I love my car!!

My 98 Lexus GS300 is the best car i have ever owned. For being a over 25 years old with over 210000 miles it still runs strong. If you are not familiar with the 2JZ-GE it's pretty easy to work on, it sounds great, very reliable, an im proud to be an owner if 1. If ur looking for an affordable option that will last a long time the 2nd Gen Lexus is a great choice.

Timeless performance!

This car performs better than a majority of newer cars out there. The only issues I’ve really had with this vehicle are all maintenance issues. Given that I’m speaking on a 23 year old car, I’d say it speaks volumes that there are no major or detrimental issues known to affect these cars. I’ve seen people go upwards of close to 500,000 miles on these cars and they’re still going strong.

2nd Gen GS300 the G.O.A.T!!!

I first laid eyes on the Lexus GS300 in 1998 when the second generation was released. I wanted one instantly but it was way more expensive than my lifestyle allowed at the time. As fate would have it, in 2003 I found and purchased a 1998 model with only 30K miles on the odometer. It is now 2020 and I still have the car. It has been simply amazing. The car has never let me down and I won't hesitate to drive it anywhere, RIGHT NOW. We have over 300k miles now and are still going strong. No ticking, knocking, smoking, etc,. Same motor. Same transmission. No major repairs, just regular maintenance. Of course it's not a new car anymore but a close friend has a much newer LS that I drive every now and then, and guess what? My GS is still very comparable in ride quality and feel. It's close enough that I refuse to upgrade or let it go. Plus, I get better mpg. I have other cars, and have had other cars, but I can say hands down, that my 1998 GS 300 is the best car that I have had the pleasure of owning and Lexus OWES ME NOTHING!!!!
