Great design, and certainly one to hold on to as a future classic. But felt terrible he beated on it. It should be treated with respect, restrain, and preservation.
How did he beat on it? I watched the videos and didn't see any examples of him beating on it.
I sold my 2001 Lexus GS430, that I bought in 2004 with 30,000 miles coming off a lease...I sold it with 330,000 miles to a local Lexus enthusiast back in like 2020 (he already had an older manual SC300). He's still driving it today.
I have always loved the GS. Every single generation of it. I am sad I missed out on the earlier generations. I leased cars for years, because I get bored with a car after 2-3 years. I've been in a 4th gen GS since 2015, if that tells you anything. My 15 was a lease, and it was the first time I ever didn't want to give a car up at the end of a lease, so I set out to buy it but the terms were awful, so I purchased (not a lease) a 2019 GS, which I later determined to be the wrong color for me, so I traded that in and bought one of the very last 2020 GSs available and plan to keep it indefinitely. Nearly 9 years into GS ownership, and I could not imagine buying something else. At this point, the car is outdated, but I love it so much that I just don't care.
My 2001. Loved it, wish I hadn't sold it. Truck ran in to the back at like 15 mph. Sold it and the new owner fixed it and 2jz get swapped it. Wanted it back after that lol.
