Lexus GS 450h: how reliable?
Lexus GS 450h: how reliable? How good are they really? I have a 2006 GS 450h and the hybrid batteries failed. I was told by a Lexus garage they cost €4,500 approx to replace. Nice car to look at and drive but when they fail you won't buy another one - that's if you can sell it. It has 143k miles on the clock only. All I can say is don't buy one with over 70k on the clock. Maybe you have better ideas on this?

Is BMW axing the X5 sDrive25d?
I read that BMW is axing the X5 sDrive25d as it has been a poor seller. Is this true? I thought it was its big seller in Ireland at least.

How much VRT will I pay on importing a Kia cee'd?
Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing a Kia cee'd from the UK and the only information I have is that it is a 2010 model with 36,000 miles on the clock and will be five years old this coming December. Could you please give me some sort of idea regards the VRT I would have to pay to bring it into R.O.I?
