Hello all!
I pick up a 2005 GS300 SE this Friday. I looked at all sorts of cars before choosing the GS, from BMW, Audi and even a VW Phaeton. The Lexus just grabbed me and I think it has to do with the rarity of seeing these things on the road, the drive, gearbox, interior etc. 5 series BMWs and Audi are everywhere and I hate the interior of the BM, horrid.
Anyway I digress.
My questions are, pretty lame but I am wondering:
In the GS I'm picking up it has an electric blind-
Q:was this a standard fit or option? (SE)
The car has been at this dealers for months, not used, driven around the forecourt from time to time, but has been stood throughout winter.
Q: How should I treat this car as it has been stood for at least 5 months, it will get a service.
The battery was flat when I went to see it but now charged.
Q: Any problems here?
I noticed that the dash on the drivers side was 'squeaky'. The dealer said it is probably as it's cold in the car. The noise did settle and only apparent over pot holes.
Q: If it is a problem is it a cheap(ish) easy fix?
I hope you knowable types out there can answer these questions!
I'm looking forward to being a Lexus owner and member of this owners club site!!!!
Hi, Thanks for the info! I shall give Lexus Sheffield a ring tomorrow and see what they suggest about squeaks. Do Lexus dealers try to help even though the car would be out of warranty? The supplying dealer may have indeed solved the problem themselves so I should wait and see when I pick it up Friday, no harm in giving Lexus a ring though!
