Same as the person that is buying an earlier model LS. I’m buying a car
from Florida. It’s a 1993 GS300 w/ 95,000 miles. I’m having it checked
out at the dealer today (Lexus) then I’m going to have them do the 90k
service w/ timing belt and water pump. Doesn’t need the water pump, but I
from the school of "while your in there you might as well do the pump
too". Anyway, is there anything else that I should be aware of from the
vehicle. The lexus service people say that I shouldn’t worry about buying
a GS with this kind of mileage. We have most of the service records thru
55k and various misc. items from 55 to 95k. But it didn’t have the 60k
(tune-up) or 90k (fluids/Timing) which I’m going to do today. It did have
a recall which was performed in 1995 for the lower ball joints. Other than
that, this car is pretty sweet, even for a 1993.
Where are Lexus people going on the net for great prices for parts (if I
ever need them)?
Thanks,
Don

Go for it. My ’93 GS300 read 173,000 Km on the odometer this morning. It
just keeps going. I have replaced a rad and heater hose in the last year.
Just do the maintenance, put gas in it and buy replacement tires as needed.

Bought it…. I did the 90k service w/ timing belt and water pump. It
needed the ball joints replaced again. Not bad, just 1/4" play. Only
$325.00. I replaced the CD player with a rebuilt 12 disk unit. But, the
car is very sound, actually drives better than the 99 300M that I had a
few years ago.
