Buying Tips for the Lexus GS (Mk4)

  • Verify that the hybrid battery cooling fan filter (behind the rear seats) has been cleaned regularly.
  • Test the Remote Touch controller; early versions can be jerky or unresponsive.
  • Check for "binding" rear brakes, as the calipers can seize if not serviced.
