New ls400

[Chasdad]

I bought this off of a member on here as a stop gap for for the wife. Very nice chap who even delivered it. Changed the wheels . Amazing what difference even a knocked about set of dhp wheels have made

[Bluesman]

Lifts the whole look of the car.

Much better, nice colour car as well.

[Colin M]

Yes, a big improvement- it's even given the paintwork on the car a better shine!

Never been a fan of grey or black wheels - silver always look much better to me.

That's because I polished her before delivering😀. Glad you are enjoying her. Btw the black wheels were work in progress, but I should have just bought some dhp ones like John, they look fab on her.

If youve not got anything by the time we get my wife her new car tom its all yours. I stripped back 2 original right back to the shiny alloy. Not in good condition tom

Just wondered if you had forgotten how good the LS 400 rides - compared with the the LS430?

 

Sorry John, I am only teasing!

[Chris Skelton]

LPG too! Excellent!

 

Does that count as 'Parked on private land'.....?

I think they're both great cars to drive, and unlike any car I've owned the Lexus is the only one I've always looked for an excuse to go somewhere in, simply because it's such a pleasure.  I'm not sure I could say the difference between the two is that noticeable but I just prefer the interior of the LS430.  It has a fine cabin and is a nice place to be.....but so is the LS400.  However, if I was offered a swap for the 60's Cadillac I saw at a show today I'd do it, just for the fun of having something so enormous there would be absolutely nowhere to park it!

[Chasdad]

Dont laugh but im thinking the same about either a nissan cube or toyota bb

[Chasdad]

Just gave the old girl a bit of a deep clean and polish. Big fan of the colour now

[cruisermark]

lovely looking car ! enjoy

[Bluesman]

What a difference a little elbow grease can achieve.

 

[Chasdad]

Looks good for 210k

[Titch LS]

Looks great, same colour as mine, but mine has the standard (non DHP) wheels. I use Autoglym Super Resin polish; once dry, easiest and shiniest to use ever. Unlike most polishes, it goes on really well in bright sunlight on warm paintwork. Fantastic stuff.

[Chasdad]

I used the blue simoniz stuff.after componding it with a da. Quite good .makes a mess of your hands though

[Chasdad]

Well that was short lived . Got the car how i liked it and the wife says its got to go to fund the fiesta learner car she needs to have to become an instructor. Thought id have a few months at least. Sold to a scot sight unseen. Back to driving my work van again😐

The ls430 must be good then

 

ive not stopped smiling since I bought my ls400!!!!

[Chasdad]

Thats going too. Bloody fiesta

[Malc]

.................... but the beauty of it all can only be that the extra ££££££s she's earning will result in a massive surprise at your next birthday of a gift wrapped Ls600

[Chasdad]

I wished.  She has no interest in cars whatever.  Thats why i have my own that i can pamper and keep clean. Going to save up for an nissan elgrand eventually
