I am almost ready to buy my new car and debating whether its better to buy the used 600hl or a new GS 450h. I believe the prices are almost about the same but the GS will not have all the options because it will get to expensive.. This is the 600hl that I am looking at right now.

I would definitely go with the 600 for sure! New GS is nice, don't get me wrong, but I personally would go with the a used car rather than a new car, but that's just my opinion. Good luck!

Yea, I'm starting to lean towards the 600hl to, it has like everything. I'm still holding out for one with the executive seating package though..hehehe

Completely different cars, you really have to drive them both. The GS is much smaller, much sportier than the LS.

I'm partial because I have a 600..best decision I made

I'd go for the LS. The new GS is extremely nice, but nothing beats the LS600hl.

Cant compare a LS to a GS. Especially not the 600 its the second best vehicle Lexus has ever designed to only the LFA.

I would get the LS. I could have sold you a really nice Launch Edition one, but my business partner is more than happy to buy mine from me. I am leaving the Lexus world for now to get my new Tesla Model S Signature Performance Edition next week. Although it won't be as luxurious as my LS600hl, it will be much faster and I will never had to stop at a gas station again

As you noted earlier today, Jitty, "My how times have changed..."

roadfrog

Yep....very unfortunate. That said, I'd still get a 600 or any other hybrid in a heartbeat....especially as prices for Hybrid batteries decline. Confident enough that we bought a 2012 CT200

Thumbs up for the 600hl. More class.

superdenso

If this purchase is not all about mpg's. Then the thumbs up goes to the 600hl.
