Very impressive, these motors just keep on giving.

@@iqbalsingh7460 most cars are not “investments” because they depreciate for the most part. If you already bought it I would say take care of it and it should last a good long while.

Do you still have this car? If so how many miles does it have now?

How is the oil burning problem? Very common. Can any owner advise? Thanks

Mostly the 2006 GS300 burned oil but the 3.5L can as well if it’s not maintained properly. I use Royal Purple and I don’t burn any oil and I now have over 275,000 miles.

I had a GX470 and an RX350…GX had nearly 300k and RX has about 180k…no oil burning…most Toyota/Lexus engines do not burn oil.

I’m looking at a 2009 gs350 rwd with 150k miles on it. Would you suggest as a daily driver? Is it reliable? They’re asking for 7500k would you recommend?

I always suggest that people get a mechanic to inspect a car before purchasing. That being said that is low miles for that car and year and if it’s in good condition it’s a good price. It could last another 200k miles easy.

@LLC 5016 only up to 2005. 2006 marked the first year Lexus was sold in Japan and there was no more Aristo which only matched the 1st and 2nd gen Aristo. 2006-2012 GS is the 3rd generation.

@LLC 5016 again, drive both cars. You will like the GS the most. The Camry and the Avalon are both great dependable cars but they weren’t fun to drive until 2013 for the Avalon and 2018 for the Camry.

@LLC 5016 I’m not sure why you are so bothered by my car. It is 12 years old. It has almost 270,000 miles now. I bought it for $7,000 and has cost me next to nothing and I have had it for over three years. I’m not telling anyone they have to buy it. If you want a Avalon go get one and enjoy it.

@LLC 5016 here’s a video and with lots of interior shots and the obvious lack of sportiness according to the spokes person there are lots of differences. My GS drives very much like a sports car. Very little roll and is outstanding in very curvy hills. Plus RWD and 35 more hp. I love Toyota but the Avalon is not very similar to the GS. It is very similar to the ES if not exactly the same.

Does this one come equipped with an aux input ?
