19 hrs to go and the Green bid remains unchanged. I guess I wonder why did he not put a new MOT on it? Surely, if he is as confident in it as he sounds it would have been a minimal cost and yet would surely have made it incrementally more saleable. Am I wrong there? Do people not have much interest in a current MOT?

[Boomer54]

Of course why should I even care? I already have two great cars.

Damn it, it's GREEN and my colour of envy is definitely rocking my boat!

[Mossypossy]

Just buy it. Then we will all be green with envy.

Even as a spares car. Sure your capacious drive can cope.

[Bob King]

Difficult to work out the possible  reserve price, he could be looking for 5k or even 6-7k🤔

50 mins to go and at £4301, but reserve not met. Looking like a relisting.

Do you have a plan of action now ?

Call me Mystic Meg

[Gedwood]

You realise that wasn't my car with a reserve not met? Mine's a classified, fixed price (with offers). Mine's still up there til end of month.

Booked in 19th for MOT, to give it 13 months, assuming it scrapes through, so should add value if still up there.

I notice Bob & Boomer have crowns on their logos, party for Mossy, but the best they can manage for me is someone touching their toes, standing in a washing up bowl. I know, you can't 'unsee' it now....

[Bob King]

Don’t feel bad about not having a Crown….it mean … we don’t get out much and spend too much on the forum !😁😁

[Boomer54]

The Green one is back on eBay. Current bid £3871 ending in 4 days if anyone is interested. London based and no MOT ,or way to inspect it, rules it out for me. Indeed, my problem is I have two cars I like very much and I would have to sell one to buy another and that's not happening shy of some 'miracle' car coming up. No matter how much I argue about this negative stimulation from her who rules all she is not for shifting! I have told her my mental health is in jeopardy, but she says what's new? C'est la vie.

This one almost seems suspiciously cheap if its all good .

Rare in Kalahari Sand.

Reasonable mot history .

Cheaper road tax.

Headlamp bulb blown…that’s a bumper off to replace ☹️

1 owner, mileage on the high side though?

Mileage is a tricky one and not with this car but Lexus in general, what would be better a 60k with no service history or full Lexus history with 120k on the clock ?

   A well maintained Lexus should be good for 250k 👍🏻

at 60k it’s inconceivable it wouldn’t have early years Main Dealer history, somewhere  ……. at 120k miles a jolly good full service should suffice to give one confidence …… you’re only going to buy the car if it runs and sounds ok ……. and budget for cambelt waterpump and other stuff like brakes and tyres that reveal MOT issues ……… and then good for at least half a million miles 🤔👍
