Default whether or not to buy a GS

I have an SC now and i do like it but i'm starting to look at a GS. i like the GS but i wanted some GS owners opinions on if i should get one or not. i know its all on personal opinion but are they pretty solid cars? and whats the highest mileage i should settle with? thanks

great cars, comfy, try to get gs400/430 for the power, mpg about the same as the 300. personally no more than 150k, and for me, black interior is a must. my 2 pesos. GL!

coming from an ex SC3 owner. i love the gs more than the SC. Roomy and Comfy. The GS has potential if you do it right. I love my GS but im debating if i should sell my GS300 to get a GS400 for the power. Stick with a 400 of 430 if you do plan to get a GS.

I bought my gs400 with 160k miles drives smooth as my old gs300 with 90k miles. I would say it boils down to how the previous owner took care of the car.
