You are definitely right on point about the Lexus GS series cars. I probably couldn't have said it better myself and that's why I do not have a channel... Lol. But as a GS owner enjoy your content brother! I understand trying to live your own life and having a channel too keep up.. But like I mentioned too Freshkicks a while back is that subscribers don't care if you're just washing your car they will watch a video. I've recently Subscribed seeing that you put your own work into repairing your own cars and I respect that as someone who does it also. So definitely keep up the Great Work and before you know it you'll have more followers than you can ever imagine! Peace and God Bless 🙏💯🌟🏁🏁🏁🏁
You said it's not as fast as it used to be. I've got a 2008 IS 350. I walnut blasted the valve chambers. It was a big two day event which I did myself. That helped. But the much easier and at least as effective treatment I have my car that made a huge difference in the power and torque at the lower end of the power band was using the oil carbon cleaner product that Scotty Kikmer has been putting in his videos. It's done at the time of the oil change. ATS CRO 505. I was kind of shocked at the before and after. 225k miles and it's running great again. Getting 4 more miles per gallon combined too. Love my Lexus. Would really like to get a GS.
I'm about to pick up a 2000 GS400 with 325,000 miles and I'm not even scared, in fact I'm excited. I can't wait to pick it up it is not an exaggeration that these cars are LEGENDARY; I couldn't afford one new in 1998 when I was 28 but getting one now is gonna make the world right and I can't wait for my GS400 to make me feel like I'm 28 again! FLEXUS!!!
Dope gs mannnn. I’m about to go check one out on Monday in dire need of a daily I remember my uncle had a gs400 as a daily when I was younger and I absolutely loved everything about the gs400. I’m just scared because I live in the Bay Area Oakland to be exact so a lot of these gs400 are dogged out and have the differential welded. The one I’m checking out looks pretty good and clean hopefully she checks out!
Once I was at a mcd's drivethough picking up a 10 piece in my 2004 cypress pearl green LS430. And the kid at the window was really digging the car and asking questions about it. I can tell he really liked it, it reminded me when i was his age doing/saying the same thing when id see cars I admired. Inspiring for sure to say the least.
My everyday driver for past 10 yrs. is my 1998 Lexus GS400, absolutely love this car, now has 223k miles, think I agree with everything you say. This car mainly has the power, very good looks, & great reliability.
Picked up a 2004 LS430 and I've done all the maintenance work myself, the car has been super reliable. The next item on the list is the suspension and wheels.
i HAVE A 2002 LS, me and a friend have done all the work on it including the timing belt. I have to say its the easiest car i've ever worked on. I absolutely love it!
I absolutely love the color of this car... SO good. And I have to thank you, your muffler delete video swayed me away from having a very expensive custom exhaust built. I deleted the mufflers and couldn't be happier with how it sounds.
These V8's are bullet Proof..your correct.. Make sure you do the Timing Belt every 90k and your Lower Ball joints..will last you over 300k easily!! Can't go wrong with a older GS, or LS
Definitely reliable and also one of my dream car growing up. I finally got a 1997 Toyota Aristo V300 with the 2JZ GTE feels like driving a 4 door Supra…
I love my gs too bro , I’ve had a lot of other cars but my gs ain’t never let me down.. my BMW broke down on me before my gs will and I had over 300k on the motor
Great vid. Recently started looking into getting a gs400/430. Preferably 430 to match with my cousin’s 430 lol. Anyways the gs v8’s check my boxes…luxury, comfort, reliability, power & sound. Super hard to find a clean low mileage one though.
Yea I wouldn't be too concerned about mileage as long as it's been well cared for. Low mileage examples are really rare and probably really overpriced.
@@AutoMatticMatt That’s true they’re hard to find in general currently. I wouldn’t mind a higher mileage one as long as it has good records and/or timing/ball joints done. Those were the 2 biggest things I had to look out for when I bought my is300 as well.
Great video man. What are your thoughts on gs300s vs gs400s? Mpg seems pretty average across the board but how about reliability? It's so hard to find a lower mileage clean gs400 here in California. They're all 200k+ with torn interiors or body damage.
Bro...I watched some of your older videos back when you first got it. You and some others were the reason I finally decided to get my gs400. I've never heard anything but good about em. It's definitely the best and my favorite car already. I've been wanting to start a channel about my car...but idek where to start.
It’s annoying being in the south east trying to get back into a gs430/400 all the ones for sale are either way overpriced, completely beat up and ragged out, or both. I see a lot of ragged out stance cars with excessive camber and 250-300k miles on the market for $8k. I have no issue getting one of these cars with high miles I know how they are but I’m not paying $8k for someone’s old stance car project that looks trashy and is high miles as well.
I have an 04 GS430...best purchase I ever made car wise. I've owned several Nissans 240s, z280s, Maximas and it's by far the most reliable of any I've owned.
I have a 2003 Lexus GS430 with 135,000 miles on it and I still love my baby. Owned it since 2005. If someone has an opportunity to grab one, I suggest you do it.
picked up a 99 gs300 as my first car about a week ago, cranks but doesn’t start so i got a fun engine rebuild coming up soon. love the way it looks so i cant wait to get it running!
I’ve been having my 99 Ls400 for 3 months now I love the motherfucker came with 158k got it for 4K now has 166k lol dented my door but will be fixed soon nothing beats a classic Lex
I have a 93 LS400, I would love to get a GS400 alongside my LS, but I am trying to find a fairly priced GS300 here in AZ right now, I have the 1UZ already, and while I wouldn't mind another UZ, I really want the JZ in a GS300.
My black on black 430 w/ gold badges gets so much love. I sometime forget it's 20 years old lol, people even tell me that the interior is super modern (I got nav and oem touch screen). Thanks for showin love to the platoform, not many get the V8
Best car I’ve had, I had a white gs400 and instantly regret selling so I got a black on black gs400 and I love it. Better than the 13 Audi A4 I totaled. The GS is more car for the money
Hold up the sun roof can go up like that tf?? I have owned my 98 gs400 for over a year and rebuilt it. Never knew that whatsoever. Learn something new everyday
Can you post a video of the tablet set up? I too have the Nak and even after 25 years sounds great. Currently using a FM modulator and last weekend dug up some old CDs and started to play. Shocked how great it sounded. So much better so I don’t want to rip it out to put a CarPlay set up in. Your tablet idea with Tape player may be the fix to get a bit of modern tech in a 25 year old car!
Excellent!! Definitely looking forward to it as it’s a great option. Great video BTW. Mine is a 98 GS400 that I owned back in the 2000’s, gave to a family member and just “inherited” it back 13 years later and 100k more miles! Still drives new but have a bunch of baseline maintenance to do. It’s a second car so I’m tinkering but honestly love driving it. It just goes!
@@cobra2top awesome bro! You take care of these cars they will take care of you! I hope my tablet solution doesn't upset. It does come with some disadvantages. I'm gonna clean it up some and get a video out on it soon.
Looking forward to it! Enjoying your videos on the GS, great content! Your video on the exhaust popped up in my search and I ended up subscribing. Good stuff!
This Lexus looks damn near around what my dream is for my gs430! Same type of grey paint with black rims, tint, blacked out taillights and headlights with lime green brake calipers, professional looking neon lights and lime green window decals for matching accent! That and the motor will be built🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯😬😬😬😬😬
Great video! I purchased an unmodified, stock, zero rust 1999 GS 400 in the middle of last year. The elderly original owner, who no longer drives, sold me a well-maintained gold-colored exterior with a tan interior example with 103,000 miles for $2,000. While it's not the color I would have chosen, considering what I paid and invested into it, I feel very fortunate to own this vehicle. I love this car! I've had to undertake some maintenance tasks, including replacing the timing belt, water pump, and serpentine belt and changing every fluid and filter. Additionally, I replaced both exterior rearview mirrors and performed preventive maintenance by changing the thermostat. The driving experience is nothing short of amazing. I agree that it is an excellent cruiser for long highway trips. My friends, who drive much newer cars, often praise its smooth ride and quietness. Thanks to your video and Car Care Nut, I successfully changed the timing belt, and my total investment in this car is now around $3,000. Perhaps in the future, you could consider installing a front/rear dash camera with a rearview camera, allowing us to DIY that project. I've purchased new Moog lower ball joints and will install them soon. Keep the videos coming!
Just got my 2000 with 225K!! She needs some parts but overall I'm more than happy with what I got. 3K and it came lowered, tanabe straight pipe, and wired up for subs soo I can't complain too much! Just need to give the 1 UZ some love!
New sub here always love Gs 300 and 400 keep up the good work bro God Bless. Keep inspiring people, you never know who is watching you but may not always say anything!
Great video man you hit all your points on why our 2GS are still on the road its quality and performance all in one package. Ive owned 2 2GS a 98, and now an 03 SportDesign these vehicle's are great cars to own and are also very easy to maintain for your everyday car enthusiast.
bro, i love the color on your gs400. I've been trying to learn more about this car model since i had one and was about to put it up for sale, cause i hadn't driven it in ages, only has 120k miles. needs new paint job and some work to fix the ac but it runs smooth, i am making it my mission to make it new again.
I have a hate/love with my 2001 Lexus GS300. I bough it modded with a bunch of serialnine suspension parts from my friend and it still has low miles 179k miles. I am the 3rd owner. As much as I want to sell it, I still haven’t really got to enjoy it and build it my way since it still looks the same as my friend sold it to me. Only did audio & switched out the old coil overs for new ones. Hopefully I can get it running & build it the way I want it so then I can actually enjoy it & drive it daily.
*Where a GS any model beats today's normal cars like Kias, Nissan, etc in that power range is TORQUE. When your car HP matches TORQUE that's a good balance of pulling away quick from the line*
I’m considering the Gs or the Es from 2002 to 2006. I like both designs , not really into speed as im retired older male but I’m more into comfort. I value reliability as well. My thoughts are I like the deign better of the Gs but feel the Es has comfort and responsibility a bit over the Gs. Any thoughts as to am I wrong . I do prefer the Gs , is it just as reliable? I do think my chances of getting a better condition Es that has been babied by older person is higher.
I'm barley realizing how lucky I am that my sister's client was selling this car and I got it for $900 with a brand new transmission and I've only put about 1k into it and it's running great. Definetly needs new paint but I haven't even put the amount it's worth into it yet🤑🤑 this is a great video
hey man i have the same car i was wondering how many miles to the tank do you get? thanks for the info about your car, my front suspension is shot and ball joints are done for. also creeking in my power steering rack . thanks for your time
Thanks for the info man. I really do appreciate it. I have a Lexus GS300 and I knew about most of the problems but I did not know about the actuators on the doors. You been a big help bro. Thank you
You should definitely do it!! I have a 98 GS400 with 83k miles and a 06 gx470. They’re going to be the last cars I own, they’re so good and as long as you can work on them yourself…you’ll be straight.
I just bought two of them. This car is a dying breed. I love this car its solid and loves to drive. I bought mine to drive all over the country and put a ton of miles on it.
Messaged you a week or so ago and I got no reply/don’t even know if you got the message/comment. I found a 98 gs400 w a supercharger and I was debating on getting it or a 2013 gs350. I couldn’t decide between the 2 and I asked you your opinion. Now the supercharged 400 is sold and I’m really regretting not getting it. It was super clean w lots of maintenance and mods and he sold it for cheap. I’m low key cryin over here
My bad man. Where did you message me? I usually try to stay away from cars that have been heavily modified by the previous owner anyway. It's extremely hard to trust people these days. If you want a supercharged gs400 find a decent un modified one and do it your way. Might be a reason it was sold for cheap 🤷🏿♂️.
@@AutoMatticMatt thanks for the reply., and I messaged you on one of your videos. They may have taken it down becasue I included links of the cars. When I says cheap he sold it for 7200 and was originally asking 10. The car was CLEEEESAANN man
@@AutoMatticMatt well I got in touch w the person that bought the car and I may be buying it from him. He’s a young kid/dissapointed that the car doesn’t have the hellcat whine lol

I've purchased new Moog lower ball joints and will install them soon. Keep the videos coming!
LONG LIVE THE GS!!
Just got my 2000 with 225K!! She needs some parts but overall I'm more than happy with what I got. 3K and it came lowered, tanabe straight pipe, and wired up for subs soo I can't complain too much! Just need to give the 1 UZ some love!
New sub here always love Gs 300 and 400 keep up the good work bro God Bless. Keep inspiring people, you never know who is watching you but may not always say anything!

I’ve owned a 99 gs400 and I still own a 05 gs300…. they really are great cars!!
Great video man you hit all your points on why our 2GS are still on the road its quality and performance all in one package. Ive owned 2 2GS a 98, and now an 03 SportDesign these vehicle's are great cars to own and are also very easy to maintain for your everyday car enthusiast.
💯💯
bro, i love the color on your gs400. I've been trying to learn more about this car model since i had one and was about to put it up for sale, cause i hadn't driven it in ages, only has 120k miles. needs new paint job and some work to fix the ac but it runs smooth, i am making it my mission to make it new again.
You won't regret it with these cars man. They are really rewarding to work on.
I got my 1999 for $1000 only needed the brake booster
I have a hate/love with my 2001 Lexus GS300. I bough it modded with a bunch of serialnine suspension parts from my friend and it still has low miles 179k miles. I am the 3rd owner. As much as I want to sell it, I still haven’t really got to enjoy it and build it my way since it still looks the same as my friend sold it to me. Only did audio & switched out the old coil overs for new ones. Hopefully I can get it running & build it the way I want it so then I can actually enjoy it & drive it daily.
I had a 01 gs300. I sold it. I just wanted more power and then gte engine prices got out of control! So I got a gs400 instead
*Where a GS any model beats today's normal cars like Kias, Nissan, etc in that power range is TORQUE. When your car HP matches TORQUE that's a good balance of pulling away quick from the line*
Factual
I’m considering the Gs or the Es from 2002 to 2006. I like both designs , not really into speed as im retired older male but I’m more into comfort. I value reliability as well. My thoughts are I like the deign better of the Gs but feel the Es has comfort and responsibility a bit over the Gs. Any thoughts as to am I wrong . I do prefer the Gs , is it just as reliable? I do think my chances of getting a better condition Es that has been babied by older person is higher.
Go for the GS300 98/2005
I'm barley realizing how lucky I am that my sister's client was selling this car and I got it for $900 with a brand new transmission and I've only put about 1k into it and it's running great. Definetly needs new paint but I haven't even put the amount it's worth into it yet🤑🤑 this is a great video
That's a steal! You can't go wrong at that price! My first GS I paid $900 dollars for. But it was a GS300 and needed a ton of work.
Where the hell you live?!?? I wish I got 10 gallons for $41… and I own a 300🤦🏾♂️😭
Middle Tennessee!!
hey man i have the same car i was wondering how many miles to the tank do you get? thanks for the info about your car, my front suspension is shot and ball joints are done for. also creeking in my power steering rack . thanks for your time
Maybe like 16 mpg. I've never actually monitored it. I will say it's much better on the highway
Is it expensive to fix the transmission??
Good car , mi car is Lexus GS 300 03

Nice car 👍 just subscribed
what size are your rims?
Thanks for the info man. I really do appreciate it. I have a Lexus GS300 and I knew about most of the problems but I did not know about the actuators on the doors. You been a big help bro. Thank you
Much Love bro!
I also have a 2004 Lexus Is300 lol
I'm considering a GS to go with my gx470. Everything you said about maintenance for the GS applies to the GX. Good content.
It does! Except Idk if lower ball joints on the GX are as big of a concern as it is on the GS.
@@AutoMatticMatt Trade the ball joints for front wheel bearings. Lol
You should definitely do it!! I have a 98 GS400 with 83k miles and a 06 gx470. They’re going to be the last cars I own, they’re so good and as long as you can work on them yourself…you’ll be straight.
Bruh you GS is your canvas piece and publicly ppl gone see that
I appreciate the love bro 💯
I have a 98 gs300, i wanted the gs400 but my boii talked me into the 300, but the v8 still callin my name 😮💨😮💨, i hella want both asap lol
I had a 01 gs300. Sold it. Realized I'd proby never actually GTE swap it. The stock NA 2J just wasn't doing it for me. I loved the car though.
@@AutoMatticMatt yeah bro thats kind of how Im feeling, love the 2j but my gs is going to be stock for a while
I just bought two of them. This car is a dying breed. I love this car its solid and loves to drive. I bought mine to drive all over the country and put a ton of miles on it.
No they are not!!! The flood gates for the Aristo ( the 2Jzgte ) coming from Japan just started this year.
Bout to pick one up tomorrow
Dang where u from where u can get 93 gas for that cheap?
Tennessee Bro!
My Lexus gs400 is the best car I’ve ever had
Love it!
I look forward to getting one of these. I like the grey and wheeL combo on yours, looks dope!
Thanks bro!!
Messaged you a week or so ago and I got no reply/don’t even know if you got the message/comment. I found a 98 gs400 w a supercharger and I was debating on getting it or a 2013 gs350. I couldn’t decide between the 2 and I asked you your opinion. Now the supercharged 400 is sold and I’m really regretting not getting it. It was super clean w lots of maintenance and mods and he sold it for cheap. I’m low key cryin over here
My bad man. Where did you message me? I usually try to stay away from cars that have been heavily modified by the previous owner anyway. It's extremely hard to trust people these days. If you want a supercharged gs400 find a decent un modified one and do it your way. Might be a reason it was sold for cheap 🤷🏿♂️.
@@AutoMatticMatt thanks for the reply., and I messaged you on one of your videos. They may have taken it down becasue I included links of the cars. When I says cheap he sold it for 7200 and was originally asking 10. The car was CLEEEESAANN man
@@AutoMatticMatt well I got in touch w the person that bought the car and I may be buying it from him. He’s a young kid/dissapointed that the car doesn’t have the hellcat whine lol
@@Itsleethe1upload a video when you get it
Hella clean
Where did you get your headlights
They came with the car. Stocks I believe.
What wheels are those
Kansei Tandems Bro!
