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.

Did I love this car? You betcha!

Awesome GS - very rare color.


This was my 05 GS300 - to me it still looks amazing and better than almost every other sport sedan sold currently 👍🤷‍♂️

Thanks, I think the official color is Dark Mountain Cherry

And I remember your GS in the GS forums.

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 At this point, the car is outdated, but I love it so much that I just don't care.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.

The ads for the GS400 lived in my teenage head for years.

Motorola is online now
