Be aware of the brake booster failure. I had a 99 300 with 63000 miles. It just went out and from the forum it looks like it was going to be over $1500 to repair. Traded her in, they gave me $8000.

Help? Anyone answer this?

1999 GS 300 - 1st and only owner

My GS has been a great car. Style still looks good on the road vs. 2004 models. 100,000 miles with normal repair. (belts - brakes) Handles well in snow for rear wheel drive. Only failure at 102,000 has been the brake booster pump which to my surprise was a +$2200 repair. I was able to find some used units; however, after having two ind. repair shops decline to install a used pump and planning on having another 3-4 years with the car. The decsion was easy to make.

The problem seems very common. Weird for a car with that reputation. Mine failed at 70K.

I've seen someone in Europe who rebuilds these. Does anyone in the USA?

Anyone know someone who rebuilds the brake booster block. I have a 99 GS300 6 cyl and I can not find anything latter than 97. Somewhere, maybe here, someone said that Leux wants over $1500 for one (give me a break)
