Welcome to the Forum John ...... presuming your's is the Norri, nutty pistachioed green with edible walnut Tan interior ???......... you've bought one then ??? 🙃 Malc

If they don't sell now with this fine top-down summer weather then they will kollapz in price till next spring .......... recession, increase in taxation and winter of discontent on the labour front pertaining ! 🤑😉🤔🙃 ....................... and the car dealer owners will be wanting to shift / unload expensive to finance " dead " stock Malc

Amazingly booootiful route to travel along and alongside and to venture up up and away all thru' beautiful Scotland I've been around and about the route several times over the decades but in my asorted Ls400s from time to time .............. best in good weather tho', of course Envy you .......... must make a Plan to go again sometime soon Malc

Yes do ........ I reached retirement age and thought to create a Travel Company to effectively pay for my travels abroad .............. 9 years on and many cost effective and tax efficient trips later I'm fulfilling that dream ... a little ................. try it and see Malc

Excellent Outcome Well Done Malc

Ged, she looks a fine steed ……. wish you well with the sale Malc

Every time I read your posts about jumping in your car and driving off into those great depths of amazing countries ……. France and Swizzieland and more ……. I get ITCHY FEET …….. I really must try to get out more I’ll read up again on the RAC trip rules and regs about needed stuff …… critair stickers is it ? Etc ….., Malc

They look good 👏 Happy BAT beds in your loft maybe 😂 Malc

Worry not …….. it WILL kollapz in value probably by50% or more per annum from whatever your initial purchase price was …….. wonder what the scrap value might be at 5 years young 🤔 If you’ve money to burn then you should go ahead and enjoy this otherwise quite amazing car People buying Rolls Royce’s don’t worry about the annual depreciation, they usually just take it on the nose ……,be BRAVE go get one and ENJOY Good luck Malc or wait a little longer for the new Hydrogen Power range ……. Hopefully BP will get their 1200 service stations kitted out with the new HP pump and 5 minute refill 👍

It’s never quite so bad if you’ve done it yourself BUT if the other ‘arf ‘as dun it …….. well you daren’t say a word 😇 Malc

So then, Anthony’s old car is up for sale thru a dealer …….. we know much of its history and “ presence “ Malc

James hi, had you thought to take a job, part time or otherwise, with the Lexus Main Dealer with the opportunity to take a drive whenever in all these ( new ) offerings emerging …….. save you a small fortune cashwise and fulfil a keen interest …….. Just a thought ! Malc

Very best wishes Anthony ....... times will change again for you I'm sure ........ but whatever, do keep in touch eh ! Malc

Ok. Where’s my Lexus Ls700 Hydrogen Power limo ? First time I’ve seen it, last night tv advert for Toyota showing off their all embracing car power driven offerings INCLUDED Hydrogen Power Anyone seen a hydrogen powered car in the UK yet apart from maybe the Police Mirai that’s possibly now been withdrawn Toyota lead and Lexus badging should shortly follow hopefully …….. then the only thing to hold me back could be this daft TPMS requirement that causes newer car owners so much angst ! Malc

Best wishes for no more trifling issues eh ! car or yoooooo Malc

Just sent him a message ... I'll let you know what transpires Malc

Wots Anthony’s name on here ? Like to send him Best Regards sometime soon Malc

This number plate rings a bell …… a Forum Member car at some stage ?? Malc

This finished at £1876 on 5th June Malc

I’ve run my 2006 Honda Legend for 8 years 10 outta 10 Lexus Ls400s for 26 years. 11. Outta. 10 Both are outstanding marques Malc

being a tad colour blind often helps in older years ...... you really did think it was green at the time then ? Malc FACT: son-in-law re-paints the wood casing around his garden hottub a magnificent sea-going summery blue ......... WOT he's saying exasperated, I painted it brown to match the cover ............. not joking sadly, just a tad colour blind 😂

pistachio with nuts then 🙃 green is a rarity so any LC pistachioed might have great lasting value ......... unless someone else devours if first Malc

might this be just USA regulations ? if they can do it for the USA market which is huge, might it be relevant elsewhere too maybe 🫢 Malc

Stephen thank you The Ls430 looks stunningly ludicrous sporting those wheels 🥳 Bet it’s a harsh ride eh 🤔 The Merc Pagoda I actually had ……. in stock at my used car sales ……. maybe 30 years back ……. ‘orrible useless family car I’m afraid ……. much preferred the Ls400 I had at my garage and used for years …… the Merc Pagoda seemed a dopey car to me to want to own ……. had much bigger better more powerful Mercs that were “ sensible “ to use and WONDROUS limos too …….. enjoyed driving those 👍 Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am to have had a Ls400 for sooooooo long and maybe 250k miles of joyous motoring 😇 Malc

Well I never 🙃 Brilliant old and expensive cars usually go the way of Old Bangers that cost too much for mere mortals to run and play with even .... there's some wondrous old RRs and Bentleys and Maseratis and whatever .......... hugely expensive brand new but wither away over time ...... and too expensive for mere mortals to keep on the road and their prices just kollapz I'm afraid UNLESS there's a paricular wealthy following but I doubt even the very best Lexus will do other than be too expensive to maintain ..... well, that's if one's going to get the joy of actually using it ! Unles of course you're buying an early'ish Ls400 well, then those prices really are climbing thru' the roof BUT of course way way down on what they cost brand new ! And the poor souls that bought them brand new and rarely used them, to preserve their " value " really did lose out on a wondrous life driving their brill car ... and of course they've mostly passed on to that Big Breaker up in the skies 😇 Malc
