Tired Old Trade Langauge

[Tinonline]

Getting a little bit tired of the trade car sales spittle in the ads. I know, I should not read them then...

Most recent balls comments appearing on Lexus models and too frequently are "High Spec version" or similar. They are all high spec. Next up is bullet proof and reliability...only with a decent service history and some care.

I'm looking for an SC430 for my wife to replace the 2000 Jag S Type...yes the one I rattle on about once in a while.

My Year 2000 LS400 is irritatingly good. Shame Jag didn't match the build quality. (Engine top end oil leaks, air con pipe fractures, gearboxes, electrics - mystery draining Battery syndrome, coil over plugs no way as good quality as Lexus, front and rear suspension). Working on an S requires a gyno specialist with full equipment who needs to be 5ft tall with very thin arms. Although the water pump change is a doddle!

Work to do on the 400 will be on the front suspension, probs not much. Mileage? 79,000. (Jag has done 69k...with rear links and expensive front drop link - very normal).

Have a later S Jag? Nope: ZF gearbox regularly terminal. Engines are perfect though and the 4.2 is fine and without the cambelt nonsense...but it still won't do Lexus strato miles as far as we know yet.

One lady owner...surely that's a sexist comment and inferance...and illegal under multiple EU laws?

Back to the ads then...
