    For anyone wondering about reliability, I’ve owned one for 5 months and here’s my experience. I bought an 08 gs350 rwd with 114k for $10,000. Car now has 125k 5 months later. I wouldn’t quite say the car is bulletproof, but it damn near close to it overall. I had my alternator and my water pump go out within the same month. However, i was able to repair both of those issues without taking it to a shop with relative ease. It’s worth noting that I’m not really into mechanical work and I still was able to get the jobs done. But yeah, had mine for 5 months and absolutely no significant issues whatsoever. Drive like a dream and girls love my car

It has a sportier feel than the Lexus and the AWD will help if you live in an area where it snows. There is also a GS350 AWD you could check out as well. Of course I will recommend the GS350 but I'd test drive both and check the owner forums for the model year you are looking at before purchasing. This is one of the reasons I started this channel!

    Personally I rate this and the UK spec GS300 as the most practical, luxurious and handsome lexus ever made. UK 300 version used a 247bhp v6 mated to a 6 sp auto box which was far nicer than the cvt to drive. Interiors were gorgeous. Basically a fastback LS spec with lovely side profile and huge boot (trunk as you Americans say). Zero to 60 was 7.6 secs and top speed 148mph with average uk fuel consumption of 28mpg but motorway cruising raised this significantly to 44 mpg. Seats were 14 way adjustable with air con and heaters. Best car I ever owned.

    It costs an arm and a leg to get Android Auto or Apple CarPlay on the damn thing though, with no options to install an aftermarket stereo you need a $600 kit and then probably pay $200-$400 for installation unless you wanna do it yourself (which I don't). Still contemplating getting it. It's not a luxury experience for me without Android Auto.

    Fleck I hear ya. One of the drawbacks of a car from 2008. I wish it had apple CarPlay but I get by with using the AUX cord. Thank you for watching! I appreciate it

    Like this car except the rear light and the centre console cos it reminds me of a 60s round tv.

    Great video thank you for the information. I am considering buying a Lexus however I’m torn between the GS350 and ES350 models priced under 10k. It will be my first car and I’m 6’0 tall, desire comfort, and having a cruising driving style any recommendations would be appreciated thank you

    Gs350 the way to go,I'm a 6 footer myself and very comfortable in the gs350,I ended buying a 2010 Acura TL sh-awd n my wife had the es350 and her comment was "she felt like a grandma going to a tea party😜" so we traded it in for another Acura TL😎... But the gs350 would be the way to go better head space
