Wow, congrats WhyNotMe01!! Welcome to the hybrid world. I hope you stick around the forums, but there are only a handful of us hybrid owners that are active here.

Thank you for sharing a picture of your beauty; would love to see more of her when you get a chance. What kind of options does this vehicle include?

I literally had been searching for MONTHS until I could find the perfect GS450h for me. The car is so rare, so it was even tougher for me to find a slightly used vehicle back in 2014 when I was looking.

I'm sure many of us would love to hear your driving impressions after you put some miles on the car. What kind of Acura did you have? You might like reading this recent topic in the 4GS forum: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...lx-hybrid.html

Congrats again and look forward to your future posts,

~ Im2bz2p345

Thank you Im2bz2p345.

I have been Acura TL for the past 11 years where I had 2 Acura TL's.

However I believe I made the right choice. It is an awesome vehicle and I believe it find me!! It just happen to show up during my search for a F-Sport GS350 in the last two month.

I am very happy of being the owner of this beauty. I am looking forward to learn a few things from everyone on this forum.

The option includes:
all GS 350 with Premium & Luxury Package
equipment plus:
- Drive Mode Select adds Sport S+ mode
- Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with electronically
- controlled shock absorbers
- Heated steering wheel
- High-intensity interior heater
- Headlamp washers and
- Windshield-wiper deicer
- Water-repellent front-door glass
- Dynamic tachometer and Hybrid System Indicator,
based on selected drive mode
- Matte bamboo interior trim
- Rear valence with concealed exhaust outlets

Congrats on your recent purchase as well! It is a beauty......Love the Bamboo Steel wheel.

Automax is in Lilburn, about 30 miles from Alpharetta. They are an independent dealer that buys loads of off lease Lexus and Toyota cars directly from Toyota/Lexus finance. They wont negotiate. The price is the price.
