Another decent LS400?

[The-Acre]

They're all appearing in Yorkshire at the moment!

Looks OK this one.

This one has been sat around for years, in five years its done around 5k in the last 4 years its done 2K and for the last 12 months its just sat around. You need to look at this very carefully.

The one I've just bought was from Yorkshire too

Hope they've not been involved in any of the recent flooding !

Looks like a good genuine car, although the seller isn't replying to any questions yet.

looks nice clean and straight but on the flip side due to being standing there might be hidden problems

 

not he best of advert either - no mention of service history apart from the scrunched up MOT certificate

Cam belt done at 148k with Lexus and local garage service records.  If I hadn't paid a deposit on one where the dealer is beginning to try my patience I would certainly be interested in this.  I know you can't always tell but this does seem really genuine.

which one have you bought then - have you got a link?

It's the blue one in Pontefract, still listed on eBay. The heater blower wasn't working when Steve went to check it for me...and it's still not working nearly two weeks later! I've paid a deposit but its all painfully slow. The annoying thing is that I'm working in Liverpool tomorrow so I could easily pick it up on Friday if it was sorted.

[cruisermark]

ah yes - thats a very decent example - same colour as my mark 4  - very nice - hope you get it soon

[Bluesman]

I hope you get it soon all working properly. Mike.

At last we've agreed that I pick it up Friday lunchtime.  That should just about work out right for me hitting the M25 at rush hour!  A 250 mile drive home in a car that I haven't even sat in yet!!

And Mike, you were right, phoning the insurance company made no difference to the premium.

I'll hopefully post some photos in the next few days......However, I was very tempted today.  I was offered a mint XJ6 on an 04 plate with 120K for just £60 more than an S reg Lexus.  I convinced myself (and I hope I'm right) that the LS will still be going while the Jag spends many hours in car hospital.

I think you made the right decision, but then I would say that...  Have a good (and safe) journey home.  I can't think of a better car to do 250 miles in.

Thank you,

I'll give you a call soon so you can see it in the flesh/metal. It was seeing yours last week that made me glad I decided to get another one!

[Scribe]

Great.  They need to be introduced to each other!

I had lovely  xjr for all of a month.  It was a fair bit faster than the ls, it wasn't in the same league as it. So I think you made a good choice
