Hey everyone -- it's been a while since I've been back here I'm in the market for an '06 GS300 and was wondering if there's anything I should look for when finding the right car. Are there any issues or anything worth mentioning?

Thanks!

Looking to upgrade Brendan?
The main complaints so far are dusty brake pads and dash squeeks. Both can be corrected by the dealer.

Hey KayGee! Yeah, my car's in the 170k range and I think it's about time for me to upgrade. Also, I'm moving to Atlanta next month btw.

Actually the 06 gs300 did not have any brake pad issues. Squeaks, fuel line recall on some early cars and that is about it...go for an 07 gs350 if you can afford it...

brendan, haven't seen you in years....

i would highly suggest you get or wait to get the gs350. it's worth a lot more for the money imho

Yeah, unless ther current GS is having issues & needs to be replaced quick, I agree getting or waiting a little longer to get a GS350 is a better idea.

brendanlim

Well, I guess all of you have pretty much convinced me to fork up the extra money for a 350

Yeah 350 is the way to go. I test drove a used 300 and a 08 350, quite a diff.

So, now I must ask -- is there anything that I should look for when going for an '07 350?

The G Man

Rattles, starting problem and brake dust. All fixable problems.

I was in the same dilema a month ago but went with the GS300 cause of the price and fuel economy. I got a 26k mile Silver/Black GS300 with Navi/ML with extended 100k/7yr warrenty for $33k. GS350 runs for 38 to 40k depending on options. Granted I will miss the power and upgraded Navi but with my daily traffic commute I wont notice the difference! Hope that helps....

btw, no mp3 freakin sucks!

Hello VAIS =)

brendanlim

The MP3 feature isn't much of a factor for me since I'll most likely go the VAIS route as well. Although, If I can't find a 350 for around 36k, then I'll have to go for the 300. Decisions, decisions...
