Ensure the GS you’re test driving is cold and hasn’t been warmed up ahead of your arrival to conceal this sound. A service bulletin addresses this issue, which your local Lexus dealer will be familiar with.
The verdict of a used Lexus GS: As with most complicated, high-dollar premium cars, a dealer-serviced model available through a certified pre-owned program is likely your safest bet. Purchasing a Lexus GS privately without an inspection by a Lexus dealer is not advised. A model that checks out electronically and mechanically should provide a supremely luxurious and dependable motoring experience. Expect to pay a premium in the used market compared to some competitors.
