Just loving this colour and interior combination ...

All good advise above ...not Much to add..prices can be dictated by colour combination and wheel choice, factory wheels are best to my mind and the strong blue, red,silver colours with light interiors are the way to go.....only downside of the Ivory leather is its shows it's age yet all the black leather cars I've ever seen all look like brand new inside . Dark leather also mean dark headlining ...so can feel a little claustrophobic or snug , light interiors feel ariy and maybe stay a bit cooler on the legs in the summer The UK has a negative thing about high mileage cars so you could get a bargain if you go over the 100k but make sure it has Lexus service history and make sure all the big jobs have been done ....timing belt, tyres, ball joints ,shock absorbers .

Car had its first claybar and wax today .....

Open countryside is what I'm looking for Neil not a motorway car park

Decided to upgrade to the facelift SC430 so here is my old silver car and the new one.... Its an early 2006 model so has the cheaper road tax bracket £305 not £525. colour is Montrose Blue Pearl with a Rutland Cream leather interior.

If fluid has started leaking past the piston and coming out in the rubber boot it's time to take some quick action !......go for an exchange caliper as suggested by Tigerfish , my choice of company is https://brakeparts.co.uk/ I've used them before and their prices are very good

Richards car from Lexus-world ..great choice and an excellent example

That is a bit of a spanner in the works !

Messi why not put your blue SC in for this magazine shoot ...we know the paintwork is in tiptop condition.

They would be ok with the star centre cap but the dinner plates you can keep !

I would sell them if I found something I fancied but nothing about at the moment.

Not for me but if any other members with an original car fancy it ...be my guest

Message sent.

As we know the dinner plate wheels are not our cars best feature

I'm in north Kent but don't have original wheels.

Apologies For hijacking this thread ...I'm looking for the very same rims to put on my SC430 ,If any of you guys have a set or see a set for sale please Let me know. thanks Bob

Sounds like a tricky problem, you could take it into Lexus and see if any fault codes show up on their equipment. .....and welcome to the LOC

I rather like the blue 55 plate they have for sale but at 15k it's out of my price range :(

The lambda sensor is not a bad job with the correct socket and as you say TMPS is easy to get to as the trim all pulls out by hand , I had two or three goes shorting out the connections to get the light out ,been ok for for 10months so far ......and the TMPS system not an not Mot requirement only after 2012

It's a very subtle 4 box system its more of a classic car system than a sports jobbie......should outlast the car

My back end ! custom stainless steel system from manifold to tailpipes.

Glad you kept the same shape have seen some off square ones.....they just don't look right :(

My car had a handbuild stainless steel exhaust on it from downpipes backwards cost was £950 so much cheaper that a lexus system There are exhaust specialists up and down the Uk ...it's just finding a good one in your area .
