anyone any info or views on this ls400


Recommended Posts

I checked the MOT history on-line. The mileage checks out but there are some advisories; One of the Upper Control Arm bushings is worn slightly, the front discs need replacing and both front wheel bearings are noisy. Apart from that it seems a well looked after example. Just bear in mind that it will need a bit of money spent on it to bring it up to scratch.

cambelt was done in 2011 jon but only done about 5k since would that be ok for a few yrs

Its important that its been driven constantly as standing idle does more harm than good particularly to things like tyres and belts

It's hard to estimate how good a used car will be from an advert. I had a similar experience when I was looking out for a descent LS400.   I once went to view an "immaculate" example only to come away very disappointed. You can't always trust what you read. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, not everyone is up front when it comes to describing their cars.
