Time for a new daily and as most of us here, I struggle with the routine, even in daily hacks.
I find I need something even remotely interesting to ensure the daily drive doesn't tire me.
I began looking at mk2 Lexus gs300s and Aristos, but the aristo was stupid expensive for what it was (JDM Tax) and the gs300 just wasn't frugal enough.
Kicked into looking at hybrids, again random older insights etc, and then remembers the gs450h from the 5th Gear Team drive days.
Went and seen a few and they where rough, then this one in Manchester popped up.
3 owner car, full Lexus service history from new inc. battery health checks etc.
For those who are interested this is the 3.5l V6 with the hybrid battery options.
The deal was done after WhatsApp chats and videos and then flew over yesterday for it.
My dad turns 70 next month so brought him with me and surprised him with an Old Trafford Tour and meal. Proper dad son memories made.
The car drives sublime, 99k on it, but honestly not so much a rattle/squeek or even mark on the interior.
Wheels need a light refurb at some point and need a door ding taken out but apart from that, a good polish and wax.
getting 38mpg motorways and 34mpg mixed which im happy with as the car weighs a ton and is sub 6 to 60 lol
Photos
(are ya even on a boat....)
Shes proper big but goes well.
Will get some more photos over next few days, but the spec is hilarious for 2009 inc keyless entry, rear folding sunblinds etc.
Liverpool Sunset as we left
Belfast as we arrived
