sickGS Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi everyone I’m looking into buying a 99 GS300 that is nearby. This would be my first Lexus. I really like the car but don’t want to get stuck with a lemon. I went over the car and it looked good as far as tires brakes and other noticeable things but wanted to know if there is anything that I should look for or any specific problems these cars are known for.

sickGS Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 I forgot to add that it has 100,000 miles :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azam_butt1 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I forgot to add that it has 100,000 miles :chairshot: ← Best thing to do would be taking the car to a nearby Toyota or Lexus dealer and let them do a 128 point inspection which will tell you every thing about the car including all the history. Toyota Charges 79.99 and lexus charge 99.99 for the inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you check out all speeds on a/c fan....sometimes lower speeds sound noisy. Take and play cd player (cd'.s go in upside down in the changer). Test drive aggressively on and off highway. No problems with mine yet but I am always listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
