Hangie

You are welcome! PS. I've done the change quite few years ago at Lexus Guildford for just under £200. skrzynia.pdf

Nope, it was not about fuel economy. With mk3 I got feeling even basic version was nicely equipped, radar cruise control also was pretty standard at the beginning of production. It is like later on Lexus discovered they could charge extra for it 🙂 With mk4 more cheap version showed up and nice toys were also gone. In my premier I was missing VGRS for example (only F-sport got it), I'm also not sure if dynamic rear stabiliser was even an option. Same goes for dimming side mirrors, mk3 got them while mk4 not. I don't remember details now after those years but I remember there were few more details. For me it looks like for mk4 they put all the options on the table and removed the ones which cost money and typical customer don't care about too much. Of course maybe it is just my feeling about it. I've sold it as I wanted something more comfortable and bigger for the longer journeys. Don't get me wrong GS was a nice car but it was more towards "sport" rather than comfort. I was hoping for LS 600h but couldn't find a nice one. Ended up with Jaguar XJ with all the options (authobigraphy). I might be back to LS 500h later on but depending on the price difference I would need to put on top.

Honestly I prefer original subtle version rather this one. Of course it is personal choice. Hopefully you can dim it while driving.

I got both mk3 and mk4. I enjoyed the both but prefer mk4 after all. mk3 was more like a statement with no cost spared where with mk4 finance department got a bit more to say in my private opinion. What I liked about mk4 was updated interior, bigger boot, better hybrid system, premier grade seats. Infotainment system is more or less the same but mk4 got refreshed graphics and bigger screen, better ML sound system. I also preferred the look of mk4 but that is a personal choice. I don't remember the details but mk4 was around 10% better with fuel. As for millage if serviced well 125k is nothing to be worry about. At 125k miles you should have: - Inverter coolant done at 100k - Spark plugs done at 125k (ask if done) - New front brakes at around 100-120k (check the state if new are fitted) - Gearbox oil should also be changed already, if not budget for change straight away. When I bought my mk4 it was at 140k. When I was selling it was at 180k. When I recently checked it was almost 200k now with the new owner 🙂 Check the MOT history for YP12 VCA - that is how it should look like 🙂 Attached is the driver seat at almost 180k miles 🙂 I bought a new steering wheel at 150k as factory witted one was a bit tired 🙂

As far i remember on my previous GS disc were changed at around 100k miles, but it was mainly done on motorways. My wife CRV is at 78k and will have new disc this spring. 20k seems way too small. Are you sure they are already 2mm thinner, or is it just small lip on the edge ?

Wow, that is quite a price for a 2010 car. 20k more and you can have 2018 ls500h - a way better value 🙂

Those constantly out screens are one of not many things which annoys me about the LS. I much better prefer how it is done in my XJ: When not needed or want to put something occasionally in the back I can just close them. Still LS500 is a strong contender for XJ replacement in 2 years or quicker if XJ start to play up too much 🙂 Hopefully LS will drop to 40k by then. I will also miss the tables as those are perfect to put laptop on or a quick take away in the car - was a brilliant thing to have while restaurant were take away only 🙂

Everything is possible right now. I would be surprised if they grow even more, they were not popular brand new due to the price so having used at high price doesn’t make too much sense. It is not LFA after all If I already got 40k to spend I would prefer to top up and go for ls500 or lc500 or Panamera (as wife fancy Porsche now)

I don’t mind the colour so much, but current used car prices are way too high. I wouldn’t buy any car right now unless really need to, and GS F is not this kind of car you need to buy for you Tesco runs 🙂 I was considering GS F 2 years ago when they were closer to 30k mark. I might consider it again when they drop to 25k but almost £40 for almost 6 years old one which was 70k new is crazy.

Anyone know how capable it will be for towing ?

Been in the same situation last year. I would love LS500h but I didn't want spend so much on a car. As a result I've ended up with Jaguar XJ. Performance wise similar to GS 450h but way more luxurious and packed with new tech. I personally love massage seats, especially on longer runs, and my daughter love rear seat entertainment. What is also important it also got semi aniline leather like GS which was very important to me. For not much more than 50% of LS500h price it was a really good value option. PS. As for ES, it is not for me. I like to have a fun time from time to time on round abound with RWD and it doesn't have semi aniline leather.

I've recently changed the address on 3 V5c I got. New ones arrives 3 days later. Just fill out the https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle and you should have new one in few days.

Hi Everyone, I'm in the middle of decluttering and found floor mats from my old GS MK3. They are in a very good condition from 2010 car. What is important I only got 3 of them, as driver one was in poor shape hence why I bought new ones and kept remaining 3 🙂 If anyone is interested they are for free (or a good beer if you want). Mats are in Chertsey - next to M3/M25 junction. Thanks!

Ive seen this one for quite a while on an autotrader. Hopefully you managed some £££ off but it was quite reasonably priced anyway. Ive test drove 600h before changing my GS, but haven’t decided to go for any. I’m waiting for 500h to drop in price to go back to Lexus 🙂

As for 155mph if they got correct speed rating then they will not fall apart at least - different matter if you will be brace enough to go so fast on them 😉
