Anyone have any experience?

I thought it was over 300k, but yeah, it was a very high number.

This car will have around 60-80k.

Would anyone here actually get the GS300 over the GS400?

would you get a V6 mustang over a mustang GT?

 

[Aimster]

Budget is no more than $20,000

* GS300 with Navigation
* GS400 no Navigation

Which one?

navigation's overrated

Agreed. You can add GPS later if you need it.

How is the reliability?

Better than similar priced German Automobil.

I think Lexus is the only Japanese car still completely made in Japan. You shouldn't have any problems with it at all. If they can build this engine then they shouldn't have any problems with your Lexus V8. (yeah, it's a repost, i know)

THE RX is made in Canada I think. All Infinitis are made in Japan IIRC

um, did the same people that worked on that engine work for Lexus? ok.

Lexus is one of the most reliable brands on the market. That and Infinity. They have the #1 and #2 spots in reliability within 5 years and reliability past 5 years (forgot which is #1 for which one . . . they trade spots)

I got a 2001 GS300 with 54k....so far no problems...

Lexus GS400 reliable yes. Fun to drive no. Nevertheless, it's a very comfortable ride.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Very reliable, quiet, smooth ride, and you'll enjoy it 🙂

Get without navigation IMO, just more electronics waiting to break!
