Do not take this comment for granted, especially the good legs part.


I got the 2013 Gs350 f sport, my only problem is the legs and I spent quite a lot to fix it but it's still giving me vibrations and rattles(driving me crazy).

Just do your due diligence

Surprisingly, these cars are known to have propellers that causes vibrations.

I see, I’ll have the drive shaft and engine mounts inspected. I get this rocky feeling whenever I go through interlocked roads.

My 2001 es300 with 50k suspension has better ride quality

Please who owns or is driving a Lexus GS350 2008-2010. Is it advisable to buy?

If you own one, what issues are you facing and how do you work around them? Outside Lagos do you think mechanics can work on the car if there are any issues?
Re: Club-Lexus by MBG1: 3:50pm On May 29, 2023
GS350 2008
ES350 2010
Camry SE 2012.

Which is more advisable? I’m the type of person that’ll only leave home like 3times in a week. I work from home. Which one is the best option? My road has some potholes on a short distance. I don’t really care about fuel economy.

So I installed new OEM rotors since the previous one is unevened which has significantly reduced the vibration.

I’ll check the engine seating tomorrow, I ordered for front ball joints also
Re: Club-Lexus by Depressed101: 9:18pm On Jun 02, 2023
Guys I have this issue with my lexus es 350 2013.

When I got the car, whenever I park it, it will automatically fold, and automatically open when I start the engine. But after my car battery was changed, it stopped doing so. I've googled all I could there seems to be a missing button in my car that's supposed to be there. I read somewhere that only Japanese lexus comes with the reset button.

A mechanic said he knows a guy that could reset it, but I haven't met him....

Also my radiator is leaking (I can't tell how come) I load water into it every morning now (which wasn't so before. My mechanic has advice me to buy a new one,. My question is can't be repaired?

A reset procedure can solve that. A mechanic without a coolant pressure tester. Get a competent tech

Check your spare tire and make sure it’s fastened well. That could be the problem. It has happened to me couple of times. The tightening screw unscrews sometimes with time.

Hello guys. I would like to know your mpg especially for people that drive around Lagos regularly for work. My mpg is at 13 which is by every standard low. It could be because of the start and stop due to Lagos traffic. Let me know what you think.
