Makes me feel edgy about buying mine now! A few cosmetic blemishes. But hey, I have a 2008 one. That's what I tell myself.
-
KH51 is getting on a bit. I would want it to have been kept in a garage for most of its life, but service history does look decent and is a dealer so may get a deal. Would be more interested in any rust on underside than paint blemishes on top. It has "uprated" sound/nav system. Again worth a look. What were Scouse red flags?
-
Ah. Liverpool. Calm down, calm down!
-
Got to be worth a look

I bought one with a contingency fund of 50% of purchase price. If you can get EVERY box ticked then maybe spend £12k
-
Was that the one in Canterbury? 7 previous keepers.

Won't hybrid battery be warranted by Lexus until 2027?
-
Engines good for 300k. Will see me out as well.
-
Or 107.
-
Major compromise. £600 to replace with decent tyres.
-
Not underseal in the old fashioned way. Modern transparent Dinitrol treatment.
-
My underseal job will take a week! Mates rates though!
-
But. Kalahari Sand. Would you?

Emailed dealer and he said asset financing. Very normal apparently. Still a red flag to us normal folk.

Figures to make mine a perfect car, for comparison. 2008 year ( Cambelt and water pump done in 2022) Purchase £8750....Lexus service done days before by previous owner Paint Job....scuffs, wheel refurb, any other scratches £1000 New shocks all round and brake pads £1000 Stainless exhaust to factory spec £1500 Dinitrol underside treatment £250 Total I may end up spending: £12500

Tyres are less than optimal

Dealer finance will be removed on sale. Offered him £10k but he politely ignored me!

So has no one actually looked at these before? They were too far for me to travel.
-
Definitely worth looking at them both. I obvs prefer the blue one as well

Shared the love with one of my spare car check vouchers. Bob did it for me.

Most of the examples on Autotrader at that price seem to have been for sale a long time. For 13k I would expect to see 17 main dealer service stamps in the book. I reckon take £400 off asking price for every missing year. I assume you can look at actual service receipts to see what was done. Lexus service includes advisory on red flag, amber flag items. Also money off if tyres are cheap.
-
Just missed the cheap tax threshold on this one. Even at 51k miles I would expect timing chain to have been done. Bonus if things like shocks and exhaust have been replaced. Looks like all tyres have been recently replaced. Hopefully with decent ones.

Getting ready
