I have a MK4 2012
one of the first ones in my country , so its kind of a mix of the "Luxury and Executive version"
fourth year of ownership now @ 85K miles
it had very low mileage when i bought it
No big issues, replaced the taillights on warranty due to cracks in the plastic
Had some rattling sound from the button console on the driver door when playing music , easy fix
Had some squeak sound from the dashboard, easy fix
Replaced Xenonbulbs after 3 years
Next service i will have to replace a break line due to some rust
I did replace the break disks and pads at 60K miles
So most likely it will be salted winters, not mileage that will kill this car...
Since its not the F sport version it does not have active rear steering and active dampers "dynamic handling system"
For me that was actually plus since less things to go wrong and cheaper to fix.
Had many BMWs before the GS , and this has been a much cheaper ownership
I do the service at Toyota in my countryside instead of Lexus in main city , and for some reason its a bit cheaper.
I have done all services until now at Toyota to get the 10Year hybrid warranty.
Average consumption is 37mpg , 75% of my driving is long distance driving, I have fairly normal driving style
Since its an early MK4 version it uses the hard-disk in the entertainment system , not the SD card
The hard-disk solution seems durable , but if it breaks it will be a costly experience
Its possible to convert to SD card but not by Toyota/Lexus
Gs450h mk3 low mileage vs gs450h mk4 high mileage...
in Lexus GS 300 / Lexus GS 250 / Lexus GS 430 / Lexus 450h / Lexus GS 460 Club
