2008 gs450h opinions
HI, I'm not sure how this forum works so please forgive me if it's not the correct place for my question. I currently have a 2013 es300h with about 73K miles on it. I have the opportunity to purchase a 2008 GS450h for a very reasonable price. Maybe 65K miles. I had a 2008 GS350 before and LOVED that car. Any info or negative info on the 450h would be appreciated.

I've asked a moderator to move it for you.

Well I love my GS450h, will be keeping it for a long time. The CVT takes some getting used to, but it is very fast, quiet and comfortable, and I get to park it in Hybrid/LEV lots 
If you enjoy driving, I would take the RWD GS over any ES or FWD Lexus, it's a different and more engaging drive.

Never owned one, but they seem to be a overrated and over hyped vehicle.
Needs the expensive battery replaced every 5-10 years and they only manage a 5.5 second 0-60 despite all the "fast" talk.
If there is any proof otherwise I would love to be proven wrong...
