Doesn’t seem expensive seeing the 2mile tunnel avoiding Stonehenge is likely to cost £1.7bn  🥵

Foundations of Stonehenge are deep you know. Like an iceberg.

[Malc1]

But the proposed tunnel and roadway land to the side is just that, farmland under which the tunnel will go 😰

it’s a blooming nonsense methinks ……. in the name of preserving Heritage from non-fee paying eyes eh !

Doesn’t look like Steve has managed to change the title so I’ll open up a new thread for those of us wanting to discuss the cars coming onto the market.

Please don't, I've changed the title.

Well done Colin 👏🏻👏🏻

[finchy40]

Hi Colin.

Good work, luckily I didn’t title it the same anyway so we can carry on using this one. Haha.

It’s ok…… I’ve completely changed the title anyway so there isn’t any confusion.

The white doesn’t help the yellowing of the headlamps though does it!? That said, the gold Lexus badge blends in nicely. 😂

Gary,

Sorry for not getting back to you with pics of the throttle controller. Picked up a nasty allergic reaction that put me out of sorts for a week.

Hope these pics are clear . The settings are Eco (economy), Norm (Normal), and then 30 different settings for increasing the degree of air mixture to reduce the lag on acceleration. I don't like Eco and mainly run in Norm mode. Sometimes I let it rip with 1.9, 2.9 and 3.9. The higher the setting the less lag.

I wouldn't be without it even though I run mainly in Norm.

Gary here it is.

I am looking for something to use daily - interested in an SC430 - found a low mileage 2005 one but not sure what values these should go for...really new to the SC430, always admired them and we have an ES300h - but don't know where to start with pricing for an SC.

 

Any advice on pricing and what to look for?

 

furthermore - found this Isuzu dealer who has 2 for sale: Search Used Cars for sale in Great Glen, Leicestershire | Bob Gerard Ltd

 

Any thoughts?

 

Apologies if much of this has already been asked and said before in this and other threads - if so please ignore.

[Mossypossy]

Prices are very very high for any car with say 50,000 miles on.

100,000 mile cars are more affordable. Engines apparently good for 300,000 miles.

This thread would be a good read to get familiar with the SC430 👍🏻

The 2005 model you show above looks very tidy and presentable, parking sensors front and rear are a nice extra .

    Last years mot test commented on a rusty rear exhaust, I can see in the photos, it has an aftermarket stainless steel rear exhaust section (or maybe the whole thing)..you would need to ask to be sure .

cracked tyres want replacing before you buy .

The grey wheel refurbishment looks out of keeping with the car, so would look better back to silver.

Interior looks very clean for its age and cream does take more effort to maintain over black.

few cracks in the leather on the drivers seat , nothing a leather dye treatment wouldn’t fix .

Ask the dealer if it’s had a timing belt and water pump .

price is rather top heavy, yet good quality example can ask their own price .

as I say have a read of this thread and you’ll be an expert …or at least an armchair expert 😁😉

[Bob King]

Quick enlarge and brighten of rear of the car, its has twin after market exhaust boxes fitted…should sound nice without being over the top .

That got to be worth £300-500 to the vehicles value.

Actually the engines are good for 700,000 miles according to this:

 

 

Shame the rest of the car has been trashed,

[finchy40]

A lot of the sensibly priced cars seem to be moving quite swiftly now. There’s a lot that have been around for a while including Shipley. I’m sure if they’d kept the price at £6995 it would have gone by now but at £7995 there look like better ones around. 

[Bob King]

The white jap import and the late blue colour at 11995 and 12995 did sell last week .

   Yet a few others like the grey and two black ones are close to 6 months now 😮
