Looks good to me,certainly low mileage compared to the other offerings for sale.

Should be a one owner with FLSH.

Price is on par for a Lexus dealer (haggle for a cash discount) but will have some warranty and possibility to extend.

Check wheels carefully Lexus wheels have a known corrosion problem.

Certainly worth a look and test drive.

Yep it looks OK to me to. Cash buyer so I'll offer em £6 grand and see what happens!

Seriously if it comes with a years warranty, FSH and long MOT I'm really interested.

Would have preferred a straight 3.0 petrol non-hybrid as I don't know much about hybrids (more things to go wrong) but it does look good. I'll let you know how it goes.

Appreciate your time & help

Look good, looks like its got a sunroof and adapative cruise making it a SE L, sweet! Dont you worry about hybrids, they go on forever, trust Lexus they don't mess around.

£13,980 down to 6k..lol, I think England

stand more chance of winning the world cup then you getting that car for 6k.

12k if your lucky.

Nice car though I am sure you will enjoy it, as said above don’t

worry about the Hybrid, and it will certainly go a lot quicker than a 3.00 with

better fuel consumption.

Thanks guys for the feedback, getting excited now! One thing, does anyone know if any Toyota dealer would be able to service/repair the car using Lexus parts etc. or would it vary from one Toyota dealer to another? Or would it be best to use a pucker Lexus dealer though more expensive?

Thanks again

Prices do vary between dealers, Lexus Milton Keynes best for you, they collect and return beautifully cleaned at a good price, done mine 15 times and never a problem. Full Lexus history always helps.

My first post here. I just purchased a 2008 GS40h SE-L model at the weekend and paid less than £8k. Of course it's done a lot more mileage (130k on the clock) but it looks and drives like new with one owner and full Lexus service. Only problems I have found are 1 missing TPMS valve (standard valve fitted) and 1 non-functioning front parking sensor. All in, I would reckon on £400 to fix.

My point here isn't to boast but to say that Lexus build quality is excellent so high miles shouldn't put you off and you could have £6k change in the bank (that would pay for a lot of incidental repairs).

The car appears to have been sold. Did you buy it, Jon?
