Thanks for all the comments guys.As William says, the prices are coming down all the time, never say never. I bought my first Lexus, A 95reg MK3 400, about 12 years ago, not a lot of money and it's taken me all that time and a further 3, a 99reg MK4 400, a 06reg 430, and a 07reg 460 to get to this level.I'm just an ordinary working bloke, the rich fella was the 1 owner whose depreciation was over £65k in 5 years.
The table my Ted is sitting on (Ellis is his name,(Ellis 600, get it)folds down into the centre console,4th pic. He resides in the rear window normally and only comes out for photo shoots.
Driving is very similar to the 460. I expected the acceleration would not be as quick as the 600 weighs 2 ton but if you put your foot down, she really goes.
Had DAB radio fitted last week, the sound quality is superb, and with the car running on the batteries it really is good listening.
Managed to make the 1st Plank & Leggit meet but couldn't make the last one. Will try to make the next and if anyone fancies a drive, they're more than welcome.
Rear controls; 2 remotes, 1 for DVD (stand alone DVD player above the fridge between the seats) the other for the massaging seat.The rest of the knobs and switches are pretty much the same as the 430/460. Rear blinds, radio, climate control, reclining ottoman seat with the switches to forward and tilt the front passenger seat, heated/cooled seats,and things I'm still discovering.
