That one looks to be the age / condition / price formula I am looking for, although I prefer the colour scheme of the Glasgow car. My next step is to take a test drive of an LS430. Desk research suggests it is the roomiest LS, but I still have to test my long back against the headroom. So I need to find one not a million miles from Gloucester / Cheltenham. Thanks again for all assistance. Jon

This one, I think http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/57-LEXUS-LS-460-SE-L-A-/121562879280?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c4db65530

Well I see this is a very helpful forum I have just joined :) 300k is a but much for me as I will be paying others to do my maintenance, but thanks for finding the vehicle for me. I like the colour scheme, mileage and service history of the Glasgow car but it is a very long way from me . . . I did find some positive feedback on the dealer outside of Ebay, which wa encouraging. Thank you for re-visiting your opinion in some depth, much appreciated, and indeed for bringing it to the forum in the first place. I have been reading some recent threads and am intrigued by the fact that an LS costs 1800 euro a year to tax in Ireland. Which surely must push their value over a cliff when they reach the age I am looking at. For reference, I currently have a 1991 Mercedes 300SL which I plan to keep, and am looking for a Lexus to join it as a long-term project too. No rush, got to be a good one. Thanks folks Jon

Hook 295k £1100 ??? Any more info? Google is not helping me . . . In an ideal world it would be a 2005 ish LS430 with no more than two owners and a full history.

Can I check the specifics of your reservations? I have just started researching the market and liked this, though I thought the pricing looked ambitious. Jon
