Thanks, Yes the car is from Lexus, so it will be serviced before sale (if it needs to be). Sounds encouraging about the running costs, could I really expect 30 mpg if I drive in gently, that is only slightly lower than my 4 cylinder Merc!

I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I have just sold my 1995 Mercedes E220 SE which I really enjoyed owning. I am looking around at the moment for something different. I am not your typical owner I suppose of a GS300 as I am only 23 but I am absolutely car mad and think that cars like this are exceptional value used. The car I am considering is a 1998 GS300 S which I know does not have leather etc but I am not too bothered by this. The car is in Astral black and has covered 41000 miles. What I am wanting to know is what are they like in terms of running costs if I do say 10,000 miles a year? Any tips / thoughts would be greatly appreciated. MANY THANKS CHRIS
