Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content


Recommended Posts


What the add for that car lacks >if I were looking for one< is that there is no mention of how many owners & no mention at all of services or service history, the later being of utmost importance, although the mileage is low so thats good.

It's not cheap methinks  ................but just ok .........and now at a rarity price maybe for one that sounds and seems so good

That sounds a very good car at a reasonable price. You will be extremely lucky to find a "perfect" LS 400 but that one ticks quite a few boxes. I would be very surprised if it does not have a service history - if not beware. It is the same colour as mine, one of the BEST colour combinations IMHO. The gold colour (champagne) never shows the dirt and can hide the odd blemish. If I was looking for a MkIV LS 400 that would be worth a journey.

...  I think I remember getting @32mpg once many years ago, fully loaded on the motorway on cruise control at 80mph .............  never manage it otherwise but then that wasn't in a Mk4

Check its MOT history out. Loads of advisories, some fails. This car has sat around alot its only done 30K in the last 10 years. The seller was also selling a Porsche last Dec using the same excuse that he now has two dogs. Hes keeping the number plate. Approach with caution.

hahahahaha, the Isle of Sheppey is quite tiny  ......  and upgrade  ???  ...................  I think my Mk3 could be with me till the end of time tbh ......  or until it's a write-off or summat else dreadful befalls me....  but i must admit that the Mk4 would be a natural progression from my Mk1 and Mk2, both of which had premature fatalities

ISLE OF SHEPPEY: What's the IOS got to do with anything, he said he drove the car from his home to the IOS and back home :confused: The cars is based in Silverstone, Northamptonshire isn't it?

OWNERS: The add says 4 owners plus the seller.

Pay attention folks. :lol:
