Trade in a 09' GS460 for a 08' ISF With the addition of $8k... Since a reasonable price for my car here is around $53K. Bare in mind that there are only 3-4 ISF in my country.

It's a little subjective. If I didn't have kids, yes, I'd go for it. But since I put my kids in my car once in a while, the ISF is too small in the back.

It all depends on what sort of after sales warranty you are getting. There is a reason why ISF's were not sold here, so please do keep that in mind.

We only have 91 Octane fuel with Sulfur contents. Hence why Lexus decided it was not offering warranty on their DFI cars.

I think they decided to start offering DFI cars, since the LS600h is sold here, and is a DFI car.

Yes but hybrid cars do not have extensive use of gasoline power. Especially in Bahrain where its all slow traffic.

Well, I think that pretty much sums it up and answers your own question. Go get it! This will obviously make you happy!
