  GS300 in Georgia - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By Paige - September 12 - 10:00 am

  The GS300 caught my attention due to Lexus reputation for perfection plus this car has a sporty element to the styling and handling. My only major dislike about the car is the method the climate control system uses in the winter to establish the cabin temperature that results in blowing cold air on the driver. This is by design and unfixable by the dealer. It makes driving in the 30 degree temps sometimes frustrating if you do not like cold air in the winter even in the manual mode setting.

  Wishing Id Never Purchased It - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By Dissatisfied - September 15 - 8:10 am

  I purchased this car and, prior to close, had to force them to give me new tires as my "certified" vehicle tires were badly worn. Nicks, chips, in excess of what one would expect for a car with 22k miles. Within a few months, the radio numbers were barely visible. Minor repairs still covered by warranty were required. Now at $83K, I would have spent $5K fixing items but for the fact that I deferred a $1400 service that would be a "nice to have" and the dealer will pay for the labor on a power steering column I have to replace after doing a $2700 service two weeks ago. I should have kept ES300; 208K miles without the problems Im having here at 82K. Terrible snow handling.

  My GS300 - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By Yellow Rock - December 23 - 10:00 am

  Great luxury car for the money. I work at a Mercedes Benz dealer and knows the comparisons between the GS and E-class. I purchased the Lexus because its comfort, value and reliability. And with my time and schedule, I dont have time to return to the dealer to have it worked on every month (even though I work at one). By far, the Lexus is a great buy. Very luxurious.

  Great Car - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By R. H. Jackson - November 13 - 3:20 pm

  I purchased this car new and have been very pleased. The Homelink malfunctioned during the warranty period and was replaced. The only other problem was the radio display which was replaced recently when the car was nine years old. The car runs and drives like new. It is by far the best car I have ever owned.

  I love my car! - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By Dj - September 29 - 10:46 am

  This is my second car and I love it. I have changed very little things to it such as 3 tvs and the IS 19 inch chrome rims. I also have a spoiler on it. The car has a quiet ride and has a very smooth ride also.

  Ive had problems - 2000 Lexus GS 300
  By kolo - February 11 - 10:00 am

  The GS300 is not the best-but good. For the price I expected more luxury.. treated well at the dealer is nice. I have ongoing problems with my 1 touch pwr driver wind closing half way,a noisy sunroof visor(closed), the LCD display on the AM/FM/CD comes in only half way(a 5 looks like a 0) I am told these are common. Annoying for what I paid! 33K used Driven several times from Seattle to the Bay&LA and have 82K miles. The struts/rods need to be replaced @ $800 and the belt is wearing out prematurly. TheLexus is a solid car, but has not been trouble free for me. -concider the newer GS 01 and above Gas milage and premium gas runs me $39.00 every 5-6 day
