Too late, I've been up with my secret fourth spare key and it's back on my drive. I hope you enjoyed your short time with it!😁 -
The one I'm looking at in the morning has 17" so it'll interesting to see how it feels.
-
I second that.
-
Well done, and welcome to the LOC. Lovely motor. I sold my LS430 last week and already miss it!!
-
I'm sure you're getting bored with this by now but, do you think the MOT history should be something to put me off? This one is just over an hours drive so not too bad, and I quite like the colour combo. https://www.cargurus.co.uk/Cars/l-Used-Lexus-GS-300-d3405#listing=125994299

I thought the 430 I saw today had 19" which would help explain the hard ride, unless I read it wrong on the tyre. I'm guessing the suspension was different as well being a "sportier" version.
-
I was really impressed with the ride in the 300, and I think it has plenty of power. It's frustrating the way some dealers have a very liberal interpretation of "immaculate"
-
Well that'll be a great result if it's just a repairable leak.
-
Took the GS430 for a spin today, lovely condition (apart from a small tear in the drivers seat) fantastic colour. Sadly the ride felt too hard, presumably due to the bigger wheels etc. He said 6.5k was his best which I would have paid if it felt "softer" I also tried the GS300 in Certsey which I have to say felt so much nicer. The V6 feels just right, and the ride was lovely. Alas, the body wasn't great. The interior was superb though. The search continues (unless Norman, "Normski" is still selling his!) Where are you Norman?!
-
That's interesting, I didn't know that. Does that that go for every business?
-
I would gladly pay that for it. I'm looking at two GS300's in the morning but it they don't work out I may try to make an offer on the 430.
-
Does it seem expensive for the year? I love the colour.
-
My thoughts entirely!
-
I'm chuffed that its gone to someone who really appreciates it, and I got to be a passenger in it for 10 miles for the first time ever which felt good! A pleasure to meet you Martin, and I hope the car gives you as much pleasure as it gave me. Now I'm on the hunt for a replacement, I've got two GS's to see on Saturday morning.
-
Oh well, still made by the same company!
-
One of our LOC members has sent me this link, is it the right price do you think? I've also discovered it's only 40 mins drive from here. Now that my lovely LS430 has gone to a new home I'm already feeling bereaved! https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201801012372756?model=GS 430&make=LEXUS&sort=sponsored&radius=1501&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&postcode=ls211dg&page=1&utm_source=LexusOwnersClubUK&utm_medium=ForumLinks&polaAffiliate=isis&utm_source=RoEye&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=HELP&utm_content=Skimbit%2C Ltd.&utm_term=Performance

I don't suppose any of you are in the area and could look at it for me?
-
I'm in the market now for a GS and although I'm still not sure about a hybrid I would definitely look at that. Why are they ALWAYS 250 miles away!
-
If it's dropping it sounds very much like you have a strut leaking air. You could be lucky and find it's a height sensor but I would think it's the former. You should be able to hear the air escaping. It could of course be a damaged air hose. It really needs to be checked by a specialist.
-
Not withstanding the good info from you hybrid fans, I am planning to see the GS300 in Chertsey on Saturday. Two owners, full Lexus history and 63k, and lower tax. I'm still open to whatever else may come along of course.
-
Happy birthday Michael's motor, I hope he bought you something nice!
-
I haven't even sat in one yet! I did go for a run in a friend's IS and loved it. I won't rush, and I do think the acceleration with the hybrid could tempt me!
-
Oh yes, of course. I'm going to speak to him again in the morning to discuss it.
-
How do I do that? I've just spoken to the seller of this one and it does sound very good. But then dealers/estate agents!
-
Do you think the price is fair? I could be there in 45mins. I've emailed the seller of the hybrid asking if they would accept my offer, it's along way to go if not.
