It does look a gem for sure, still some nice ones out there then. A tad over priced though?

[Cotswold Pete]

Does look nice, but agree overpriced, even if it still has the full tool kit. Such low mileage makes you wonder if it needs a few good blasts up the motorway to get it's legs stretched

[The-Acre]

I like the leg stretching bit!

A lot of wood in this one. Does that mean it's a Celsior import or just stick on bits, or were they an option?

Looks overpriced to me - surprising about the low mileage though but as cars get older, condition is the main thing which affects price along with age and mileage.

Not convinced £3500 is realistic for this but that's just my opinion

****, my car had only 64k on it when I bought it, now 67k, looks every bit as good as that one and has a fsh too..im starting to think it was a bargain?...

[runsgrateasanut]

Paid £800 for mine but have spent probably double that to have 1/ it trailered to me 200 miles, 2/ brakes, cambelt, water pump, leaky exhaust gaskets etc all replaced and 3/ tow bar to be fitted today.

113k on the clock. Other fault, worn splines to front seat tilt back mechanism means not working properly requiring my attention.

Caution if cambelt not been changed on that car. Add another £800

I'm lucky, only electric aerial and drivers heated seat doesn't work on mine....haven't investigated either to be fair...

^ I think you'll find very few of us have heated seats that work, very much a weakness in the LS400 which is not an easy or cheap fix unfortunately :-(

this only applies up untill the mark 3 - mark 4 heated seats were trouble free albiet some may say a bit slow to warm up - my LS430 seats are fine aswell

The Celsior didn't come with the additional wood bits even on the C-F package so they must be aftermarket parts.It's definitely a UK spec model as it has the 2 piece headlights and external aerial.

I would like to see a close up of the driver's seat as mine in pretty cracked on the base but not torn.

A tad OTT with the asking price though.

Your probably right Mark my previous Mk IV seats did warm up but as you say very slowly...I wonder if a better fix for a Mk III would be to find matching seats from a MkIV ?...I would imagine they would fit?

Why worry about heated seats ....... when one's bum is as big as mine the lack of heat to get thru' the natural padded insulation is of little concern
