Obviously the difference between an inline 6 and an 8 cylinder is night and day lol you can't say the GS300 is sluggish compared to the 8 cylinder thats just not fair. The car is not sluggish so people should stop using that term. Test drive it....hit the highway....gun it at around 50 miles per hour. Then come back and tell me its sluggish. The car moves just fine.

On its own, it's adequate. To a GS400/430, it's...ehh. OP should test drive both.

After looking at 5 of these, I settled on a a silver/black one that is different from the original one posted. It has 160k on the clock, clean carfax, 3 owner. It is the cleanest out of the bunch. I would rate it as a 8/10 with a couple minor cosmetic things that a little elbow grease will cure. I paid $5000. I go to pick it up Thursday night after work. Thanks for all the insights and looking forward to being an active member!
