Then, how much would you pay for this? Another guy apparently offered $5,000 arguing mileage is too high but the seller turned it down. Also, I didn't know CARFAX had raised prices. I used CARFAX in 2004 or 2005 and I believe the deal was $29.99 for unlimited search for 1 month. Now, it's only 1 for $29.99 and only 5 for $39.99; I guess monopoly (almost) is a sweet thing. Also II, does any Lexus dealer provide the car's history with given VIN number? For free or for a fee? Can this be done via phone and fax/email without actually visiting the dealer? I won't pay more than $5,000 for that car with that miles, if the seller won't sell it then I suggest you go look for another car. And for CARFAX reports, seller should get you that...you shouldn't pay for it.

looks nice...

I had that problem on my gs300 last summer. I took my car to the dealership, and they fixed it without a problem. Something about a connecter is leaking, whatever...

94k. on my GS300 and still runs great.

ok, i will try to get one online! hope it works

did you ever fix the problem? or just went to the dealer and replaced it

it was working before with the old battery; but i had to press it several times just to get the door open. So i assumed the battery is low; now i just broke it...hahaha

yes, i am using the right battery...and not upside down. just got it from target, so should be new. does it have to be re-programmed or anything like that?

I just changed my keyless remote battery; and the thing stopped working...lol, am i doing something wrong here? i can't change the remote battery by myself? that have to be handled by a dealer?

I would suggest you only use a Lexus replacement battery. My '98 GS3 came with a Panasonic battery from the factory in Japan that lasted 10 years! I don't think you want some dumb looking yellow or red top battery sitting in the pristine engine bay of your '05, do you? Come original. His 05 has an OEM battery in it... it obviously hasn't lasted 10 years. My 02's OEM battery lasted a good 4 years... but for what an OEM battery cost, just go with another brand battery... chances are the black shroud that was with the old battery will still fit over the new one. My experience with the OEM Lexus battery was outstanding - 10 years of service is longer than ANY other OEM battery I have ever owned. I'm just relating my Lexus experience; Russ can read all of the comments and then decide for himself. I am still running on my OEM battery; and got no problems with it for few years

anyone can help?

Hey, is it possible to send me a copy as well? Lee.chen1981@hotmail.com; really appreciated it

When i changed my oil today and replace the filter; i was checking the sterring fluid as well as the brake fluid. Apparently the steering fluid should look red right?, but mine has a dirty brown colouring. As for the brake fluid, it is looking not too healthy either. anyone know how to flush them out, and replace them with new fluids? I have an 02 gs300; thanks for the help guys.

maybe the oil is low？

I had an issue before when i turn the keys the car won't start; but it cranks. The radio is working and lights as well; so i took my car in for service but all they did was change the battery. problem fixed!!! something about it requires "this amount" of voltage to start the car, anyway i got the basic idea when they tried to explain but the car is fixed...haha

How many miles can you get out of a gs300? for a car with that many miles; don't you have to change like spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, etc? man, that's like 1 gram right there.

mobil1 is synthetic..... and don't listen to the guy at autozone... he's not a technician he's a salesmen. man, what's that i get for been a newbie... ohh well, i learned my lesson

I went to auto zone the other day, and the salesman keep telling me synthic is not worth the money. so i just end up getting mobil 1

I always get my oil change at the dealership; anyone out there get them done at the local shops? and never received a coupon from the dealership before... B)

i change mine every 5000 miles or 5 months and most times its still fairly clear. i love the synthetic though! wouldn't use anything but that! most jiffy lubes or oil change places or auto zone will collect your oil so PLEASE dont throw it into a a dumpster! brian Don't you need a very good oil filter if you change them every 5,000 miles? Fram filter probably wont work right? so if i use synthetic i can just change it every 5k? and i promise wont throw it into the dummpster, or have make my trashman take it...lol!!!

thank matt. should i use high milage oil or that doesn't matter? my car is at 80k at the moment!

i am having that problems as well, is that something that needs to be replaced by the dealership or able to do that ourselves?

thanks. is synthetic that much better? and do i use high milage oil? by the way, would it be ok if i just put the old oil in the dumpest? or i need to take it somewhere for recycling?

i always get my oil change at the dealer; but since i just lost my job...going to save some money by changing it myself. i have done some research on how to change the oil for 02 gs300; but there isn't much info out there. can anyone give me some advice? like what oil i should use, and filter. my car is at 81,000miles. and what is Oil drain plug gasket? thanks in advance.

thanks, but i got a free copy from www.lexus.com. i registered with them while ago, and just happened to log on the other day.
