Used Lexus GS 2012-2018 reliability review

Very generous standard equipment and hybrid power help the Lexus GS stand out, but it isn’t the best luxury car to drive

What should I look for in a used Lexus GS?

It goes without saying that you should make sure that all the electronic equipment in your GS still works, because there are plenty of toys included. However, since Lexus reliability is so good, this shouldn't be a worry.

The GS is a big car, so you should check for unsightly dents and dings. If there is any evidence of paint repair, make sure that it has been carried out by a Lexus-approved repairer, otherwise it won’t be covered by the standard paint protection warranty.

Is a used Lexus GS reliable?

Very much so. Lexus has often been at the top of most reliability surveys, and this was true of our latest survey, in which it took first place above 31 other car brands – an excellent result.
