SC430 FOR SALE Chat

[GMB]

OK frustrated V8 fans I have found your next mode of transport - The GWM Souo from China.

Flat 8 cylinders 2000cc - 

 

 

The known specifications of the bikes are, in every instance, a step up compared to the Honda. Where the Gold Wing has an 1,833cc engine, the Souo has a 2,000cc one. Honda uses a seven-speed dual-clutch, semi-auto transmission. Souo has an eight-speed DCT. The Gold Wing has single overhead camshafts, while the Souo uses a DOHC layout, and most importantly the Honda has “only” six cylinders, and the Chinese rival uses eight.

Ah but would you want to patronise China over Japan ? 
Not for me for sure 🤫

But then I’d be catastrophic on a bike 🤣

Actually seen much worse MOT histories than the Green Godess. All the signs are this has been somebodys daily ride for the last 7 years ish. I take that as a good sign. Just a little blip of 5 months or so of in the MOT history , but hard to see why this might be a problem. The mileage all tallies so at worst somebody drove without MOT for awhile, or may be it was Sorned. If it was closer to me I'd be out for a look, but instead I will have to see if it still around in a couple of weeks.

Available thru a deceased estate being wound up maybe …… just clearing up the loose odds and ends !

Might be an absolute gift for someone 🤔

Wow, rare colour and cheap. I had a BMW Z3 M Coupe in the same colour which I loved. I only sold it because I rarely used it. In hindsight I should have keep it as they are worth a fortune now. Even though I don’t use the SC much either it’s not going anywhere although I can’t see them going up much in value but it’s a much nicer car to drive than the BMW was.

It was taken in P/X according to the advert. Still it certainly looks priced to sell.

For a very modest fee I could enrol you in my school for forlorn huubbies aptly called "Charmed R Us". Never be concerned about spousal rage ever again. Consign your manshed to the storage of tools et al rather than a bunker facility.

Advice to forlorn and tolerated hubbies and the secret of growing older in a marriage is to not take the bait for an argument.

[Mossypossy]

Think a spare SC might be considered fair bait.

[Mossypossy]

How many of us thinking that we might have over paid for ours?

One on Facebook in Northern Ireland. No price but big spender.

That belongs to Nick or nicnac as he was on the Lexus World site.

light restoration top to bottom , totally painted underside, new brakes , genuine full exhaust, reluctor rings replace , new genuine wheels, new tyres ,as Nicks a retired aircraft engineer I can’t see someone buying a better more pampered car .

 Nick just need to decide what’s it now

When I bought my SC 3 years ago I didn’t even mention to my wife I was tentatively looking at buying another car. I just told her that I had seen a car for sale and was ringing up the next day to buy it. Bad timing as we were going on holiday the same day. I think she is just about over it now bless her.

It’s a shame Lexusworld went tit’s up there were such nice people on it and an enormous amount of useful information. Love the Tourmaline wheels on Nick’s car I did consider getting those myself but they are not easy to find.

Just noticed the green one on Autotrader is Cat D.  Hence the low price

[Bob King]

This one is a rare colour but I’m lost for words with the wheel choice 😮

Ha, but that is just the 1 of the Charmed 101 class. Just think what you can do with the other 100! You too can make spousal fury a thing of the past. Indeed, in step 69 she will be asking you to buy that car.

[Gedwood]

Ah, phew. Was getting concerned why the green one was giveaway. Only one I found on eBay or autotrader below £5G was the one where the owner is emigrating… leaves mine open for a 4500 Ono? Cmon , somebody there wants it, doncha?

That's not N Ireland. The sun is shining. I rest my case (preferably at the airport en route to sunnier climates).

I think it is fair to say 134k on the clock for the Green Godess is a limiting factor. Personally not too bothered by that, but Mr Market tends to have a different view.

[Malc1]

134k for the Lexus V8 at that age is a mere smidgeon …… go check it out with £1500 in your back pocket and it’s probably yours to drive away 

Might be simply his profit on the p/ex he sold 

Desperate for someone here, knowledgeable to go C it for us all please

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a great little runner with tiny bits and bobs to bring it to eggzellent knic 

Go4it sum1 please

I think they are, or early 924. The green one, I wouldn't want at any price on Cat D.
