GS300 things to lookout for when buying.

[Zanderboy55]

The lexus community seem to be very helpful and friendly so i thought i would ask you advice on what to look out for when buying. i think i have settled on a gs 300 2005/6/7/8 ish era ( i want an ls460 at some point in the future).

im 34, i drive to the school and back, and the supermarket and i work from home. i do about 3000 miles a year, 20-30 miles on the weekend trips in the peak district, i dont care about fuel consumption as i do about 50 miles a week. It will be an automatic car.

1. apart from the usual service every year, tyres etc are there any mileage specific things i need to look out for, water pump, timing belt etc? 

2. is there anything that is known to fail on these and preventative maintenance 

3. spare parts availability

4. what about fuel types? do i need to use e10 only?

 

i have looked high and low on the internet but cant seem to find answers that truely satisfy these questions

 

thanks in advance
