Replying to: hemsley1 (Jun 18, 2007 8:21 am) Gas Mileage on the M is not great. But you're driving a TRUE sports sedan. Can't think of any sports car that has good gas mileage. You will be better of with the GS if mileage is your concern.

I'm 5'11" and 190#- not a huge guy and the driver's compartment is incredibly cramped for me; extremely claustrophobic! The center console and driver's door practically touch my body.   I hope test drive and sit in these vehicles before they buy them because my above comments is the main reason I couldn't buy that car. I fell it's a woman's car and a smaller than average guy's car.   It handles nicely, is attractive , is well-made, good sound system, nice electronic toys although when I looked at this past Spring XM wasn't available, quiet cabin, good gas mileage- BUT see above.   Please test drive it then decide.   I bought the RL by the way.

I have a 2006 GS430 and love it. I can't speak to AWD but will address the previous comment. I am 6'0" and 240 pounds. The interior of the GS is fairly tight compared to other cars in its class no doubt, including the M. However I have gotten used to it and it's not a problem. The seat is ultimately adjustable and with the seat all the way down, I am comfortable. After 18 months I still love the beauty of the car, interior and exterior, the amenities, and the drive. I had narrowed down by selection to the GS430 and M45 and liked both, but ultimately got the Lexus since I thought it looked better both inside and out.

Replying to: carfan28 (Dec 09, 2007 8:25 pm) why did you buy the RL v. the M35?
#17 of 17 Lexus GS350 by ultramaficrock Dec 26, 2008 (8:04 pm)
Looking for some feedback from anyone who has recently purchased a 2008 or 2009 Lexus RWD GS350. I'm seriously looking at purchasing next week, have been researching extensively for the past month, so feel I have done my homework. My question to any and all...   1) Have researched Carsdirect.com as they post their prices with options. A 2008 with Navigation and Mark Levinson is listed at invoice for $41,350 and 2009 for $44,219. Has anyone used Carsdirect.com to purchase a vehicle? Seems to me an easy no hassle way to buy a car without having to negotiate with a dealer. Although, not sure if you could negotiate a better deal or not by speaking to the dealer directly. My wife and I have a credit score currently of 760, so I'm not sure if the dealer takes into effect your credit score when negotiating a deal through carsdirect as compared to visiting a dealership where you may save some $$$ or reduced interest rate on your loan.   2) I found a website yesterday www.fightingchance.com that states they can save you atleast $1000 below the invoice price of any new vehicle. I should be receiving the information by tomorrow, but was curious if anyone has used this service. Cost was $39 and it appears they provide you a breakdown cost of the vehicle with all the options that truly can save you over $1,000.   Thanks for the help!
