Nice hope you get yourself a good one. As far as physical I would inspect doors make sure they all close well without being forced/gaps between the doors sometimes it can be tell and tell signs it’s been wrecked. But best this is carfax to be honest with you. You can also check the oil level and of course a good drive with the radio/music off windows down to listen to the car.

Actually I did at the shop that installed the coil overs. It’s just that the coil overs I have can be used for track/ street use. She is not smooth like butter like the stock suspension but not that bad for coils either.
I like the look. I have awd so i am afraid to lower it at all and end up having to fix any suspension stuff.
Got it… yes I was scared too but I only decided to go that route after the stock suspension started to leak. If I ever do run into issues I will post them. So far she so solid.
Beautiful car. What front lip is that? Also what brand of wheels are those?
Much appreciate it. It’s an Ikon Motorsports VTX style, got it from Amazon, it comes black but had it painted matched locally. Wheels are from a 2015+ Subaru WRX STi, unfortunately they do not clear hub so I had to get some work done to make them clear the hub. Don’t necessarily recommend it but I wanted an oem + look on the car.
@@GroupBEJ25 appreciate it! Keep up the great videos!
@@Marcos-ll5fs Thank you and I appreciate you for watching!
What percent tint is on your Lexus?
20% a little darker than I go for but needed something to block that bright interior.
Very clean facility, impressive 👏. Preventive maintenance is the key for a smooth summer.
Thank I appreciate it… and also thanks for watching.
In your opinion if you had to decide between buying a 2007 Lexus GS350 160k mileage for 3600(no problems) and a 2014 Hyundai Sonata Limited Sedan 130k mileage for 8900. Which would you choose? I’m currently trying to buy my first car
I need a car for new job that I’ll be driving 40 minutes to and back, 18 miles there and back. I wanted to give you more context
Thanks for the question to absolutely honest with you I would take the Lexus reason being it’s a Toyota the reliability is good. Unfortunately I never hear anything good about Hyundai/KIA. Only thing I believe the Hyundai might be regular gas but for the Lexus it’s a big tank and uses premium so it might be costly with the job you mentioned about it as far as travel is concerned.
@@GroupBEJ25Thank you, I am also leaning towards the Lexus
@@shaquai yes I don’t think you will be disappointed at all.
nice! I heard that going too low on AWD models run into wobbling issues. I think that height is perfect. what are the measurements front and rear?
I agree I have heard of that too and was scared it might happen to me but I wanted like a oem plus look not too low. So far no wobbling of vibrations. 1.5 drop front and 1 inch drop rear. The rear even on stock form seats low.
does anyone know good seat covers for 2nd generation gs 300?
The Evo looks cool
Indeed EVO power 💪🏽
Gorgeous car. You really take care of it.
Much appreciate it… I just like this older late 90’s to mid 2000 cars. Thanks for watching.
@GroupBEJ25 Me too. I'm gonna buy an 08 or 09 gs 350 soon. Found an 07 with 50k miles on it for 12k. Silver with black leather. It's gorgeous. Older Lexus' are my favorite. I'd love an 06 LS 430 too.
@@markmullen1852 nice all the best, Very low miles on the 07. On the LS I’ve always had my eyes on them too maybe one day.
Dog what kind of games you playing with your self because you are not fooling nobody😂😅😊 it's not a gs350 and now you change cars
Not sure what you talking about bro. The video starts of with my Subaru taking the lip to get painted. If you watch the whole video I get back in my Lexus. I also have more videos of my channel from the day I bought my Lexus. You jumped into conclusions.
@@GroupBEJ25 dog from what everybody seen it started in a different car
@@bobbyserchion yes I did my 07 Subaru if I was taking the lip to get painted, when the lip got finished I picked it up with the Lexus. This channels consists of 3 cars mainly the Lexus and Subaru and occasionally a 07 Toyota Corolla. If you watch the video the whole video I clearly drop off the lip with the Subaru that was on a Sunday when I normally drive the Subaru.
@@GroupBEJ25 OK OK I BELIEVE YOU YOU CAN GO NOW GREAT VIDEO DOG
@@bobbyserchion Thanks for watching!
Hello! I also have the same exact 2009 GS350 Black. I am going to try to get a black paint and fix some damage that i have in the rear.. Also do you have recommendations on an upholstery to repair the seats? My driver seat leather is in BAD shape! Love seeing a fellow GS driver in the DMV!
Yes how’s it going, thanks for watching the video. So there is a good place in Gaithersburg called Rankin Auto Upholstery, they are expensive but I have heard good reviews from them. For me I just went the cheap way and for the seat covers. Yes someone the scuffs/ scratches can be fixed with a spray can may not be 100% but better than leaving it that way. What part of DMV you in?
@@GroupBEJ25 Im located in Fairfax! I actually just ordered the black spray from the touch up shop so looking forward to trying it out. I have been thinking of updating the audio too because I really would like a bluetooth audio feature.
Same field- thanks!
Awesome thanks for watching.
Great video. I’m in the same field and love it. Make more videos like this.
Awesome glad you loving your career. Unfortunately I am in a building where there isn’t much to film anymore as the major PM are taken care of but I I will do my best to film when I can. Thanks for watching!
I’m picking one up on Monday it’s one owner and always been serviced in Lexus and has 170k miles for 6k would you think that’s a good deal? I need a reliable daily car
Hello thanks for watching. Congratulations 170k for 6k is fair enough and given it’s a one owner even better. You will enjoy thousands of more miles with that car. My goal is to reach 500 on mine I’m currently at 183 and still drives like new.
@@GroupBEJ25 thank you for knowledge because hopefully tommorow all goes well and the person really have all the records done at my lexus delearship here.
@@johnpullantes4013 anytime … how did it go?
@@GroupBEJ25bro I love it it drives like a dream and the person was kind of rich just needed space on the garage so it was garage parked the whole time so paint and everything is pretty much on point and also all the serviced was done on the delearship. Definitely love it. Thx again for your video for motivating me to get one
@@johnpullantes4013 that’s awesome to hear that. You definitely got yourself a great ride. All you have to do is maintain and she will run for a while!
Did you change the dash? Because obviously that's not a gs 350 dashboard.
Original dashboard 09 gs350
@@GroupBEJ25 my comment came quite early I got to see the gs later in the video
@@damidami5158 ohhh no worries.
I'm trying to buy a GS 300 for $6,000 do you think is worth it?
I think 6k is worth it how many miles?
@@GroupBEJ25 155k miles
@@FjoreloFero that’s not bad at all. I think it’s worth it. All the best!
nice car
Close off the outside air 100% to save money who cares about the CO2 levels. 😂
😂😂 I hear you… my last building I got away with it but current building chief engineer is fixed on having it ON unless low quality air levels outside.
You fix Tampon dispensers , hang pictures and paint the floors in the mechanical room and change light bulbs also is that correct?
So luckily we have several engineers. The apprentice will hang photos,tampons and paint as well. Mechanics perform PM of all the equipment and operators stay close to the BMS as well as scheduling contractors for major PM, creating engineer schedule, accrual bill back, invoices etc.
You don't have to replace the headlight just have them both cleaned and they will both look brand new
True.. I will actually do that this week. My last car they would get cleaned just to get bad in a year or so but we shall see.
A year is about average because they are exposed to oxidation on a daily basis there is no permanent solution at this time even brand new headlights will oxidize over time anyway 35 dollars a year is cheaper than 300-350 for something that will eventually do the same thing
@@MarcG7424 True I agree… I Might add a layer of clear coat this time around for a little bit of protection. Well good thing about new headlights will stay a few years at least before signs but still cheaper to clean the current ones.
@@GroupBEJ25 Mostvcleaners come with a clear coat in the package if you do it yourself or it's applied by the technician if you have them done at a shop
@@GroupBEJ25 Also some clear coats come in a separate package ( a separate step ) and some are already added to the finishing solution depending on the brand
Hey bro, I have the exact same car. I live in Fairfax, VA. Can you share what did you I use to lower the front end. And how has impacted ride quality. Since I’ve heard that you get vibrations when you lower and awd gs? Thanks,
Hey how’s it going you are not too far from me. So I have yet to experience any vibrations yet. That’s something that bad kept me off from lowering it before BUT my car is also not that low I only dropped it by 2 inches maybe that’s why it’s not vibrating not sure? I am also wondering the people that complaint about lowering if they actually buy the awd coilovers? My coils are TruHart coilovers.
Ok awesome! I’ll take a look at those coils. Same here I only want to drop it maybe 1.5 or maybe 2 inches. Does the hump from the front differential by the feet area bothers you while driving or you just got used to it?
@@HugoGonzalez-mg2hk yessir yep also I went with a 18inch could have done 19 but figured 18 is ok maybe that helped? Honestly just remembered there is a hump there I just ignore it I guess. But that was interesting how they designed that.
I know many don’t like this question but how much does your job pay? I’m a watch engineer in New York City and I supervise chillers and the whole refrigeration plant for my large hotel building here. My pay is 42 with no union but I know that most building pay the refrigeration systems operating engineers around 50$ an hour with great unions.
My bms system looks much smaller or maybe it’s that every thing is bunched up together. 3 chillers, 50 floors building
Could possibly be since it’s a newer building things are simplified perhaps? 50 story building that’s quit tall. What is the square footage?
Impressive work, I work as a building watch engineer but I never really touched our chillers, just on bms because our building is 3 years old with service contracts on. I’m surprised you don’t have an assistant or helper with you to do this type of big job. I would love to apprentice under you so I could learn. Great work!!
Thank you and yes your building being so new everything is still under warranty so you good right there. I am bad because I should seek help but I always find myself comfortable by myself BUT I don’t mind teaching.
I have a 2010 red. I did the same thing. Had the oem 17s. Found a guy selling aftermarket 18s from his car with brand new tires.
Nice.. yep I also went ahead went with coilovers, she is a little stiff on some bumps but handles really well.
I have just purchased GS460. Man it is a monster. Beautiful inside and outside. Just need to change the change the exhaust to unblock the sound of V8. Brilliant cars. The sound system is dope as well. Good luck with yours.
Nice great choice… I am sure you will have plenty of great time with it. Congrats!
Wow, Perfect Scoobie. You've modified that perfectly, Well done.
Thank you…much appreciate it!
I have a focus st, and when rev the engine the needle usually moves :/
That's ok. It's supposed to. The video is incorrect
@@briankihungi5293 thanks 😅
What needle, rpm needle? If that’s it yes. On my video I didn’t rev the car on idle. I just show idle and cruse speed in where the oil pressure is.
your impreza is gorgeous bro
I appreciate it.. hopefully change up the interior a little in the future, thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful car man
Much appreciate it and thanks for watching!!!
Great work 👍 ( tension ) was the word you were looking for.
Yes absolutely you hit right in the nail. Thanks and thanks for watching as well!!!
Looks good! I have adjustable upper camber arms for sale if you're interested. Your tires will wear out prematurely without proper camber adjustment.
Thanks I appreciate it. I actually bought them already now that I am just seen your message. I appreciate it though. Getting them installed next couple of months.
Please keep up the good work. A well done doing what you have passion in, as it makes a lot of difference even when work sucks some times.
