Finally someone else who likes the cars too. Scotty. I work on Mercedes as a mobile mechanic. Mercedes are the biggest overstated piles of crap on the planet. I always get customers asking me what kind of car should they buy when they’re tired of spending $500 every month in Mercedes repairs. For years I e steered the. To Lexus with the V6 engine and especially the GS 350. The maintenance is pretty Low and they don’t have the serviceable timing belt like most Lexus do….they have a timing chain that never gives any trouble. Although I specialize in Mercedes I have quite a few Lexus that I service once my customers get out of Mercedes and into Lexus. I actually like working in Lexus but I will say a lot of their factory parts are expensive as hell but the staple service item parts are pretty reasonable in the aftermarket. I deal with a lot of dealerships with wholesale accounts but Lexus dealerships suck donkey balls when it comes to getting a wholesale account. They don’t even want to talk to you if you’re not spending $100-k a year with them. Screw that man…..greedy bastards. Their loss cause I just get stuff online cheaper anyways but it’s just nice to have a relationship with a dealership at times but Lexus acts like they’re too good for the small mechanic.

[@juancastillo5078]

I was going to mention this as well. Costly over the life of a vehicle. But it doesn't matter whether its a belt or a chain. Belts wear, chains stretch, they can both snap. The important thing is what happens when it does break. If the engine is an interference engine it will mess up all the valves and timing and wreck the motor. (VW, Mitsu, Acura, Honda, and plenty more companies do this) The alternative is a free running engine which allows the belt or chain to break but not interfere with the engine. What I don't know is what the technical gain is for either configuration. There must be a reason why companies choose to do this one way or another.

I have the generation before this one. It’s a 2005 GS300, the last year of the 2JZ chassis, and a 2001 IS300 (mechanically the same car, but shortened). By far the simplest and most spacious engine bay I’ve worked on. Most of the work I do is preventative, I love these cars.

[@cqntialstarco]

Hey do you know if the 2006 has the 2JZ chasis? I bought a 2006 gs300 thinking it had the 2JZ motor but I was bummed to find out it wasn't. Obviously the GR motors are fine.

[@txprodigy95]

@@cqntialstarco no, the 2006 GS/IS are designed after the GRS crown platform. Although it’s not a JZ motor, that 3.0 GR engine in your GS300 is special in that it was only offered for a short time in the states in only the GS. It’s also pretty cool that it comes from the Crown if you’re into JDM stuff like me.

[@videomaniac108]

I think the reason for the weird location of the battery in the Porsche is to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and thus reduce its tendency to roll under hard cornering. Locating the battery behind the firewall will also lower the vehicle's polar moment of inertia and consequently increase the steering responsiveness. Every car is made with compromises between performance, comfort and convenience.

Sold my red 06 GS300 with 196k miles in Feb. Car was super reliable.
