Here's the deal:
I want to buy gs450h 2008, but I am scared of it's age, hence asking for more opinions.
Here's the deal:
- gs450h 2008
- price is not set, but I assume 10-15k
- 180k milage
- 2nd owned, I will be the third
- no crashes, to my knowledge
- maintained in a local lexus dealership with a history book
- the guy is changing the shock absorbers this month, costs him around 1800 eur in total, estonian market
- no issues during checkup, next one scheduled this month, April 2018
- non basic equipment, hard to say what's inside, please ask then I might find out directly from the owner
- battery - how to check it, what to keep in mind and etc?
- 5th cylinder - please help here, why is it important, how to check?
- thorough body inspection, rust or maybe 1st owner was not completely honest e.g. check if trunk has been wielded together after a crash, apparently if not done right, ventilation flow won't be as designed then the battery will overheat which will lead to issues
- check oil pump, but why and how?
- check if oil in the transmission has to be changed, if not then when and how do I check that?
- check stickers on all elements: doors, windows, trunk, whatnot... to ensure all body parts are original or else chances are it has been in a crash - thoughts on this?
- check all air filters, but why and how important this is?
- what else?
