Default Upgraded in the GS world!

Just sold my 2GS300 with 226k, still looked and drove like new, and upgraded to a 3GS460, I was lucky enough to come across one in black on black in mint condition and couldn't pass it up, it's a very rare car as far as Lexus' are concerned. I've appreciated all the help from everyone since I joined 3 years ago.

I love the way that 460 performs, not a fan of the 3GS but if I had to choose it would definitely be a 460! Nice pick up

Definitely not enough 460's to go around. I looked for one briefly too and could only find a few. The g-spiders are a nice touch too.

You made the right choice going with the 460!

Mines an 08 so the most common, still very rare, also I've heard this is the most reliable 3GS, it's extremely smooth to drive. Just a much more modern car all around, the nav/backup camera, cooled seats, folding mirrors that tilt down when backing up, sunshade, even little things like illuminated door sills, and the mirrors have puddle lights that light up when you get close to the car, not having a key and just being able to touch the door handle to lock/unlock. Really there's not much more a brand new Lexus would have, the first thing I did was get the spark plugs and brake fluid changed and was given a 2015 IS250 as a loaner and it honestly felt like a downgrade. I heard bad things about the 350 and 300 having oil burning issues, so hopefully this lasts me as long as my old gs.
