Now that GS got discontinued, how easy is it to get parts?
I am interested in buying a 2018-2020 model year of GS350 F Sports. I am curious how easy or hard it is to get car parts for replacement. Do they continue to be produced?

Yeah, especially a Toyota. They're the best when it comes to ordering parts.

You can still get parts for 20+ year old Toyotas. I wouldn't worry about mechanical things however it's trim and other miscellaneous items that might be hard to find after 10 years.

Toyota still makes parts for the old MKIV Supra I think.

I wouldn't worry about parts so much. The car had a fairly long production run with most updates being cosmetic and other updates shared across different models. If you were talking about Volvo, Jaguar or some brand like that I would be worried but Toyota shares a lot of parts across all models.

With the IS500 F Sport coming out, and Toyota still making the RC/IS350 F-sport, I think a very very long time. Both of those cars use parts that are found on our cars, especially the front end suspension.

Interesting topic. I was curious about this also.

They'll provide good support for quite some time before the only choice is picking through the junk yard for spare parts. Plus, as mentioned above, they share a lot of mechanical bits with other cars. Heck, all three of my vehicles basically have the same engine (2GR-FKS in the GS and Tacoma, and 2GR-FXS in the Highlander, which is the Atkinson cycle version of the FKS).

Depends on which GS300 were are looking at. If the 3rd gen, yes it shares a lot of parts with the IS\GS350. The 1st and 2nd gen GS shares a lot of parts with the Supra, SC, Crown and possibly the Cressida.
