I replaced my GS with a Porsche Macan. It's been great so far but definitely get one under warranty should anything expensive fail.

They doesnt make them anymore, 1st of all and i cant agree with you,
mine was not that reliable or rust proof.

i really dont like Suvs,
so i will probably choose either ls/ es or is or i dont know... may be a coupe ?
or gs f
or other brand ,but i really like LEXUS cars now.
All germans are very expensive to maintain here.

I were looking for a replacement too but it is impossible to get a comparable RWD 4 door sedan with reasonable wheel base like 4GS.
I test drove Stringer and G80 Sport, both of them didn't have the feel I like, the power was good but they kinda long and not enough for me to making a new payment.

CT4 Black Wing check all the box for me but long waiting list or mark up, no hurry, I will wait for another year or two.

i always think kia and genesis, and hyindai, are not in the same level of quality in the long term compared to Lexus.

How come no one else here have the same problems as you?

Besides, didn’t you say on one else in the country wants to buy your car? If so, how are you going to fund the next car?

Don't their trailers at least last a while?

The bank is not going to lend you a loan which you can’t service.

Love the GS but I've been looking to move to a G30 540i for some time now. Main reasons are more tech (specifically with driver assistance) and the B58/ZF8 combo for more power and still good reliability, and better gas mileage

If you sold it that actually was the answer to every GS question you posted here about your problem GS.

Sale is not confirmed, until the end of this week.
its pending...
i really loved that car.... too bad that they rust a lot...
is 3rd gen gs same rusty bucket like 4th generation , i am considering currently many options from Lexus it can be GS 3rd gen or ls 3rd gen or even 4 gen LS,
its hard to decide so i need to rely on you guys.... i am also considering 1st and 2nd generation LS.

You already have one Lexus (which we all know by now isn't common in your country, as you say) so why would you get another one? Sure you can like it, but is it realistic to own and maintain with your village mechanic not having any knowledge of Lexus and very little time?

Instead of relying on CL to help guide you through a purchase and repairs, why not consider a car that is common in your country and a car your mechanic is familiar with?
