Anyone know this MK3 LS400. Reg...L400MYK Siver grey/grey trim 128,000 10 stamps. I might have to put my dislike of grey leather behind me especially if it goes for a good price. I'll have a look on Monday afternoons viewing time. Commission up to £999 hammer price is approx £300 so adds a bit to any low priced "bargain". Its not in the listing to say the number stops with the car but will say on the screen ticket.

Sounds a sad case - the exception really.

This eBay item- is it a Mk2 I thought Mk2 has the crease along the wing and therefore its a Mk 3, but confess I've never studied the evolution.

Do think that taking away the crease was retrograde to the cars style, but beauty as they say.......

Looks like a nice car for someone with loads a dosh.

It's most certainly a Mk3, easy to tell by the lack of fog lights at the front, they're encompassed within the main lighting cluster on this Mk.

This car's a real " no no " methinks.

there are some faults but the biggest bugbear could be the non-original paint work on most of the car.

Unless it has been resprayed to exacting Lexus ( or better ) standards then it's not going to last the course !!

And the price, it's possibly a bit " dopey " !!

Wow! you've a sharp eye. Drivers door and passenger door do look different colour. Anywhere else?

Don't know how I'm going to match Club expectation if I buy a new front drivers side wing. Should I just remove the rust and tart it up? Save me best part of £600 I imagine.

hahahahaha .............. I just read the advert ....... . it actually says resprayed bonnet, boot, roof etc !!

And if I was you I would probably just patch your own front wing tbh unless you can get an original same colour replacement and not have to repaint. It's the quality of the Lexus factory finish that gives our cars such an amazing longevity paint and colourwise.

If you spray it yourself make sure to wet sand the clear coat (after it has dried of course :) ) Then machine polish it and it'll look as good as the factory paint

I must be dyslexic !

Agree about the paint it looks like new on my Car. Amazing its what sold it to me without a viewing. Dangerous I know (and have paid a price) but exterior impression is 85% selling factor.

The G Limited MR2 Import I owned also a "K" reg never had the qaulity finish that this car has!

Take the point Ruud makes about the Gel coat. My can spraying has never been successful. Every time I put the clear gel coat on, it makes the paint look dull. Possibly the quality gel coat, or wrong temperature or being outside, or all three of those things?
