Any thoughts on this LS430?


Recommended Posts

This has been advertised for ages, and I have mentioned it before.  The seller says the the current mileage and the discrepancy in the MOT history is a misunderstanding between him and the boss!  The MOT history is actually quite good, and I may be able to get the price down.  What do you think a fair price would be if it all checks out OK?

You can knock £1000 off for the private plate, for a start?

You're not wrong there, unless I change my name to Zechariah or Zebedee or Zed bed!  It's just a NI plate, and definitely not worth £1,000.  Why doesn't anybody local to me ever sell their cars, this one is less than 100 miles away though.

I would have to get the Northern Ireland plate replaced because I just don't like them, its just a personal thing. Cost about £250.

It has done very little work in the last 4/5 years covering only 8000 miles in 5 years. Its stood around a lot.

Interior looks OK. You need to take someone with you who knows his way around unless of course you do and make your mind up. Mike.

I think I've got a fairly good knowledge re the potential problems, it's just finding time to get there.  The biggest difficulty is explaining to my wife that I may get another car!

 worried about the discrepancy...no margin of error here...be prepared to look for another.

That is my concern, also the fact that it's been for sale for so long.

whats happened to the ls400 you bought not long ago ,phil

Ah, I wondered if anyone would notice. It went back to the dealer a week later for various reasons, now he's got it up for sale for £300 more.  I took a friend with me who deals in Jags as he had two to pick up in Doncaster, so I got to drive an XJ6 back.  I just got home and an air suspension warning light came on!

Well I've had a Jag 4ltr xj300 great car but rear arches are problem. XKR 4.2 lovely but flawed with ZF gearbox issues and overly high running costs; 4 ltr S type quicker than the LS 400 but air con, electrical drain all very stylish. Love my 400...

So you wouldn't have a Jag?  What was it like, and how did it compare to an LS?

To be honest I would consider it.  The one thing I didn't like about the Jag was the way the dashboard seemed so high, maybe its just the low seating position.  It was very nice to drive, and the cabin was a very nice place to be.  The LS is more serene though, and more powerful.  The XJ6 is a big car, but was only 3litre so not surprising. It was comparable I think.
