Id go for it. The interior and boot are both spacious enough to transport a Nigerian prince and his bootful of dollars that you'll help him snuggle to safety...

That ad is a scam.

The GS is a nice car, but I worry about the cost of replacing the battery pack at 7-9 years.

Agreed. I imagine it would cost well into four figures.

I'd definitely consider one and it would be top of the list. The battery packs are quite reliable but it is the other components of the hybrid system that can fail and can be expensive. But you have to bear in mind this is a £50k car when new. On a different league to the much beloved Omega.

Interesting...  The ad has just been withdrawn...  I wonder if the seller is the owner of the Omega and a visitor here :-\

I recon that a new battery pack would cast as much as the car.

This makes me wary on an 8 year old car.
