LOVE This Car!!!! - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By Brian - August 22 - 6:46 amThis is by far the best automobile Ive purchased. Extremely reliable and has 115k miles on it... only minor standard maintenance required. Engine performance is very good, firm acceleration, but a few more horses under the hood, I wouldnt turn down. The car is almost 10 years old and the only thing that has needed fixing (above regular minor maintenance) is the rear drivers-side electric door-lock motor. $375 to fix, but was getting very annoying because it was affecting the car alarm when using the keyless entry. Overall; I rate this car an easy 9 outta 10. LOVE IT !!!

BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!! - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By clublexusgs300 - January 27 - 11:37 pmi bought this car a year ago with 150k on it. i did a royal purple synthetic oil change along with royal purple trans fluid. This CAR IS AMAZING. The 3.0 v6 will get up pretty quick if you have it switched to the power mode. The car is extremely comfortable with plenty of space to put stuff. For as big and roomy as the car is you wouldnt know while driving, it feels like a fun little sports car, and the shift in the transmission is almost not even noticeable. i now have almost 200k and it looks and feels like it has under 100kI put someHID headlights& led tail lights and put some nice wheels and tires on it and it turns heads. This is the best car that i have ever owned.

Best Car Ever - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By bill - October 24 - 4:36 amIm a salesmanager and travel extensively. I trade cars every 2 years until now. My GS is the finest most trouble-free vehicle Ive ever owned. And my Lexus dealer is more than terrific. Comfort, handling, looks, are all top notch. The ONLY complaints would be lack of steering wheel controls for sound system and the requirement of premium fuel for a car with modest (200) horespower. A more accurate quote would be,"Lexus, there really isnt any substitute"

Great ownership experience - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By Lexus owner Jim - August 3 - 10:00 amThis car was great. Very comfortable ride and most important to me, NO HASSLES! During 4 years of ownership, I had no mechanical or other problems. I just changed the oil and filled up the gas tank.

Like-a-Rock - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By RedBaron - September 30 - 5:10 pmPrevious sedan was Jaguar xj-40. This GS 300 is much better, more reliable, and far fewer maintenance issues. Running 17" wheels w/Toyo Proxes. May go to 18" wheels next. Yes, could use more back-seat legroom. Off like a shot with a tap of the accelerator. Corners great and tracks steady. Have 130,000 miles and still get 26-28 highway mpg. Will buy a GS 350 next. Gotta love em.

Bought 2000 GS in 2010! - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By boinz - September 7 - 8:30 pmI have never bought a 10 year old car before. But it was roomy for my 63" frame and 275 lbs! I found a 1 owner Car Fax certified model with 94,000 miles. Beside routine maintenance, I had work down on memory front seat and upper and lower control arms in the front. I have not regretted buying it.

GS 300 Platinum - 2000 Lexus GS 300
By DanO - June 14 - 3:53 amDrives smooth and like its on a rail. Low and wide and stable - it looks lowered, but its not. Pearl color is beautiful. Moonroof is real quiet when open, whereas the Acura RL we tested was noisy. Leather is real soft and comfy, even tho I was not a leather guy when buying. The sound system is the best I have ever heard in an uncustomized setup. WOW! My wife had to have this car, and now Im glad we got it. Trouble free, quiet, dependable, sporty and luxury.
