Lexus ls400 | eBay

going by present silly prices this car must be worth all of £7k in it's present condition

WOW boot is tiny 😆

The condition is key to this purchase, looks well cared for when it was in use and the engine issues will probably be because of fuel issues, deterioration and vacuum leaks.I don't think it is worth 7K now but a bit of TLC and knowledge it well might be.

It as very low mileage and the interior is crisp ,engine bay is filthy but not corroded so for a Mark 4 which is the last of the line it will be a good purchase for someone who is trying to get a good one.

Already sold - let’s see if it re-appears looking and driving very nice indeed with FSH

My concern would be, it has been left in a garden. If that was on long grass, rust underneath will be an issue.

Happened to a old BMW I traded in one time (with lots of faults) I never used to get it stamped at all but a few months later there it was on eBay with a FBMW Service history 😔 now its back off the the road with said faults on MOT failure.

FSH can easily be mis-stated / stamped-up ( fraud ) but MOTs seem to be less able to be fraudulently given these days ..... a change of speedo / dash can still be readily achieved even if she can't be wound-back as used to happen in olden times  ....... maybe still does !

If I was sorely tempted to purchase another older car ....  which is very doubtful unless catastrophe happened to my Lexii ......  I would try to check all the above and also VIN numbers too making sure the V5 checked out properly too ......  the great thing about these Ls400s is they can be made to look so prim and pristine with a good polish etc .....  which gives the crooks a head start

The price these Ls400s seem to be seeking these days allows car crooks the opportunity to do dastardly things methinks 

Just take huge care buying another eh !
