Owning a Lexus GS350 2012 in 2023

[@lancewood1410]

Same year as mine. I have SWIFT springs and GSF front lower arm bushes and GSF front brakes on mine. Drives like a dream for a 11 year old car. Power is more than adequate for a daily driver.

[@theinsideman2532]

Yes, always enjoyed the drive in this one.

[@LILUCE408]

How much u pay for the GSF brakes?

They had an AC servo tsb for the AC problem you spoke about. Lexus in usa offered to fix free of charge until 2022. I’m surprised the clock went out so fast

[@play69zoe]

I have the 2013 version same color. Mines is good on gas. I love it.

Great cars! I have a white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I bought used almost four years ago & has been a wonderful & very reliable car as expected. It currently has 76k miles & not planning on replacing it any time soon. Easily my best car so far.

[@theinsideman2532]

Yeah, it's a wonderful drive.

[@hatefanclub]

The AC servo motors are a common fault - the little motors that change ducts direction and venting often malfunction. You have to basically pull up the dash and put it together again costing hours of labour and your dash will never go back to the way it was before from factory. You could try disconnect battery and allow for ac servo initialisation. Follow proper procedure, 5mins after off, dc negative, wait 10mi s after reconnecting, ACC on ie press start button twice without foot and the radio and other things will boot up, once it finished then start ignition.

Bro fixing the car from dealer is very expensive , I suggest you to try to repair the car from outside garage. Actually there are many good garages here in sharjah who just charge a reasonable amount.

[@therevenant320]

I’m moving to Dubai in 2 months. I’m planning Lexus GS350 or Infiniti Q50 or Subaru WRX.

[@gnixon9307]

clock is normally just a bad fuse , easy to replace

[@theinsideman2532]

That's what I thought but they(Lexus service) say of having to open the entire dashboard to fix the clock.

[@larryzeldin7561]

Ofcourse they do. Their in the business of ripping people off.

[@larryzeldin7561]

I bought 2012 when it first came out,it was base model at $52k if I remember correctly. Your model is slightly more expensive,it’s right below the F sport. I believe your model has the sport plus option like the f sport while the base just had regular sport mode and different wheels.

[@theinsideman2532]

Bingo!

[@thenaijagamer7029]

Please what’s that device behind the rear view mirror at 5:58? Is it a camera? And how do you operate it? I have it in my Lexus as well but I don’t know how to use it

[@theinsideman2532]

Hey, it's a safety assistant. It would automatically come into action when it sense danger by immediately breaking the vehicle and tightening the seatbelts. It's worked for me many times.

[@jacksonyusuf]

Perfect used car

[@BrightsonDavid]

how many dhs would it cost you for a full tank and what was the range you were getting? Also 35k for repairs? That's so shocking for a Lexus.

[@theinsideman2532]

It's difficult to tell a figure with ever changing fuel prices in uae but the range was very little as 9kms per litre if I remember right. 35k aed in repairs is the usual wear and tear after 150k which is as expected if you were to have it fixed from Lexus itself.

[@izupro3532]

I will love to own one

[@theinsideman2532]

Not a bad idea 😉

[@Abz1324]

Thank you for making a video on the GS350, don’t see many done from Dubai. Do you have the car up for sale? I am in Dubai too, so might be interested.

[@theinsideman2532]

Sorry, it's not available for sale.

[@thesicknes9273]

where did you get those mud flaps

[@theinsideman2532]

I didn't add anything. This is how it comes from the showroom.

Do you still have it?

[@malikshaik13]

I was thinking to buy one here in Dxb. Since you mentioned of high fuel consumption then i might skip. However, what's the ratio for 100km

[@theinsideman2532]

You get around 9 kms per litre, not fuel efficient considering the size of the vehicle but it's a pleasure to drive.

[@Meditationrelaxinghealing]

18Mi/gal. That's what I get. But I love aggressive driving. And I hit 7000 rpm really often. But the hiway mileage is 26. Not so bad for awd and such performance car.
