Hello ALL!!!
After having a Lexus GS430 about 6 years ago I am thinking of getting IS 300h. I saw one at the above link and am stunned how cheap it is compared to some other minding this one's state and all extras that it seem to have (M Levinson is a MUST for me XD). I have one question though. It has 112k on the clock - not even having a first MOT. Newer dials - fancy moving ones... I have called a dealer and an unhelpful man answered saying that this is one company owner car with full Lexus SH. Please advice me if I should be afraid of a mileage as I have heard that hybrid system is guaranteed only up to 75k mileage and batteries up to 100k? So in case of anything happening I am in deep you know what.
A bit reassuring fact is that car seems to be like new and looks well cared for. Other thing is that I currently have prius 07 reg with 160k miles and still complete trust in it's reliability as it never broke down on me for 2 years.
Compared to Lexus Lincoln this would be a huge bargain for me with the specs I am after. Saving at least 4-5k on what I can get from a dealer.
I am considering a GS300h to get really feeling posh :-) but with budget up to 15k I am forced to look for a similar deal with bigger mileage bargain - yet same thing - afraid of batteries & hybrid system life span.
Please help me make up mi mind. (I really want Lexus but if it is not a good choice considering mileage I would go with 2012 Prius - but really want not to - just want a good looking car for a change)
Thanks,
Martin, Lincoln
