Petrolheads looking for something a bit plush can find a Lexus GS for under £5,000.

The executive saloon, which has existed over four generations from 1993 through to 2020, is classed as a 'performance sedan' and can hit a top speed of 155 mph - if you get the right example.

Brilliantly, that means it can match the speed of the iconic BMW M3 model from 2023.

We found a 2007 GS for just £4,375 on AutoTrader with 106,000 miles on the clock.

Featuring a 3.5-litre V6 motor that's a petrol hybrid, it produces 341 bhp with an impressive 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds.

Better yet, Lexus cars are notoriously reliable and owners seldom report problems - even on second-hand models that are a few years older.

The listing for the example we found described the motor as "good on fuel, mechanically very good" with the "interior very clean and everything works."

It even boasts a full beige leather interior with wood trim effect.

This comes as Lexus recently slashed prices by £1000s off the price of most of its lineup, including a £7,000 cut on an entry-level model.

The most notable cut is for the base-level UX 300e electric SUV, which will be reduced by £7,100 to a still hefty £40,795.

The larger RZ 450e has also seen its value fall by £2,100, leaving it at £57,895.

Likewise, both of the brand's headline hybrid offerings, the NX 450h+ and RX 450h+, have both dropped.

The former has sunk by almost £5,000 to £49,995, while the later has seen a smaller cut from £67,100 to £63,995.

Drivers can also get behind the wheel of a 1990s Lexus that is still wonderfully refined - and it's just £4,000.
