best overall

Dash outside temp lamp failed at 140,000.

Tail light at 120,000.

General Comments:

Overall the car is excellent, and it shows how good a car can be engineered and built. At 146,000 everything works on the car. The A/C has never been serviced and is ice cold. It is underpowered by today's standard, but handles very well considering its size and weight.

I call it the sewing machine - not very exciting, but it WILL start and it WILL get you there with pretty good overall gas mileage (22-24 mix driving) - very reliable obviously.

I should add this car has been fairly abused - left outside all year some years, teenage driven at times, lax maintenance. Also does quite well in snow with snow tires. The 12 CD trunk player works as always. I think an excellent used car for the current book values.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
