2007 Lexus GS Review - Kelley Blue Book

[@elibutton]

The GS effin' rocks. I love love the GS. Owned a 2001 GS430 - awesome - went 299k miles and still running. Then got a 2008 GS460 - with 4.6L engine, 348hp, now has 216k miles, and she runs like a dream. She's my fave - just well engineered, nice interior and buttons, nice steering wheel and controls. Awesome power with quality and luxury.

Lukas not much difference in power

[@kgisabeast]

MrBon3sz about 4.9-5.1 0-60 vs 5.6-5.8, I've driven both and the 460 has a smoother power delivery with the 8 speed transmission.

[@N3RFTHIS]

the 460 with the 8 speed is much better than the 300 and 430...That and they are very rare. Hold on to it. Might be worth something in a few years

Bought with 130k has 170k now starter went out 1000 miles ago, and that's been the only thing I've had to fix, other than that just oil changes. Had an older 99 GS before for 3 years that I sold with 230k and never had one thing go wrong with that.

[@Finesse460]

Thanks for the breakdown, Oliver. I now plan on getting a 2007 Lexus LS460. My family has always been with Toyota and Lexus.. Not sure why I never followed that example. Now I know what I need to be proud of!

I totally agree, Lexus are much cheaper to run than BMWs and Mercs, much more reliable and much better equipped. :-)

[@guzman9011]

Let me make something CLEAR..Audi is garbage, obvi. BMW looks great but their electrical problems are almost humorous, and Mercedes is prob the least dependable of them all with its electrical and mechanical issues. Only a Lexus can be driven to 300 thousand miles (and I've seen it) they are solid and dependable. Unlike the other 3

After selling our lexus gs (99 model) about 7 years ago we went thru Jaguar S type, two Audi A4s and after all of them breaking down repeatedly we bought a GS300 (07 model), and i just got reminded of that lexus feel which u can only find in a lexus, bentley or Rolls we tested BMW 5, Merc. E, and NO other car has the whole package like lexus (smooth, comfy, and great performance) and of course 5* reliability

[@GregOlotka]

You can get a used 2006 for around $20,000 with about 40-50,000 miles. Depending on if it's got the NAV/ML/AWD. those were really expensive options, around $5500 added to the base price. The depreciation is staggering on luxury cars. The GS 350 they describe probably stickered at $55,000.

[@rapidotorpedo]

i have always ben attracted to the gs because its diff then es and ls even though we have the ls460l i have been more attracted to the gs design

[@shwndh]

Test drove this car and the ES350. I preferred the feel of the ES. There's just too much stuff going on taking the driving experience from you. Although the ES is cushy, it was still pretty tight and responsive with good power. And the GS arm rest/center stack needlessly cramps the front passengers. The driving position was just uncomfortable for me. (6'3") But the ES actually had more room, front and back. My next car will either be the ES or an A6.

[@lighturple]

What you have to remember when you put 65K into buying your Lexus, is that it will NEVER DIE EVER.

I narrowed down my search for an affordable ($6,500 - $8,000) used luxury sedan to 2007 Lexus GS 350, 2007-08 Acura TL Type S (because I really like it with the RL engine) and the 2009-10 Infiniti M35 (7-speed). For the value aspect, I'm also considering the 2009-2010 Nissan Maxima SV.

[@GregOlotka]

Sir, the E-Class WAS legendary. Has not been so since 1996 W210 series. Every version since then has suffered from the ill-conceived Chrysler merger and quality control problems, and especially with the new version, trashy, trendy styling. The E-Class has become, like the BMW, a car designed to be leased. They are no longer engineered for life, they will become massive headaches for all subsequent owners spending more time in the shop than on the road.

[@aksaboutm3]

After my selling our old GS about 7 years ago we went through Jaguar S type, Audi A4 twice, and after all of them breaking down (true story btw), we found a good priced lexus gs300 2007 model, and of the past cars the jag had a smooth ride, the audis ok performance but shit ride, the lexus though has the whole package but everything is better. Its got a feel only met in a Bentley Arnage or Rolls. If someone put u in it blindfolded u wud say "this is a lexus"

??? the front end of the GS looks NOTHING like the E-Class. i am tired of people ragging on the GS styling. It looks better than any lexus ever, and it's a lot cooler looking than the BMW 5/ MB E-class / or Infinity M.

[@Johncarson9113]

Haha its funny you would make fun of a luxury automaker for its simple similarities through badging. If thats your real problem then your missing the whole point entirely. Yes the Ls600 may sound like the s600 but how does this constitute your point in that "lexus copies mercedes" . If anything the germans are inspired by the Japense luxury design. Take the Infiniti Fx coupe like crossover, BMW copied them and made a X6, the "Ls self park assist", BMW and mercedes now have it too.

[@gr1mm3h]

[@ApexAZnn]

You can afford this car. Dude when i save up around $10000 im picking up one of these. It will probably have around 200,000 kms (about 120,000 miles) but im not worried at all about the mileage. Toyotas and Hondas can last forever and are super reliable. I worked with someone who told me his old toyota 4runner made it 600,000kms ! Matt Farah has a Lexus LS with 1,000,000 miles! So i see 200,000 as just the "engine break in period" hahaha

The 3rd Gen GS is flat out the best looking mid size luxury sedan on the road today, that is not an Opinion it is a FACT. The 5 series is awkward and ill proportioned with a bangle butt trunk. The new E is slashy and hideous, MB is taking styling cues from Hyundai now. The RL is zzzzzz. The Infinity M is too tall, and narrow, the new one is probably even worse. The Audi A6 just looks like a Bloated A4. And yes, the CLS is the best, but that's in a style class of it's own.

@TheNipommu Lexus is MILES ahead of BMW and Mercedes, who are overrated beyond belief. We have a BMW 3 series and the Lexus IS is a much better car in every way possible. There's a reason why Lexus wins awards every year and is the #1 luxury car maker.

[@v2ds]

hahah Audi and BMW and MB...are probably better, esp. BMW for the drive experience. But they'll all fall apart after 4 years, whereas Lexus has quality and reliability. I personally am a BMW person, but when looking for reliability, Lexus takes the cake from the Germans.
