I've read the guy post that has over 200k miles and he is taking care of his GS like a baby. I've also read of people having transmission issues, is this common? When I have a chance to test drive it, I want to know how the transmission feels because when I do purchase it I want to do a full flush on oils and a fluids. Im kind of a DIYer and know my way around a car. Any advice on the feel of the transmission?

Is this a recall issue? only thing i see on the toyota/lexus website for recall is: "Safety Recall ELF - Remedy Notice - Various Models - Potential Fuel Pressure Sensor Leak" which should be a gasket leak, right?

i thought these models had timing chains

I am new to lexus but have own some toyotas. I would like to say I know a good amount of cars and how to work on them. My question is should I buy this 2006 Lexus GS300 AWD with 112,000 Miles for $12,000? Some say there are transmission problems, Some say just keep inup with fluid changes makes it last longer with the transmison... Besides some "usual" fluid changes for engine, transmission, coolant, break fluid, differential ?
