We have a 1996 Toyota Camry with 65k miles [bought it at 47k] and the ride is just like you mentioned today and the day when we bought it.
I agree with that 100%, if ride was the only concern [which was one of my highest priority, when I was deciding on which kind of vehicle to buy]. But, then those cars don't have things that Lexus have. For example: Far most THE Looks, the kind of leather, the name, and etc.....the list can go on for ever.
Well, even if ride was the only conern when buying a car. Lexus is not all bad, except of Gen I LS's. My friend, just bought a 1994 GS300 with 130k and the ride of the car is just like the "Camrys" but I'm not sure if any suspension work has been done to it.
BTW: It is 1994 GS300 130k, excellent condition in&out, except for the driver seat has tones of wrinkles. FOR: $7,000.
Now, from the price and can we predict that the car has been modified in its lifetime.
OR maybe its just because it is a GS.
The thing that irritates me is the fact that why the vibration takes place in 60-70mph range why can’t it be in 80mph or above. Most parts of the interstate [the part I drive on daily basis] have speed limit of 55 to 65mph. So, to loose the vibration I have to speed [and take a risk of getting pulled over by a cop, hiding in trees] or go slower than the posted speed limit and get passed by a Buick [which I really hate]. And, in rural areas the speed limit is 45-55 mph and there are no signs of cops anywhere so you can do 80mph or above but then there are very very sharp curves and hills SO it takes it back to driving it at 60-70mph.
Sorry, for the confusion. It’s just that I have to drive at 60-70mph range everyday, because of [the above description].
