Pulled the engine cover and upper timing cover off, and found someone had replaced a good bit of the wiring harness with household-grade wires. Was quoted 8 hours labor plus $220 for a new harness to fix it. Decided it wasn’t worth the trouble so I passed on it. On to the next!

Wow, no matter how old this lexus is, it still looks so so beautiful, it really held up

[@riceoobxg]

This review brings back good old memories. I had a 2002 with every option including Mark Levinson, factory HID headlights, and factory touchscreen infotainment (incredibly responsive). To this day, it is still the best audio system I've ever heard in a car. The newer Mark Levinson I sampled in the GX 460 doesn't seem to compare. The vocals, details, and soundstage was incredible. The cabin was dead silent and the 2JZ, as with any inline-6 or v12, inherently never vibrates by design. The AC was too cold. I had to constantly turn it off every few minutes otherwise all the windows would fog up from the outside. I would've loved to send it your way to review.

[@MrCarGuy]

They also designed the UZ V8 engines to be just as smooth as a typical I6. It had 8 crank counterweights instead of the usual 6. They spared little expense back then.

[@jehadwadi4554]

Mark levinson is nice but you should listen to the newer Harmon Kardon systems in BMWs, waaay better.

[@MrCarGuy]

@@jehadwadi4554 I've had plenty of experience with a 90s Alpine system, Nakamichi, and early Mark Levinson, and most modern "premium" audio systems don't exceed them when measuring with CD source quality. The Burmester system in an S-Class is amazing, though.

[@jehadwadi4554]

MrCarGuy It’s an S class (the best or nothing) haha. But seriously my family has a 2019 lexus lx570 and the mark levinson is mediocre compared to harmon kardon. The lx570 is a a sweet truck though.

[@MrCarGuy]

@@jehadwadi4554 The brands hardly matter at all. It's all about the balance and tuning to the interior space. The Burmester is the only one I've heard with an unnecessarily high number of speakers that is better enough for the price than a well-balanced and high quality 4 to 6 speaker + woofer system. If you're interested in good reviews that cover audio systems, look at savagegeese.

[@fitzgeraldwalker8229]

@@MA-it3ps You say that but the 1UZ VVTi engines are probably the most underrated engines (though quickly gaining popularity). Forged con rods and mild head work allows over 1,000 whp easily. Same results with the 3UZ as it's about the same engine. XAT Racing supports everything. Simple to manual swap too. Look up the Do-Luck Toyo 3UZ Supra.

[@MA-it3ps]

@@MrCarGuy I think you misunderstood me, I'm tired of the ~250 HP in my G35 VQ35DE. I'm well aware of how strong the 1UZ is, but let's face it, if you're gonna build a V8 sedan in 2020 might as well just drop in a LS.

I have an 88k mile 2000 GS400 Platinum (improved leather, bird's eye maple trim, black chrome exterior trim, and unique wheels) in Millennium Silver over black. Last month of production. I truly believe it's a timeless design and couldn't ask for a better car. Speaking of the ball joints, the one thing that is crucial on these and other Toyotas with this suspension design is to use OEM ball joints (others are too risky and not to same standards at all) every 80-90k miles.

[@iheartgs400]

This was a issue on the earlier 98-00 models. www.clublexus.com/forums/suspension-and-brakes/310895-warning-to-all-2nd-gen-gs-owners.html it’s well documented on the clublexus forums.

[@MrCarGuy]

@@iheartgs400 This is a thread where people neglected to change them. These are bunch of people who let theirs go for way too long. Yes they changed the design, but the stress put on the ball joints requires even the updated (and slightly strengthened) newer part to be replaced every 80-90k miles. I wouldn't let _any_ car go without ball joints for as long as some of those people let them go.

A lot of people think the 2jz was originally from the Supra, but it was actually born in the Lexus GS/Toyota aristo first. The aristo which is the jdm gs was the first vehicle to have the turbo 2jz and na version of the engine. Even the base JDM version of the supra got this NA engine with auto just like this lexus GS, all of the powertrain is shared with the Supra. But in the usa we only got the turbo supra, thats the only difference. And u can put the turbo 2jz into any gs300 from a jdm aristo or from another supra. I guess u could kinda call this a luxury 4 door supra. This chassis is also similar to the Lexus sc300/Toyota soarer, and Toyota chaser which we never got here in the states. A lot of people think this is just a normal luxury car but its not, a lot of people in Japan drift these and build them up. They are sleeper cars for sure!

A GS with no exhaust leak. That's a first. My 99 was leaking from the Y pipe 02 sensor being rusty. Mostly taken care of. Power steering pump took a crap at 204k but otherwise great comfortable decently fun car.

Pretty normal issues on a high miles Lexus.

[@user-ki1vd3ti8j]

[@ryanrobinson188]

[@TazMo86]

[@Saladon89]

[@HoagMurkula]

Might be picking a black 01 up tmr. I cant wait!

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Love the chrome wheels.

Before I learned I was getting handed down our Pontiac Vibe, this was my number one choice for my first car. Still want one in addition to mine 😛

[@rightlanehog3151]

Take good care of that Vibe. It has neither the luxury or power of this Lexus but it does have the same durability and much more adaptability.

[@a.kblur04]

Right Lane Hog I plan on it :) it’s such an amazing car, I’m super grateful. I’ve driven some other things my friends or family have and the Vibe just feels so, so much more solid and I plan on keeping it until the odometer stops counting at 299,999 hahaha

[@vangchong3080]

I paid 5K for my 99 lexus gs300, you're gotten a better deal than mine.

[@sxmolin]

I have a 02 GS300 same colors! Great car!!

[@Alex-sz8ku]

I've been looking at one of these or the GS430. It's nice to see a video from you on one!

[@noelr1010]

Alexander Wilson Get a 430 if you want power! Stock GS300 is toooo slow

[@Alex-sz8ku]

@@noelr1010 Yeah the 430 is faster for sure and from research I've done the gas mileage isn't that different either as long as the right foot isn't too heavy. I dont really need anything fast for my daily driver but it is nice to have some passing power cause everyone drives slow where I live. I've also considered an '07 GS350 but those cost a bit more then I want to spend at the moment.

[@williamjames6967]

I love the 2gen GS.. I have a 99 gs400.. with 265000.. And still runs like always have.. susp..needs lil work.. but.. it's my daily

[@bruceyung70]

Mine has 225k.

[@sicksour7791]

Those inline 6s are hard to keep leak free lol but theyll run forever. ive got an 01 gs300 with 191k miles. such solid reliable cars

[@huykhoi]

Thank you. Thats my dream car. I love gs300 2005

[@igeekone]

It may not be exciting but it's supremely comfy and reliable.

[@isnowyazn]

Well then, I have never seen "paddle shifters" in this manner before LOL
