Hi everyone! New Lexus owner GS 250

[KC99]

Hi All, 

I've just become the proud new owner of a Lexus GS 250 (approve used from Lexus Sheffield). It's grey with black interior and only 47k miles on the clock.

It's so lovely and different to all my previous cars.  I have been finding myself just taking it out for a drive of an evening simply for the enjoyment of it. I can't put my finger on what makes it feel so special I am just enjoying it so much. I certainly love the engine and although it's not the most powerful it sounds lovely and I prefer it to more powerful diesels I have driven in the past.

Also just to say thanks to all of you who give your feedback on questions and comments on this forum, it has been helpful in my search for a great car.

Cheers!

Hello K and welcome to the LOC.

Lovely colour that is, I only mentioned the other day it would be worth checking Lexus dealer stock for a nice part exchange model, even better when it has only  locked up 47,000 miles and been looked after.

Hi K!

I'd say welcome but I think you've bought the car I've been eyeing up for the last few weeks every time I called to see Russell in Lexus Parts. So you know, YOU BOUGHT MY CAR!! 

You clearly love it so keep us posted and a grudging welcome...

+1 on the colour - it looks fab.

Oh I wasn't going to actually buy it. It was just my car

Hey Shahpor... same model, same colour but a bigger engine in yours 😀

Thanks for the warm welcome, it's great to finally be a Lexus Owner and part of this forum 🙂

It's good to hear that you are enjoying your smart GS, what cars have you owned previously?

[KC99]

Hey there Farqui,

A lot of cars, but I suppose ones that stand out for me were:

Audi GT coupe, Renault 5 GT Turbo, Porsche 944, Merc E200 (W124), BMW 530i manual (E39), BMW F30 328i.

Aside from these a few Golfs and other hatchbacks.

[Farqui]

Ah, some tasty motors in there 👍

Will be interested to hear your thought on the GS after owning it for a few months, once the initial new car 😍 passes.

K welcome and congratulations on a new car!

I see you are another runner from BMW marque! 🙂

The W124 appears to be the odd one out amongst that group ?
