  1. Might even be on 13 year old rubber. That's another £700.
  2. It takes a brave chap to surrender his car. I know for a fact I started to feel decidedly worried for other road users when my dad was at the wheel of his Landrover just prior to him giving up driving at about 84. I was a passenger and he was not the same driver that he used to be.
  3. Engine is fine, unstressed V6 good for many miles. Age is going to be the main thing that dictates price. Unless you know what the fault is you might end up paying £9000 for the car in the end. To accept the unknown hybrid problem I would want it at a lower price. That is just me.
  4. Not sure that low miles is the be all and end all. If that car had 100k miles and an unresolved check hybrid light I would think it worth £2500 max.
  5. He was driving the car with his wife a couple of weeks ago. Pulled over and said he did not think he was safe anymore, as his eyesight was not good enough. She drove home.
  6. My son is about to be gifted a three year old Hybrid Yaris in June from his grandfather who has sensibly agreed to give up driving. A voluntary decision at the age of 85. Ex traffic cop. I think the boy is very happy with the decision!
  7. Nothing for us to add until you hear one way or the other. Good luck and let us know the outcome.
  8. Indy garage replaced my radiator and put in fresh coolant. (GS450h) Is hybrid coolant a completely closed system? Car booked in with Lexus for a minor service soon. I can ask them to flush hybrid coolant if necessary.
  9. If car still runs then I would have thought light alone would not be a fail.
  10. Would have to be a good car in every other regard to tempt me. All gs450h drivers have the sure knowledge that eventually we will be faced with that little light of doom on the dashboard. Either pay up to fix or sell for peanuts.
  11. Lucky if seller can achieve £1k. You may end up paying £2k to resolve problem.
  12. I wonder if you got Lexus to supply and fit a new battery whether they would then guarantee THAT battery for another 15 years as they do with the original?
  13. Think this thread is getting tied in knots. See what I did there? Washed mine yesterday. Good for another 1kw of power output surely?
  14. This will maybe do the same job for a tenner? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373513923889
  15. Ooh don't tempt me! Can't actually think of any car I would want to replace it with. Maybe a Porsche.
  16. What we need is a software genius. My son does serious coding for medical robots but I doubt he could "unlock" the potential.
  17. Not sure it is as simple as adding the two potential horsepowers together. Will be delivering max bhp at different speeds. Obviously I would love to be proved wrong and have 483bhp!
  18. Not a huge job for a decent mechanic. Even easier if he has done it before on this car.
  19. Had my GS with a sunroof for a year now. Have used the sunroof ONCE!
  20. Battery can be fully charged in a few miles, yes. Don't expect good mpg for a 3 mile commute though.
  21. Mine had 94000 when I bought it. Also has a sunroof and is black on black.
