Looking For A Mint Ls430

[Colin Roberts GS]

Hi All,

I'm in the market for another Lexus to go with my GS300 Sport. I'm looking for a Mint LS430 with around 50k on the clock full history etc etc you know how it goes prefer the face lift model and the younger the better. If you have one or know someone with one drop me a reply on here and we can see if we can put a deal together.

Cheers Colin

theres a 05 plate with 53k on the clock available on auto trader ireland - this is originally a UK car serviced by lexus hull so will just need an MOT and registering - the seller comes to the UK for work purposes - i think the cambelt is due though but other than that it sounds and looks a good car

If the vendor sells to a Brit he will get a refund of his unused NCT (around 1,000 euro) and a refund of the original import duty, which could be a similar sum. Should create room for discussion on the price . . .

I have been emailing the vendor who is looking for £7250.00 cam belt and water pump done February this year serviced every year looks a lovely car and a fair price. Good LS430 seem few and far between and with this history and mileage should keep going for many years to come.

It certainly looks nice, but at that value he will get a substantial slug of import duty back. You can get a calculation online, so maybe do that and ask for a matching reduction? It's a 10 year old car that costs 1800euro a year to tax in Ireland, which means he will struggle to get a buyer there.

Cheek!! I could name a coil suspended one right now, but in this mini dictatorship that is verboten, so I won't.
