Harold, you simply must! This was the best local GS 430 I could find on CL. There’s also a silver one in Lakewood, but while the car looked great, the car lot looked a little... Lakewoody. Nonetheless, it may be worth a peek.
But anyway... This black one is in Bellevue!

Here’s the silver one in Lakewood (these look best in silver, I said it):

It’s a well-known fact that the UZ is better than the UR because I said so.

He didn’t have any Rebadged Corolla Hatchbacks either at first. But after I stopped by, he called me 3 days later and said he picked one up. I bought it that night.

Why is 90* of the Tach past redline?

It’s an auto Lexus. It won’t get anywhere near that redline.

It does if you shift into 2nd instead of D.

Careful with the finance stuff with the Lakewood dealerships. They’re right by JBLM, prime predatory salesman hunting grounds.

Have you considered a 350? Not quite as zippy but I would think they might be more plentiful. I saw one the other day with an aftermarket exhaust and it sounded spectacular...

These GS430s are very high on my list of realistic dadmobiles in coming years, because I have no desire to drive any of the same-era German shit we work on. Love these, I have a client with a gunmetal ‘08 that’s just pimp as all hell.

I’ve done a V6 for five years now. I don’t hate the V6, but I’d like to try out V8 power while I’m still young and spunky.

Not sure about the Lexus, but my Camry will happily ping the redline if you mash the pedal hard enough.

The black one has a redline of 6250 or so making about 90* of the tach red. Why not have the tach just go to 7k?

6250 vs 6500 rpm redline doesn’t matter.
Most gauges don’t have indications for all 360 degrees of the dial. It’s just that they’re more commonly arranged like the speedo in the picture above, which has 0 at 8 o’clock and tops out at 4 o’clock.
The tach has 0 at 6 o’clock and tops out at 2 o’clock. The red section is no larger than usual.
