Hey guys,
Yesterday, I bought a 2008 GS450h with low mileage. The car is in great condition, except for 4 out of 20 battery cells that need to be replaced. The seller agreed to fix this. Unfortunately, my previous car, an LS430 Ultra Luxury, got flooded in the heavy rain last week. It was hard to find a replacement since only 28 of them were sold in my country. But instead, I found a nearly perfect GS450h, which is even more rare in my region. Only three of these 3rd gen models have been sold here. I did a thorough inspection before buying it and now I'm a proud GS450h owner. I'd like your input on some topics:

- Which tires do you recommend? My research led me to Hakook Ventus S1 Evo2 and Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX 060+ . Both are in the same price range and are available in my country. For reference, Conti, Michelin and Goodyear F1 are at least double the price of those Hankook and Dunlop.
- Any specific preventive maintenance should be done apart form engine and brake oil change?
- How to get Android auto to work on the cheap? I saw that GROM Vline2 is a great solution, but it is on the expensive side...

thanks in advance!

Can only advice on second point. Get inverter coolant replaced at some point,old fluid can kill inverter coolant pump. Also,if its low mileage,having gearbox and diff oil replaced wouldnt be a bad idea.
