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
-
Me and Uncle Bob probably have the full history check of most SC430's on the market! Just ask.
