What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Lexus GS
"The best GS ever"
"I got the honor of receiving this vehicle with only 58k . The vehicle as of now is 25 years old. It drives and looks as new as any of the current models on the road today. I realize it has very low miles however the styling of the exterior does not look old or dated. It still looks current thanks to the Italian design. This vehicle was way ahead of it's time. I plan to keep it for ever and with the low milage I will be driving this car for many years to come . Love driving this classic."
