Default My final goodbye to my GS 450h

Hi everyone, i just to say,

My final goodbye to my GS 450h i use to own gs 450h 4th gen, it was bought and exported to another country this week.








.Person come test it drive it saw it inspected everything negotiated big discount on the price and thats it.

My car was really amazing,

4th generation gs450h with adaptive dampers, big front brakes

great fuel economy 5.2 litres best per 100km and worst 7.5litres per 100km.

It had night vision, 18 way front seat cooled heated seats , heat window + wipers.

Mark levinson adaptive cruise control president line with extra 2 buttons of the passenger seat,

led high and low beams with AFS.

it was my first Lexus, and it was great amazing car i will miss the car a lot.

i owned car for approximately almost 2 years.

Due to my wife parting away with me and loosing my job , that was the main reason for the car sale.It was difficult decision to make, i fully serviced the car everything suspention, gearbox and etcs.... all with original parts. Car had really tons of features including drive aware system and electric heater etcs... everything + water package.

I always cleaned car with the most expensive and best possible options like cleaning solutions from abroad like USA/Europe, and vacuum clean it with dyson with portable batteries...

for the leather i used 5 different chemicals in order to be soft i even bought gs f floor mats.

Which i sadly used very few times because car was sold... just after i replaced the whole suspention car was sold at huge loose as well..

The best car i ever had, may be the only good replacement and upgrade for it will be some day LS 5th gen or new generation gs... if they creat 5th generation..
i can go with ls430 but we will see.

Sorry to hear of the circumstances for the sale, but it always seemed that the car was causing you a lot of anxiety, so congratulations on being rid of that!

My classical cars was also making me trouble for the last 20 years but i still drive one of them, there is not a perfect car only brand new one but even then can give you trouble related with bad software , defective parts, recalls etcs.

This looks a lot better than you have been describing as a rust bucket.

Best of luck to you.

Congrats. Finally you made the right decision to move on from it. The worry and the anxiety it gave you was no good!

Great car and I am pretty sure you will miss it. You didn't have a choice considering circumstances, so feel sorry for that part.

Hopefully in the near future i will get GS F or LS, i really enjoy and i will love to stay with LEXUS brand as much as brand exists.
I never had a more comfortable car, and also more reliable car,my classical cars brake more often so i am used to repairs..

Sorry about the circumstances.

I'" glad you can be upbeat with wife and job situation, but I'm glad this is not another worry on your head.

Sorry to hear about the reason for the sale, but congrats to you on getting rid of a car that you were constantly worrying about.. more worrying than enjoying which is not what I would want from any car.


If you get a 5th Gen LS, their subforum has no idea what fun is in store for them

It good to be able to put things behind you and move on if they are not right sometimes. There are somethings that you cannot control but in most cases you can control yourself. I hope you move on for better and gain more happiness in your life.
