Cocked that right up! I always thought the hybrid system would be very reliable. Toyota have kind of bt the farm on it so I'd be surprised to see them mess it up. The 300's are very cheap in comparison though - as are the V8 cars -that's kind of my motivation... Have you had any kind of issues at all with the batteries etc? Best T

I've finally got round to doing this. Been a very hectic few months to say the least! I've found this 300 locally - does the money look ok? http://www.usedcarexpert.co.uk/buy/lexus/gs/d-101021/id-9526228/ A wise buy? Cheers T

Cheers all, About 12 to 15k is the budget. I'd love a 460 - proper beast - V8's still sound the best - truthfully the straight 6 in the Merc only gives 20 odd MPG at best so I'm kind of used to it... Think it will probably be this kind of thing though,,, http://www.usedcarexpert.co.uk/buy/lexus/gs/d-84936/id-7253888/ Anybody got one? What should I check for? Best Tarling

Hello Everybody I'm thinking of buying a GS - grown tired of Mercs, good though the old ones are (replacing a W124 E280 - just can't fix it anymore) The GS (just superceded shape) looks to be pretty well made - And the V8 (If I can find one) looks plenty fast... (don't care a bout economy - school runs only these days!) There's a good buyers guide at Used Car Expert - This car looks like the kind of thing I've got in mind... I'll avoid the hybrids as they just cost so much more. http://www.usedcarex...k/buy/lexus/gs/ Essentially, I'm wondering which you guys would advise I buy - any tips and reccommendations and all that Cheers and thanks T
