Here's a 2009 GS450h from Finland. Traded My 2006 IS250 for this on february. Have no regrets so far. Dark blue with grey/tan interior. Roughly 95k miles behind.
Congrats and welcome! I also have a 2011 450h (a white one). You scared about the hybrid battery failing?
Ha, A little bit, I actually had the dealer check it and they said it was fine. The car has a little less than 80k miles on it, so I'm hoping the battery will at least last another year or two.

Funny enough a few days ago the check hybrid system light came on, took it to the dealer, the code was P0A7F- hybrid battery deterioration, they recommended a replacement. The service tech admitted that the Lexus price of over $7500 was overpriced and suggested I get one from greenbean battery, which is what I did. They don't have the battery in stock of course so they will be building it and will install it in 5 weeks. It was a little under $3k installed after taxes and adding $150 to the price for a lifetime warranty on replacement.
Hi there folks! By absolute happenstance, I bought an 08GS 450h a couple of months ago! Exclusive Black Pearl Mica paint,152k miles (2K of those I put on myself), and I love this thing to death! I previously owned an 06 GS300, and that died on me because prev. owner let carbon build up and tear the engine apart. I was lucky that this 450h was in my area the same weekend that my 300 croaked. It came complete with full service history and all that. I thank this forum for being such a wealth of information, as I was able to soak up a ton of info on these models throughout my time lurking without an account. Looking forward to the future of being a member! Thanks!
