Q: Should I buy a 1998 Lexus GS 300 with 213k miles for $7k?
How many more miles do you think it will last? That is if I routinely service it. Here is the car: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/car/383438327.html

A: Hi.......i am a car wholesaler, that car books out at $9,000, but thats for a car with 80,000 miles. Luxury cars depreciate more with higher miles. All though that is a well built car, and it may look and run well, anything can go wrong with that many miles on it. I would knock off at least half the value, since it has so many miles. Chances are the seller knows its worth virtually nothing as a trade. I think i would knock off $4-5000. I would look for a similar car with lower miles.........Good Luck!!!

Q: Can I add a better subwoofer to a 2001 Lexus gs 300 where there already is one in place.?
I really want more bass in my Lexus, but I dont want to mess around with anything as far as amplification or a box in my trunk, actually i would, but my dad would kill me. I realize that there already is a sub in the roof of the trunk and I'm wondering if I could just put a really good sub in there with whatever wires Lexus has it attached with. Also if I do this do you think I will have any gain? If you dont think that this is wise could you please instruct me on where the best place to get some installed because I want a clean job and I dont want to do the work. Also could you tell me what the best ide for exhaust would be. I want some noise, but I dont want to pay for it. Those $50 exhausts on ebay - are they any good? I dont want a ahhhhhhhh like on those hondas, I want it to be going along with my motor. THANKS ALOT FOR ANSWERING ANY PART OF THIS!!!!!!!!!! And im really nervous about driving school, anything I should look out 4 (damn im such a noobie to cars!)

A: i dont really know what the sub specs for the gs 300 are but you can upgrade pretty much any thing in life. first of all its not a good idea to mount a sub where its currently mounted. im sure ull gain some by investing in a better sub, but if u complain about a $50 exhaust then buying another sub might not be such a good idea. my advice would be to go for a small bass tube with a build in amp. if u chuck one of these in the boot ur dad might not even notice it. see easy and normally ur supplier can install it for you.

Q: where is the brake fuse on a 94 lexus gs 300 and what color is it?

Q: Hello I have a 1993 Lexus GS 300 and the radio stopped working?
My radio will turn on and the display works fine however there is no sound comming from the speakers. Even the tape player has no sound but it works as far as all of the features are concerned. I went through a car wash and the antanna was torn off but you would think that the tape player would not have been effected by that. I have taken the radio out and made sure the wiring harness was still atached and everything appears to be fine. I'd think that there should be static or something comming from the speakeers even with the antanna being damaged. Even the stereo light comes on to show that the radio is receiving a signal but there is no sound. If anyone can help with this matter I would realy apriciate it Thank You Robert B.

A: I say try changing the antenna cuz some car radio`s use that as a secondary ground! Or atleast see if the Antenna is all hooked up completely

Q: What is wrong with my lexus gs 300?
You know when you stick your fingers on the fan? It makes that noise when im cruising. I dont know where it is coming from. It gets louder as i drive more and it goes away when i brake or when i give gas. It only happens when im cruising. Any ideas?

A: Sounds like a wheel bearing problem. Don't ignore it.....get it checked out before you wear your brakes out from it holding the wheel vertical (that's what bearings are good for!). If you ignore it for too long, you won't have any brakes left, and will have to replace those as well.

Q: 1993 Lexus GS 300 sometimes drives rough. Sometimes it shakes even when idle. transmission is good.?
1993 Lexus GS 300 sometimes drives rough. Sometimes it shakes even when idle. transmission is good. Sometimes it also vibrates and hesitate to change gears when accelerating. A friend said it could be the ECM ( engine control module)... any suggestion?

A: I think its because it's too old and too small usually SUVS don't have that kind of problem, also u can feel small cars glide when your driving too fast
