If I was you there is a very interesting post on moneysavingexpert about MOTs and garages failing trying to drum up more business. The council offer MOT for their own vehicles and won't refuse to test a normal vehicle. There is no gain to them failing your car on more than it needs. It may just be worth paying another £50 to get a second MOT test

It'll be there, it;s nothing special though. :). It's a Lexus mate..... It's special ;)

That looks smashing! Was it difficult to lower, and did it take long? How do the Gmax springs ride? Stock shocks?

It's so disappointing, and I knew I was taking this depreciation on but it really hurts. My old BMW 525d M Sport with some choice options was listed at £41k new - after 5 years and 40k on the clock I got £14500 for it. My GS250 Lux/MLS was listed at £37600; it's now probably worth £20000 trade in, if that, in just over a year I've lost 45%. That is bad news :/ It's OK power wise. It's plenty quick enough, but it's not a car for town driving. Even though it's exactly the same size as my old BMW 5, it feels so much bigger - very barge like - and with paint as soft as it is any dings and scratches will show so easily. The plan is to keep mine 5 years, so the depreciation can hardly be any worse in the next 4 years!! As long as I get £10k for it in 2017 I'll be happy, but that doesn't look likely!
