Bought my "salvage" GS 430 back in 2013 with 130k miles on it, now in 2022, at 240k it runs as well as it did when I bought it. I never changed the timing belt, runs super smooth with plenty of power. I have no desire to buy a new car, I am happy with my old GS430.

Man, i grew up in this car, and soon ill be able to own a car of my own, definitely looking forward to buying this beauty.The problem is Serbia has a very small amount of Lexuses ,most of which are IS 220s, and not a lot of older ones.The car i grew up in was imported from UAE.Unfortunately, right hand drive cars are forbidden here now. My chances of driving this are very small and it's killing me. You may be the only youtuber giving this car the attention it deserves.Thumbs up for that!

I know im late to the party and might sound mind of bias but does anyone prefer the 98-05 Lexus Gs over the 06-current style? I love the interior and features of the 06-current but i cant get with the exterior styling and body lines. The 98-05 just exterior catches my eye as well the "bubble" headlights and taillights are iconic!

The best thing about the '98-'05 GS versus the later ones is the inline 6. So many great luxury cars going back to at least early 60's had the inline 6 and for good reason. A v6 just isn't the same and likely not as smooth or sonorous. To be fair though, I haven't driven any other GS than my 2000 GS 300 which I've had since new. I do like the gens 3 and 4 body styles, but also not as much as gen 2.

I recently experienced a radiator failure (in a drive-thru) at 498,000 miles. I ordered a new radiator online and plan to replace it with the help of a KZbin video in hopes of hitting the coveted half a million mile milestone. Keep the excellent GS content coming and thank you!

I bought a 1998 GS 400 with 178k from an auction for $1200. I drove is across country 2500 miles will no real problems. My mechanic informed me that rats are the engine knock wire and the vacuum switch valve harness, both of which triggered the CEL. During quarantine I’ve had the following replaced: knock sensors, spark plugs, vacuum switch valve connector, starter, rear breaks, and intake manifold gasket. This week I’m going to a salvage yard to pick up a trunk lid, rear bumper, rims from a 1st gen IS 300, and a side view mirror. I hope to be driving the Lexus soon. I’m proud to be a GS owner! The car is unmatched.

Great video man... learned a few things. Update to Tip 8... you don’t have to go that far in the rear to unlatch the fuel door, if look behind the panel closer to the tail light on the same side, there SHOULD be a vinyl handle that if you pull will open the fuel door. So either way works but check to see if yours is there.

I just bought my first Lexus!! It’s a 2003 gs430 w/ nav. It’s beautiful condition! My Toyota Matrix xrs which I love actually idles where u can feel it in steering wheel even w/ crazy low miles and babying it. You can’t even tell this Lexus IS turned on when it’s running. It has 200k miles which I would never ever ever ever get close to buying a car with those miles.. but this one is so well maintained and literally every button on the car works and it has Zero mechanical problems. Leather drivers seat is wrinkled but not ripped, other seats are like new. One huge issue for me is that I can’t connect my phone to play music. I’m not about to use a stupid fm transmitter. That does not work in Vegas worth crap. Looking for a work around.

2001 gs430 here. the lexus dealership will program-out these features for free if you don't like them. i took out the sunroof because i was afraid i might accidently leave the sunroof open. not something you want to do in florida. so now only the windows go down when i hold the unlock button down. i just checked and the sunroof still tilts up if i use the key to open the windows. darn, missed that one, time to call the dealer lol. you can have them program the sunroof out, open fully, or just tilt up. i also had them program-out the moving steering wheel. i think it will make the motor last longer. just give them a call and make an appointment with the tech team. simple as that. the keyfob is designed to fit in your hand with the key pointing upward. no need to hold it up in the air and use your other hand. just don't point the key-end at the car. the key should lay in your hand. this will also make you an antenna LOL thanks a lot for the wiper trick. i didn't know that one. don't remember seeing it in the owners manual. where the other secrets are stored LOL great info for those without a manual. thanks forward

You have a nice dealer. Mine just laughs at the thought of doing anything for free for customers with vehicles this old. They have a flat fee to change up to 3 features, and the fee is typically 1hr labor.

@@ForwardMomentum funny thing is you paid 7k almost a decade ago for yours and its still worth 5k-6k NOW even with the additional miles .... Very hard to find an inexpensive pre-owned "premium" midsize sports sedan that you can buy cheap and it doesnt really depreciate any longer. Thats how it works for a nice example of ANY car. 1st. They loose value quickly (like all cars) 2nd. That depreciation slows almost to a halt ( its possible to sell a nice example for CLOSE to what you paid(used) 3rd eventually the values will go up up (Yeah I know DUH!! right?) But take notice that this DOES NOT happen to 80% of pre-owned autos It takes a Sexy/Timeless/ design and of course a strong track record/Reliable machine ect... For this to happen. So right now is the time to go grab one if you can ...I mean if NOTHING else the inline 6 3.0L 2jz under the hood will fetch $$$ (GS300)

In Japan the windows will all close. There is also a way to adjust the subwoofer level through the head unit I think you hold a few buttons like 1 and 6 then it shows up. You can also open mouth casual and put fob in and it gives max range. If you push in parking brake and start car then release you kill DRL.all of the points an this post work on the LS as well.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I bought a GS300 yesterday, with one problem however - the sunroof doesn't seem to want to open at all although it does make a noise as if it is trying to when pressing the buttons or the tilt feature, would you happen to know why this might be? Cheers from the UK.

I actually don’t. There are sensors in there and grease. Maybe try to gently help it along and see if it will go? Definitely don’t force it too hard though.
