Hello all. Picked up a 2017 GS 350 Base w/Luxury Package a couple of months back. Had 56k on the ODO. Now has 60k and just dropped it off for an oil & filter change as well as an ATF flush. Color is Atomic Silver w/Chateau Leather interior. Really enjoying it. I haven't been in a sedan in quite a few years. At least not as a DD. I have been mainly a truck guy for a while now, mostly HD trucks.

I shopped for a while before deciding on this trim line. My goal was to find a GS that I can keep for its life and for it to be the least problematic. The GS-F is nice, but I currently have a Challenger RT SPWB to play with. I was interested in an F-Sport for a bit, but the Base with the Luxury package has everything I need and wanted. I can ride in comfort and still kick the rear end out when I want a spirited ride home from work. Part of my goal, as well, in buying a GS was to find one that would give me the lowest cost of maintenance.

Like I mentioned, really enjoying it and looking forward to finding out more about it on this forum.

Pics to come...

Welcome and Congrats. Luxury Package is the best GS if you ask me. I would have not done a Flush on the Trans if were me. Drain and fill. Everyone has their own thoughts, just mentioning mine from years of Lexus Ownership. BTW: I just picked up a 15 Durango R/T 5.7 Hemi, I have mod plans for.

Default 2014 gs350


1. GS Luxury
2. White exterior/Black leather interior
3. Nav and not sure about ML
4. RWD
5. Not too sure about DRS - how can I find it?
6 Ceramic coat, installing 2 channel cameras during my drives as well when I'm parked in retail areas (one in the front and one in the back). I was looking at the Blackvue 750x. Wind guard/deflector - should I get OEM? Any other recommendations?
7. Replaced my 2011 Honda Accord Coupe


Thought it was too good to be true but after almost a month of car shopping, I was able to find one!

2014 white GS350 Luxury RWD Luxury trim. The kicker, pristine condition (only parked in the garage) and only 19.6k miles on it. The person that sold it hardly drove since they had a truck for their daily. I guess this was considered their weekend car. Purchased it at 16k miles and sold at 19.6k and has tints.

Still learning and reading the owner's manual and I was wondering if any other 2014 owners have other tips/recommendations. Going to do my best to keep it in great condition.
Does anyone here put on a car cover every night? I purchased one and trying to make it a habit since I don't have garage space but I am parking it on the driveway but will still be uncovered.

Talking 🤭2014 Lexus GS 350🤯

1. GS 350 (Luxury)
2. Meteor Blue Metallic/Flaxen interior
3. Nav / No ML
4. RWD
5. no DRS
6. Planning to fit the car with Michelin Primacy MXM4s, maybe eventually a supercharger install.
7. I was really considering anything with a decent amount of power and reliability. This obviously fit the bill perfectly, but I was also looking at the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series. The BMW had too many reliability issues, though I thought the driving experience was excellent, the Audi's driving experience was anything but excellent. The GS 350 impressed me a lot, not as performance oriented as the 5 Series, but had a much more refined feeling powertrain, not to mention the massive difference in materials quality, especially after 10 years on the road, Lexus truly is in a league of its own when it comes to this price range. This car was imported from Japan, and seems to have been specifically optioned to someone's preferences as opposed to most GS models I've seen, interesting combination of options. Strange that the vehicle has privacy shades all around the rear, but no sunroof lol. This replaces a BMW 330i for me, and I think that car's dynamics were unmatched, however, it never felt even half as luxurious and accommodating as this. Fantastic car, 55,000 miles and still feels like a brand new powertrain.


😍

@lulureborn congrats and super rare luxury package equipped GS without a sunroof! That might be the first GS i've seen on the forum without a sunroof. Nonetheless, great choice & enjoy!

Default New 2016 GS 350 Owner


Hey all, new to the GS line but not the brand or the forum. This 2016 GS 350 AWD luxury package is my 4th Lexus, I’ve owned an LS400, LS430 and this replaced my 2012 IS 350. Im looking forward to getting to know this car more. Plans for it are drop and exhaust in the summer and most likely some new shoes. Thanks all!

Hi, I picked up a 2015 GS 350 with 187k miles for $13k. It drives like a new car. Interior, engine and transmission are mint. Base model. The exterior has minor issues, but you really have to look closely to catch the imperfections. I've spent about $1k in spark plugs, oil change, filter changes, wiper blades to give it some good maintenance that it needed. I don't mind since I'm a DIY guy. I really like this car!

7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace? I considered the ES350, but did not like the feel. I am replacing a GS 350, 2015 with major darting/steering issues. Also starting hearing a roaring sound underneath. May have been bearings or differentials. No sure.
