MkIV LS400 for sale

[Spacewagon52]

Local to me is an LS 400 for sale - MkIV - bronze with I years MOT. I do not think it has been used very much, as it always appears to be in the drive. It is not garaged.

Beige leather interior, sign on the window says £1500. Only had a quick look but apart from the wheels it looked in good condition. Gold badges. Just thought I would give the heads-up as it might be worth investigating as the MkIV's are getting hard to find. It has the numberplate L400  **P(?) - not sure if that would be sold with the car or not. I knocked on the door but there was no one in. Will try and get more details when I pass again.

The 113k miles are not bad for that year the ferrules are not a problem at most new brake hoses and new pads .

Tyre will be out of date anyway if it is cracked .

The oil leak could be coming from the transmission, power steering and is usually not an engine oil leak on the LS400 if it is then I would want to take a look before making any purchasing decisions.

The LS400 that I had for a very short time early this year had an oil leak from both sides of the engine, it seemed to be from the rocker covers but I couldn't be sure, but it was enough to make oil burn on the exhaust.  Very unusual for an LS400.

213K miles! They DO last well.

Less than the price of a day's shooting on his estate maybe

That ls400 looks so familier. It looks like he's taken the photo outside lexuschaps place. Infact I think lexuschap advertised this car on eBay not long ago and he's used his pictures

[cruisermark]
