Old Rusty Honda accord 2.2 vtec engine manual 5 speed gearbox recaro seats. I agree with you rock auto and amayama prices can be better but........ i needed parts urgently, and uk dealership can supply to me very very fast. almost in a day.... and i am happy from their prices. I also buy parts from these places which you mention but only if i can wait.... that much...

For my Previous Lexus which i owned until today, i bought 99% of the parts from Uk lexus dealership! 🙂 My priority is same like you guys, i want to drive this car for long journey to relax and enjoy in it to be comfortable etcs... i am not a car racing driver... but i bet car will be much better compared to my current one japanese car from 1993.

Hi i dont live in the uk, and i am looking for the car in the whole Europe 🙂 so i can import car from every country in the Eu or i can import 1 from USA/Canada as well. Can someone confirm is the regular suspention for LS430 adaptive can you change hard/soft of the suspention dampers or its regular ? In regular i mean in less levels trims or once air suspention have been converted to regular.

Hi i am from Bg here we drive left hand drive and if car is imported you pay expensive shipping of the car + custom fees and other taxes , it doesnt matter from where car is curently the cheapest car. Which can be imported final price with everything starts at 10.000 gbp as a min.it doesnt matter older or newer car taxes and shipping are simular we cant drive also here right hand .

Hi in my country not many cars are available, so i need to source from abroad one and i can rely on pictures and videos only. For how much did you bought your car and how much you spend on repairs so far 🙂 ? So far i find normal price around 10.000gbp for left hand drive without service history unfortunately... not sure if this is a good or bad price... My maximum budget for left hand drive is max 10k gbp.For that amount i can find without proper maintenance and service history.

bladest started following LS 430 3rd is it the best riding car compared to others? and My final goodbye to my GS 450h

Hi everyone, i just to say, My final goodbye to my GS 450h i use to own gs 450h 4th gen, it was bought and exported to another country this week.Person come test it drive it saw it inspected everything negotiated big discount on the price and thats it. My car was really amazing, 4th generation gs450h with adaptive dampers, big front brakes great fuel economy 5.2 litres best per 100km and worst 7.5litres per 100km. It had night vision, 18 way front seat cooled heated seats , heat window + wipers. Mark levinson adaptive cruise control president line with extra 2 buttons of the passenger seat, led high and low beams with AFS. it was my first Lexus, and it was great amazing car i will miss the car a lot. i owned car for approximately almost 2 years. Due to my wife parting away with me and loosing my job , that was the main reason for the car sale.It was difficult decision to make, i fully serviced the car everything suspention, gearbox and etcs.... all with original parts. Car had really tons of features including drive aware system and electric heater etcs... everything + water package. I always cleaned car with the most expensive and best possible options like cleaning solutions from abroad like USA/Europe, and vacuum clean it with dyson with portable batteries... for the leather i used 5 different chemicals in order to be soft i even bought gs f floor mats. Which i sadly used very few times because car was sold... just after i replaced the whole suspention car was sold at huge loose as well.. The best car i ever had, may be the only good replacement and upgrade for it will be some day LS 5th gen or new generation gs... if they creat 5th generation.. i can go with ls430 but we will see.

i want good rust prevention from the factory i dont plan to spend 20.000 euro to fully galvanize and protect the car.... Thanks for your feedback i will definetely go with LS430 , is your car with air suspention currently ? Also what is the other option for suspention ordinary or adaptive struts/shocks suspention like adaptive dampers ? Also do you see any rust in your car somewhere and do you keep in parking garage or outside ? Also, i have noticed some ls430 cars have seats in bad shape, is it easy to change the leather or the car will make totally different compared to the factory leather?

Thank you all for the feedback ,how about rust protection ? Where i live it rains a lot and cars rust a lot specially Lexus and japanese cars my previous car was rusty a lot... if i pick 3rd gen LS, will i have some decent rust / corrosion resistance or i need to go with 1st and 2nd gen LS? I also like and find 3rd gen cool car. 🙂 i know that some people convert them to shocks and struts instead of air due to the price.

lexus gs 450h 4th generation what engine oil i should use?
bladest replied to bladest's topic in Engine & Transmission
Hi i have 3 cars, i will not drive Gs that much miles each year so i cant do 2 oil changes i dont do to any of my car 2 oil changes per year.I see you own is 250 , are you sure this manual is for gs450h 4th generation? So is 5w 30 the best choise for 90% highway drive and 10% city drive with Gs450h 4th generation ? Unfortunately i dont have the manual for my car... since it was imported from non english speaking country... Will i have any issues with 5w 30 in the winter here sometimes temperatures gets -10 degrees in the winter, for my other older cars i use 5w 30 but they are older cars...Sometimes even in the winter we have 20 degrees of temperature so most of the time its summer or spring here winter is non existing any more due to global warming.. Also how about 0w 40 is it better than 5w 30 ? I have friends with newer car for which also 0w 20 is adviced from dealer but they are using 0w40 instead, and i know for sure that most dealership in europe are using instead of 0w 20 either 5w 30 or 5w 40 , but i dont understand the difference between these two . -
Hi all i have GS450H lexus 4th generation year 2012, in Europe most dealership never use 0w 20, they simply put whatever they have for example 5w 30 or 5w 40, Also i had other japanese cars same year 2012 or up, and when i used 0w 20 on hot summer temperature specially highway driving this oil evaporates or it becames like water, so i always receive low oil pressure light.... so oil needs to be added in order light to became off , according to GS 4TH gen specs these are most common oils. 0W-20 5W-20 5W-30 I wonder can i use either 0w 40 or 5w 30 or 5w 40 i dont want to damage the car engine and i also dont want to have issues when temperatures are hot. i live in Bg, so here we dont have winter or harsh winter like other countries... Which one of the oils should i pick 0w 40 or 5w 30 or 5w 40 , since 0w 20 becames water for high revs and rpm and highway drive and i dont want to bring always oil with me and to stop to add etcs....
