    i’m 19 years old, and i’ve just bought a 2008 GS450H Sport (as my second car) - no one really knows the sport trim exists and there’s 60 left on the UK roads so it’s a bit of a gem. lemme just say, best purchase i’ve ever made.

    Tip: The TPMS (tyre pressure monitor sensors) die every 5-15 years. Lexus will charge around £250-320 per a sensor to supply and fit. Instead go to Costco , they charge £40 each (supply, programme and fit) or some other tyre shops will charge you around £75 each. They need to clone the hex-ID from the old sensor and port that onto the new sensor so your car thinks it's using the old sensor.

    My wife owned two Mercedes before we put her in a 09 Lexus GS350 Sapphire Pearl in color w/150K on it. &nbsp;Almost two years later, NO REGRETS!!!

    &quot;Every time I am behind a Lexus it&apos;s slow and I am stuck&quot; well &quot;Every time I am behind a Mercedes its broken down in the middle of the road&quot;.

    I have this car. Just did a nice wee 3000 miles through Spain, France and the UK. A very comfortable place to be, even in 39°c.

    I bought a 2007 GS 450h a year ago. 123k on the clock full service history £2750 and everything works on it. Best car I&apos;ve ever had. Absolute mile muncher and nobody really knowing what it is is a bonus 😁

    Shhh!! Don’t tell anyone how good this car is!! <br><br>On a lighter note, fun fact, this was technically the first ever mass produced ‘performance’ hybrid ever. Once again Toyota making hybrid moves.

    I have the GS450h 2012 (newer shape) and it&apos;s the same engine and I love it... It&apos;s smooth and refined when I need it to be, and the sport mode aligned with the 3.5 V6 just Roars and throws people back in there sits. <br><br>People focus on finding the &quot;One&quot; in terms of love and I have found mine for sure. Thank you Lexus
