@tjyates08 Great purchase and beautiful ride! That is probably the most optioned out GS200t i've ever seen...they usually tend to be fairly bare bones so you got a rare bird for sure...although, its odd not to see the "GS 200t" badge on the rear...

I kinda want the GS200t badge on it. Pretty sure previous owner removed it.

Default Back to a Lexus

After a few years, I am back to being a lexus member. I had a 98 gs300 few years back. After that I’ve owned an 03 g35, 08 g35x, and 13 g37 coupe which I sold to purchase a 2013 silver gs350 f sport in which I couldn’t pass up on a deal especially with it only having 44k miles.

1. GS 350 F Sport
2. Black interior / Silver exterior
3. Nav
4. AWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS (unsure?)
6. Planned mods? - already have RSR super down (after a year I plan on bagging it), already have the jdm fog lights, which I plan on getting these installed this upcoming week. Future mods are mostly exterior such as lip, rear diffuser, side splitters maybe? and 20 inch wheels.
7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to? It replaced my 2013 G37x coupe, ipl conversion, vinyl wrapped blue and only suspension mods. Still have my 08 g35x as well.

Thumbs up GS 450h

Got a very low mileage 2013 GS 450h, 23k miles. Been loving it. On cruise control i hit 40 mpg av. The only thing that drives better than it in the sports + mode is my 2003 corolla with 23k miles fitted with Bilstein heavy duty B8 performance struts.




Heading from ABQ, NM to Los Gatos CA. Hit Snow at Flag Staff, AZ around 9pm, pulled over and slept in Flag Staff. Drove 10hrs back in morning




40MPG using Cruise Ctrl

You need to edit your posts. Delete the photos that show your home address on the navigation screen. Then you can post up new pictures that you've photoshopped to blur your personal information.

I'm a new member, so I don't know if uploaded pictures go into a gallery. Can someone else answer if timboki also needs to handle that?

Hello everyone!

Just joined the forum after having been stalking on it for sometime to get info on Lexus.

Just tell us some basics!

1. GS (Premium, Luxury, or F-sport) - GS350 EX
2. Color exterior/interior - White with Black interior
3. Nav or No Nav / Mark Levinson or No ML - Nav with non ML audio I think.
4. RWD or AWD - RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS - no DRS
6. Planned mods? - Getting it back into show room condition, window tints, tyres and maybe a louder exhaust
7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to? Anything that was low theft risk and super reliable, after research Lexus kept popping up and the test driving fun started. The GS just did it for me as it meets my sedan, space, petrol engine and power requirements.
Car this is replacing is a VW polo sedan(Stolen)

Great forum with lots of valuable info on here.

Cheers from Sunny South Africa!
P.S. Who buys a beautiful lexus and cant drive it because of covid-19 lock down. Its just sitting in my garage calling me!!!!

1. 2013 GS 350, bought used @ 66kmi
2. Silver exterior, black interior
3. Nav, no ML
4. AWD
5. No DRS (had no idea that was even an option!)
6. Nothing crazy. It’s a daily. Gloss black Enkei TS-Vs (18x8) wrapped in Continental PureContact A/S tires so far. Wheels were bought out of necessity as I recently found out the stock ones were bent. Looking to wrap the roof gloss black and maybe a subtle CF deck lid spoiler/lip so I don’t have to touch paint when I make sure it’s closed.
7. Looked at Mazda6, Infiniti Q50, Toyota 4Runner and VW Alltrack. Glad I found this one for such a good price.

First Lexus was a ‘91 LS400 so I guess you could say I’m a convert.

Just tell us some basics!
1. GS F-Sport
2. Atomic Silver/Black Interior
3. Nav w/ Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. no DRS
6. Don't know yet!
7. Replaced a 2018 4Runner Limited 4WD. Have a goal to purchase a house and wanted to lower my payment... so far no regrets! I love this car!
Wow that is super nice and better options than I have seen on any GS! I bought my 200t a few months ago and I love it, although mine is like a rental car compared to the options on yours! I installed a BMS JB4 tune and it now makes about 30 ft. lbs more torque than the V6 models at a much lower rpm. If it wasn't for the programmed lag down low, the 200t would be quicker than the 350s right out off the factory. My wife's NX200t jumps off line so I know its a programmed lag. With the tune, that evens it out with the V6 models and makes it more fun to drive.

Cool Just bought the GS350 2013 - Now what?

I just bought a 2013 GS350 f-sport and I LOVE IT! This has always been a dream car for me. Just wondering what to do to it first. Would like to upgrade wheels and tires. Is Powder Coat better than paint?


It still has the 20" after market wheels that were on when I bought it, but I'm having the stock wheels powder coated and putting on some new Goodyear Eagles.
