vehicle description:

HERE I HAVE A LOVELY AND REALLY QUITE RARE Lexus GS45H HYBRID, FINISHED IN GORGEOUS BLUE PEARL WITH FULL SUSSEX LEATHER INTERIOR, SHE HAS FANTASTIC SPEC BEING THE MEGA SPEC SE MODEL WITH FULL SPEC & IT LOOKS SIMPLY FANTASTIC & IS A STUNNING CAR IN EVERY WAY.
SHE ALSO COMES WITH FULL BOOK PACK WITH ALL MANUALS INCLUDING THE ALL IMPORTANT SERVICE BOOK WITH A FULL Lexus SERVICE HISTORY UP TO 57,000 MILES & THEN IVE HAD IT SERVICED AT A LOCAL GARAGE LESS THAN 3000 MILES AGO.
For 2008, the unique GS 450h shares the front style refreshing of the GS 350 and GS 460 models, including revised front fascias with a new front bumper and lower intake design and a new chrome grille surround. All GS models gain side view mirror turn signals, and the GS 450h adds a hybrid-exclusive exterior color, Blue Opal Mica, and also gains additional blue hybrid highlights.
The 2008 GS instrument panel has been revised, and a new brushed-aluminum shift-plate surround and wood-trim door switch plates accentuate the interior elegance. A VDIM cutoff switch has also been added to allow the driver to disengage the stability system when appropriate.
With its advanced technology, high performance and indulgent luxury, the rear-wheel-drive 2008 GS 450h is the premium model in the GS series. In addition to boosting performance and fuel efficiency while lowering emissions, Lexus Hybrid Drive technology also further elevates the brand’s renowned smooth, quiet operation.
Looks like a limo, but I suppose if David Cameron has one, it must be green…
We’re not sure how much Tory-boy’s ‘celebrity’ endorsement is worth, but the Lexus GS450H is probably the most technically advanced ‘green’ car currently available as a standard-production model. It’s a big executive saloon with a premium badge and is priced accordingly, from £38,068. But that high price allows Lexus to include one of the most sophisticated powertrains offered in any car, at any price. Lexus doesn’t make much profit on these. The GS450H will hit 60mph in just 5.9 seconds (BMW 550i: 5.6 seconds) yet return a claimed 35.8mpg and emit just 186g/km of CO2 when most of its rivals are off the company car-tax dial.
But it’s just a posh Prius, right? What’s so special about it?
Yes, it’s a hybrid. But even without the help of the electric motor, the 3.5-litre petrol V6 (with 292bhp and unique twin direct-injection ports in each cylinder) has the lowest NOx and hydrocarbon emissions of any internal combustion engine. Fed by a 288V nickel metal-hydride battery pack behind the rear seats, the electric motor has its own two-speed gearbox and gives 197bhp and an instant 203lb ft of torque. Like the Prius, it can propel the car silently and unaided at low speeds and light throttle openings. Working together, the petrol and electric motors make 341bhp. Sadly, you can’t just add the two power outputs together.
Faster and greener? Sounds like a no-brainer, if you can afford it.
If you’re a company car tax payer or drive into central London you’re unlikely to care what the real figures are. The GS450H is congestion charge exempt simply by being a hybrid, and the official CO2 stat means it is taxed at 21 percent. Most of its rivals get hit for the maximum 35 percent. So for some, it’s a financial no-brainer.
Please tell me that the Lexus quality lives up to billing…
Oh yes. The GS450H is magnificently made. The cabin, like the exterior, might not be particularly thrilling to look at but it is constructed with a precision to shame its rivals and the ergonomics are pretty much beyond reproach. The touch-screen controlling most of the cabin functions is the star turn, making a very complex car very easy to use and making you wonder why Audi and BMW persist with i-Drive style rotary controllers. And of course it displays graphs and charts tracking your consumption and the workings of the hybrid system, just like the Prius.
Verdict
There are lots of reasons to choose a GS450H: the financial benefits, the pace, the cabin, the slightly anoraky pleasure to be had from its in-your-face technology, or the desire to be a little greener.

IN SUMMARY THIS IS A GENUINE 1 OWNER CAR WITH ALL BUT ONE SERVICE IT HAS FULL Lexus HISTORY & COMES WITH GREAT SPEC BEING THE SE NAV MODEL & REALLY IS A LOVELY MODERN & QUITE EXCITING & FAIRLY RARE LUXURY HYBRID WITH THE DESIRABLE 3.5Ltr CHAIN DRIVEN ENGINE THAT CAN DELIVER 35+MPG & HAS CHEAP ROAD TAX & IS CONGESTION CHARGE FREE AS WELL, SO SURELY THE ONE TO HAVE IF YOU LIKE CLASSY CARS THAT COST NEXT TO NOTHING TO RUN, ESPECIALLY IN BEST COLOUR BLUE PEARL, IT DRIVES ABSOLUTELY FAULTLESS, SO IS READY TO DRIVE AWAY EFFORTLESSLY. IF YOU LET THIS CAR GO WHEN YOUR SERIOUS ABOUT ONE YOU"D HAVE TO BE A FOOL AS THEY GENERALLY DON"T COME UP LIKE THIS ON EBAY, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY COMMAND A PREMIUM ON AUTORADER SITES AND THE LIKE WHERE THEY START AT AROUND £8000 & THATS NOT AS WELL CARED FOR & SPECCED UP AN EXAMPLE LIKE THIS WITH VIRTUALLY FULL Lexus HISTORY. I ENCOURAGE VIEWINGS SO PEOPLE CAN FULLY APPRECIATE WHAT A LOVELY EXAMPLE THIS IS HOWEVER TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT SOME POTENTIAL BIDDERS LIVE TO FAR AWAY SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME WITH AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU LIKE.
MANY THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING & GOOD LUCK
