:cheers: Welcome to the Club :cheers: Thanks for the welcomes everyone... very nice to be accetped so early haha. So I did a little more research, and even though the carfax is clean, I ran an autocheck (anyone about to buy a used car I suggest you get this too) on the car and it was sold as a car with unibody damage... even though the car looks clean, as you said, it was too good to be true :( So again I must go back to looking for a car at a good price... I found one at a Nissan dealership that's in mint condition and actually does check out on carfax and carcheck are clean. As of now they're asking for 28,500 or something. No idea if this is a good price or not The reason why I'm not pulling the trigger that fast is because I have an uncle who knows the auto auction business so I roughly know how much a car like this costs... They can say all they want about the services they do, but that can only cost so much. But at the same time, it's gonna be tough to find a totally clean car for the price I'm hoping for.

First of all thank you all for the advice and comments... keep them coming! I'll take any and all info I can get :D G man, how bad are these rattles and sounds ? I have a 93 Maxima thats mostly quiet except for when it gets pretty cold. You hear things here and there but its nothing bad at all. I feel like small sounds and what not I could deal with if the ride is as comfortable people say it is. But Gman, what did you do to try to fix it? How many times was it at the dealer? Did it get better at least? Or still unbearable? Let me know... Other people if you're like G man let me know too... I want all opinions and comments. Thanks again for all of your help!

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I am thinking about buying a used 2006 Lexus GS. Looking at getting AWD with all the options. Just have a few questions... I'm going to a Used Car dealership on Sunday (I hope) to look at one on sale that matches my description. Has about 35k miles, clean carfax and carcheck. The car is still under warranty for about 1 year. The asking price is currently 24k. Is this a good deal (assuming once I go the car is clean)? What are your experiences with the car? I mean I know I'm going to hear mostly good things since its a GS forum... but its nice to hear from the ppl who have the car itself. I am looking for a car thats a comfortable/luxury ride with a little bit of power/sport in it. I'm also looking to keep this car for a LONG time. I've read the posts... seen a bunch of people commenting on the rattles in the car... is this really a problem in ALL the GS models? Could I be making a mistake here... or is it something that can be fixed even if the car I get has it (based on the posts I haven't seem to get a clear picture) I live in NY suburb area (Queens near LI), if there are people around here on this board... where's a good dealership to go to in the area? Will they even allow me to go to their dealership for warranty service checkups? (I plan to do this once I buy the car, whenever that is). I know there were 3 service recalls and that'd have to be the first thing I get done. I've read about Lexus's extended warranty... seems like a good plan, but how would that work for me since I'm planning on buying from a used car dealership? ANY and all info given would be greatly appreciated. Sorry that my first post is so long, I just really want to pick the brains of the owners and get a good idea of what it's like to have this car. Thanks for your help everyone!
