Lexus Survey

Written by: puna on Dec 10, 2008 11:22 AM

I recently got a 2008 GS-350, am very happy with the car, got it from one of the major dealers here in Atlanta, I wasnt very happy with the process and the way I was treated in the dealership when I picked up the car and I expressed my unhappiness to the GM. I never heard back from him or any one else... I was wondering how long it takes for Lexus to send the feedback survey?, ... Read More...

Brake Screech-2008 Lexus GS 350

Written by: njowner on Dec 09, 2008 08:26 PM

Spoke to Lexus 4 times this week about brake screech. Only answer was "Japan is aware of the problem and their first try at a solution failed." I have a $60,000 automobile that sounds worse than a NYC taxicab with no date for any resolution. Very poor response. Read More...

Tell your dealer to repair the windshield noise according to TSB NV005-06 (Upper/Lower Windshield Noise). Mine is due for repair this week for the Lower noise. Windshield noise occurs when the temp is around 40F. The brakes squeal occurs around 30F. Lexus is working on this issue. Hopefully they'll have a fix in Jan 09 from what I heard. Read More...

Hi mi7. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GS 350 with 15,000 miles per year are an extremely attractive .00020 and an extremely unattractive 40%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

Re: GS any time. [lazer]

Written by: satyarg on Sep 16, 2008 10:14 AM

I drive a BMW 5 series RWD and a GS AWD. I agree the Lexus feels more Luxurious however I am not 100% happy as they improved the road feedback trying to make it more sporty. Making the tires noisy for a Lexus.A lot of buyers might like the feedback and new sporty GS. I did not expect it to be all in one.I feel It falls between being Sporty and luxury. I would have still preferred ... Read More...

Most of the people I know who make $80K - $100K can only afford used cars Don't take this the wrong way as I am being most sincere: If I was in this situation, I would seriously sit myself down and look at my personal finances. People making half as much can afford a new Sonata/Santa Fe (examples from your post). Read More...

As I stated before, 44% of Genesis owners have household income of over $100K I am surprised the percentage is SO LOW. Most of the people I know who make $80K - $100K can only afford used cars or maybe a Sonata or Santa Fe. Most families have too many other expenses. Maybe if it is a single person or someone who has their house paid off. A typical example today is my single ... Read More...
