There are alot of clean GS's w/ 100k+ miles. If the one you're looking at has that many miles, the most important thing is service records. Make sure the 90k service has been completed (timing belt and water pump). Other than that w/ regular oil changes/service these things will run forever. Just be patient and GL w/ your search...

I just bought a 2000 GS4 w/ 120k miles about a month ago. I did a carfax check and the owner had receipts for all of the service work. These things run and drive better than most cars with less than 30-40k miles. They are rock solid! If you haven't test driven one yet, you'll be hooked after you do. Good luck with your search.

i found a 2000 GS4 w/ 102k for my brother. perfect body and only 1 single 1/2" scratch on the whole entire car. This older fella had records from the single dealership for every single 15k interval as well as all his oil changed and tires replacement and it's a CA car (no rust 
)
either way it's a solid car. 100k plus as long as there's records, it'll give you a piece of mind.

Looking at 2005 GS430 Blk/Blk. 53K miles for $26K. Mint condition, no dings, dents. Fully loaded ML/Nav 17", etc..., All dealer services. Not a CPO, but got clean bill of health from Lexus with 50K service recently. Fair price?
