Anyone familiar with this LS

Anyone familiar with this car?  What do you think of the price?

I noticed the front number plate has been changed since the review video, makes you wonder why...? (not the back)

 

And of course, the change of wheels is a bit of a mystery (current owner brought the car like it)

 

Car's not taxed either, - so I'm baffled how it's going to be test driven

 

Strangely, I discovered the same car having a review here, unfortunately I can't understand a word, not that it matters now

Hi James, 

Nope dont know it, however if you set subtitles you can set it to auto translate to English. He says he's owned the car 3 weeks (in Poland) and is its 3rd owner.

James hi, were you thinking to buy it and replace your own ?

Thanks Stan.

Yes Malc, that's what I was thinking.

Ah thank you - I picked up that he brought it for £3,500 8 years ago, - same price that it's up for sale for today 😁

My first LS430 cost £3495 in 2012 - it was a 04 facelift 😀

Would you say that that was a fair price today, for the above, with 177k on the clock?

The Cayenne is an amazing piece of kit, but it has a few VERY expensive common faults.
If you are going down that route, join the Cayenne forum first and have your eyes opened.
Also worth finding the Wheeler Dealers episode where they do a Cayenne Turbo S.

I would say that £3,500 is a decent price for a 177k LS430, but it depends on condition and maintenance history.
I paid £4,400 for mine in 2018 with 91k miles.

A few years go I was thinking about getting a used Cayenne, but my friend at the time was a  Porsche Exec and he strongly advised me against it, lots of problems apparently. I'm sorry I cant remember what they were now?

I think i'd love driving one, but I can't be doing with the craziness... so will stick with an LS430... if I can find one I like... else may go for an RX... or... lord knows what... difficult to replace having lived with a LS430 for many years
