LEXUS GS 300 Uncommon

As of 2025 Q4, 5,586 LEXUS GS 300s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 8,623 in 2014 Q3 — only 65% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 3,037 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 294 a year (5.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2038 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
