What that normally means is they will change the fan belt. I am like you and very disstrustfull of traders and what they say. Ask them if you can come and see the car with engine stripped down that normally sorts the boys from the men. Mike
Well if I had been the seller I would have bitten his hand off at that sort of money. I cant believe he set the reserve higher than what it achieved. Mike
"Mileage approximate 130,000 (can confirm actual if required)"
When you pick it up, oops its 230,000, why cant they put the proper mileage in the description? I cant believe there are that many people with no taste bidding on it. Mike
There is something quite self satisfying about starting with a filthy car and after an hour or so you have a car that looks like its just stepped out of the showrrom. Hate my cars being dirty. Mike
No sniggering here, well done you for giving it a go. If I was younger and fitter I would certainly have a go at doing them, you get alot of satisfaction DIYing. Mike
I posted that one last week, if you click on the links on the actual ebay advert it gives you almost chapter and verse. Mike.

What a stunning car, you did very well. Please be careful about converting others who are not knowledgeable on Lexus motoring, makes it even more difficult for those of us who have been converted for many years and may need to change theirs.
Must be the season for extreme cars, Toyota/Lexus Mike.

Thanks for the link Mikeyv. I can only assume the cheif of design at Allard Cars was blind, there can be no other explanation how so many ugly cars came from just one manufactuer. Mike.
If you put Allard into Google image there are plenty on there with a face only a mother could love. One or two are OK but the large majority are pants. Mike
Most of his feedback is written by himself, also take into account the number of cars he sells and then count how many feedbacks in a year (4 I think) means there is very little feedback.
Brilliant, I have always wanted to do that. I have had my fill of flying and cant even stand a 2hour flight to southern Spain, I am hoping to persuade my other half that taking Lexie across the channel is a good idea. We have several friends who live in Southern France and Northern Spain. Mike
Like the others have said be very careful. If you think you have covered all the basses, check them all again. This guy is well known for cars that go backwards for many tens of thousands of miles. Mike

Will be interesting to see what this goes for. Mike
