hi all
i have an rx300 which i am pleased with but am getting restless for a change of vehicle
the following are on offer
1 2006 gs300 15000 miles same price as 2
2 2009 gs450h 77000 miles same price as 1
3 keep rx300
i fancy option 2 but am still uncertain about reliability
.option 1 appeals due to low mileage but obviously is now a dated concept.
option 3 the devil you know etc
can anyone help me to make a decision?

hi all thanks for input
it would appear that there is a potential problem which can be repaired without perhaps the expense of a lexus warranty
from reports obtained the car seems a good piece of kit and may well be worth considering
it also seems that the pump failure does not disable the car but it carries on as a non hybrid
is this correct?
think i might buy a horse!!-probably drop dead knowing my luck!!
ps were/are all hybrid cvt or were/are some straight auto?
thanks for help

hi
have been considering moving up to hybrid but am put off by reports of pump failures at 70-80k
is this something to wory about or should i stay with non-hybrid tech
thought and advice appreciated

hiall
i am considering a 450h used 76k but am concerned about the reported failure of the hydraulic(?) pump at about this mileage
it does seem that that those prone to fail fail around this mileage
does this mean that if you get past this break point that it is unlikely to fail and continue to be reliable
i also am looking at a low mileage 300 but prefer the modern technology but would not be happy to fork out lots of money for repairs that should not be needed on this class of car
any help or guidance would be appreciated

have RX300 at present
hi again
seems the 250 is a bit down on power
any comments on 430c-is it the same body as a 250c or bigger?
fuel costs not a prob
i am looking for a nice convertible for casual use as i have access to nissan cube for day to day(wife permitting)

hi
dont know if this may help
opened bonnet and the snow on it slid into the trough at the base of the windscreen
drove off and noticed management lights on(both)
tried to reset no luck so hosed out the snow and dried what i could off
bingo all back to normal
will wait for spring and apply waterproofing varnish/spray for a permanemt repair
hope it is as simple as just damp proofing
regards
les
hi
why does it seem to be beyond the capability of vehicle manufacturers to produce a product that does not leak when it rains!
i have a water ingress behind the front seats where the transmission tunnel would normally be
any thoughts?

hi i think it is generally agreed by the sensible members that the reversing lights are rubbish
the dissenting members perhaps live in cloud cuckoo land or alice in wonderland land

hi all
this is my first post but have been around a bit
1 aircon light blinking-is the system in need of regas?-switch off/on and works ok for a while
2 any way to lower front seats-below electric limits to increase access headroom ie reset seat rails or similar?
thanks
