Today i realize i was going to break the 100K marker on my GS4. I feel bad because, i've had the car going on 2 years, and i doubled the mileage. i bought it with 46K and in 2 years, i've averaged 32K a year. Now, traveling an hour and a half from one end of the state to the next 3 times a week, this may not be bad, but i feel like i should retire my gs now that i've broken that mile marker! For some reason, it really does make me feel horrible. Maybe i love my car too much....Nah! that can't be it! lol.

I totaly understand... I'm dreading the day i hit 100k miles. Its not that i think my car wont hold up. But its just the thought.

Have you kept up on you're maintainence? Had any problems?

 

I am due for my 90K service, and as you can see, i missed it by 10k miles, but no, i haven't had a single problem with my car yet, except i can't stop modding it. This damn bug won't go away! lol. But seriously, i haven't had a single problem yet with my car.

Do you know any cheap places to order a Timing belt? Have you checked urs?

 

If your going to have your timing belt changed, i would actually order it through a Toyota Dealership, because it will be cheaper that way. I don't know any cheap place to get it checked. I live by a Lexus Dealership (within 10 min.) so i could just take a rid up and ask. Don't know why my 90k service isn't done yet!

No prob man. Thanks.

 

When I had my GS4, I retired it at 156,xxx miles and still ran like new.. I abused the living hell out of it.. Now my bro-in-law has around 189,xxx and still running like new.

 

D-man,

i don't really think it's about the running issue for me. I know, if taken care of, it will last almost forever! I just think it was approaching that 100k marker, that got me....the whole triple digit thing!

John

 

yeah man, I know exactly how you feel... Its the mentality that you drive a 100k+. Just be glad to know that the 2nd gen GS wont go outta style anytime soon and its more reliable (in most cases) than a MB or BMW.

 

Try our forum sponsors L-tunedparts.com and Lexus-parts.com for items like these too. If you don't see them on their websites, they have toll free numbers.

 

Call Carson Toyota...(L-Tunedparts.com) I purchased everything for my tuneup through Steve and I had my mechanic install everythign on my GS300....I saved a ton of money!!!!

Jeez, I have 14,000 miles on the car and I thought that was REALLY bad.....

 

I bought mine with 38K and have put over 12K miles on it ina little over 3 months. Oh well. That is what a car is for right?

 

Thats because you're car is in t he shop more than on the road

 

heh heh, that's what I was gonna say. To me, it's a general rule of thumb to replace the timing belt and water pump on pretty much ANY vehicle at 100K.
