  1. My 1995 GS 300 that has 198,000 miles (well maintained miles) recently received a new battery and immediately following the installation (literally about two blocks away from the dealership) the Overdrve "Off" indiator started flashing. Knowing that disconnecting the battery can cause this the car was returned to the dealership and was told it wasn't the battery. However, they did offer to spend three hours of diagonstic service at a cost of $400+ dollars to determine the cause. My question/s, has anyone experienced this flashing light and is there another place in the Houston area that comes recommended? I am the original buyer/owner and the car has always been maintained at a dealership but that $400+ seems a little excessive. Thanks to all.

  2. In need of advice from Lexus lovers. I find myself having to choose between a 1995 GS 300 with 189,000 miles or a 1995 LS 400 with 129,000 miles. Both have been well maintained since purchase with regular schedule maintance visits. The only major problems encountered with the GS include replacement of the distributor O ring, power steering pump and rack assembly, sensors, water pump, damper sub assembly and the rear main seal. I assume these can all be expected as normal wear while enroute to high mileage. On the other hand, the LS has had no major repairs. As the LS gains mileage can I expect to replace virturally the same items. or do they have a more reliable history? I rarely see GS's of this model on the roadways and so wonder if they are considered somewhat collectable? Any suggestions from folks who know these cars best? As you can see, I am literally riddled with indecision. Thank you.
