New GS300H owner

[Ace8800]

Hi there, 

Just thought id share i have left a deposit on a GS300h. Grey with rose leather. Test drove both IS300h and GS300h, liked both but the GS300h just piped it for me. 

Looking forward to picking it up next week. The mileage is high (93k) but that dont bother me as my brother has a CT200H with 133k and its a solid car. Car is in stunning condition.

Is there anything i need to know in terms of tips or tricks on GS?

Welcome, enjoy your GS, I love mine one . Tip and tricks? My suggestion is to read all topics regarding hybrid driving techniques for good mpg, but before have fun knowing your GS.

Welcome M. A good decision. The GS exudes Class, Specification and Quality in a discreet manner.

Did you buy it privately or from a Trader?

Can I ask why you chose the GS300h?

[Ace8800]

Thanks guys, I bought it from lexus dealers. I have always been a IS man, but did like the GS. I wasnt looking for a GS, my aim was a IS300h, but when i saw the GS in person i started to like it more and more, the driving seat position, the luxury and sport combination was a real great feel i didnt get in the IS. Dont get me wrong i love the IS, but the GS just felt right. Might not make sense to some but it did to me thr moment i sat in one.

93k and 12 months warranty and it will still qualify for warranty after 12 months. A good deal methinks M.

I paid 14.5k.. i think i got a good deal too. Got rid of the CLS55, was real tight fit into my garage, i know the GS according to AT figures is a tad smaller in lenght so should be fine.

Took delivery of the GS yesterday, im really very impressed with the drive, very comforting and a pleasure to drive back to birmingham. Mrs drove half way back and was also impressed with its power for a hybrid. 

I like the mouse cursor feedback (how it changes from free flowing on some options to small click on slecting address letters)

Overall another great experience buying from Lexus dealers.

Great news, glad you enjoyed your initial drive home.

Have you got pics to show her off? ;)

[Ace8800]

Thanks Farqui, here a pic, Has rose leather.

[Farqui]

Ta, she's quite a looker. I like the colour.

Not sure about the interior but I've only seen pics and i guess it looks better in person.

Enjoy.

Defo looks better in person, even through it classed as rose leather, its note like a rusty brown.. rellly goes well with the grey.
