ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion - Just bought my first car! GS450H!

Hi everyone,

Just would like to re-introduce myself. My name is Kyle and I just bought my first car (completely in my name and my own credit). I'm 23 years old and am in LOVE with this car. This is my 2nd Lexus, as my first was my old 96 LS400. I had that car for 2 years and put 60,000 miles on it trouble free!

I've had this for almost 2 weeks now.

It's a:

2007 GS450h
77k miles
ML Audio/Nav
Sport/Norm suspension

I bought it from my local used Lexus dealer. They had the car for over a year. It's kinda difficult to sell a used Hybrid in Alabama (especially if it isn't a Prius), as most locals think Hybrids are the DEVIL (insert Bobby Bouche's momma). I would up getting it for $25,200, with brand new floor mats and 2 free oil changes. I also bought an extended warranty through Lexus for 50k miles, so no worries here!

So far i've been getting anywhere from 25-33mpg overall and have already installed a Joe Z intake for hopefully even better mileage.

444 estimated range on this tank! (93 no ethanol).

I bought a set of used Vossen VVS084 wheels. They are 20x9 & 20x11. I'm going to be dropping them off at a buddy's shop for him to clean & polish them up. Not a bad deal for $800!

I hope to get them cleaned up and order tires for them within the next 2 weeks.

Hope I can be a good contributing member here and look forward to learning quite a bit!
