I have seen this car offered privately for £14k on facebook marketplace (It may have been £14,999... so say £15k). For £17k it is not great buy. I wouldn't worry about mileage at all, 100k is completely fine for car with service history, besides to do this mileage in 7 years car must have been on motorway a lot (and that is great!).
I guess the key difference will be that this car no longer gets the Lexus Relax warranty, so you would be missing out on that for last 3 years of it's life, so I expect the car to be discounted accordingly and I do believe that £14-15k was more realistic price, £17k for 100k+ miles GS300h is a lot, if it would be GS450h... then maybe...
In summary I don't think mileage on Lexus matters as long as there is service history, big miles in short time is good sign, means car driven on motorway (usually), but key question is price - if car is priced based on mileage then Lexus usually are very good value for money, but if they are priced based on years with high mileage then that is automatically bad deal. Nerdle is a really fun math game that has taken the world by storm. It's just like Wordle, but with math!
I'd drive anywhere in my old, high-mileage cars. In two weeks, we're driving my Ford turbo diesel Excursion to South Dakota with a big trailer. It only has 240k miles. We've driven it across the nation, and I'd drive it to Alaska today. I use an F250 turbo diesel pickup truck with 226k miles to move big, dirty stuff around my farm. My job vehicle is a Ford Crown Victoria 4.6L V8. No issues after 180k miles. An Infiniti Q45 with nearly 300k miles ran great when I sold it. I sold it because parts are becoming scarce and expensive, and I didn't want to cope with a costly repair. The baby of the fleet, my wife's Infiniti G35X, has nearly 160k miles and will last for years with minimum maintenance. For school and job driving, the kids' Jeep Grand Cherokees with the 4.0 I6 engine and 250k miles are fine. They need to enjoy nicer, newer cars by driving old, high-mileage ones, so I don't want them to have them! I also want them to learn how to fix and maintain.
100K-miler for sale, opinions?
