Just spotted this on gumtree, 2004 LS430, 250,000 miles. £3,450 seems a bit steep for that mileage doesn’t it? The guy hasn’t even bothered to take photos in daylight or show any interior pics!!!

MOT History...

MOT  17/11/2008     Then.      MOT. 20/11/2008.  280 miles and 3 days later???

Nov 08 - Nov 09  clocked up just a smidge under 40,000 miles! ( that's more than my 11 year old 250 got in total!)

Nov 11 to Nov 24 2008 clocked just under 2,000 miles ( in about 12 days!)

mileages on 24 June 2011 MOT Fail then Pass don't add up! ( MOTed mid year for some reason, then back to about Nov?)

why would you mot a car ( apart from selling point for change of owner ) in mid year? Only thing I can think of is what happened to my Mondeo, uneconomical to repair no fault insurance claim then bought back for scrap then fixed ( new rear bumper!) then had to mot it to be able to put in back on road, I'm not saying this is the case For this car But if change of owners line up with mot's then that a bit better.

might be a decent car as it seems it never had chance to breakdown! 😀

But I feel that a owner ( Lexus especially) that wants to sell their car should really 'sell it'  if you know what I mean, and the photos don't do it any justice.

Its MOT shows some dodgy mileages, it went backwards for 11000 miles. I would bother any further with it unless you are absolutely desperate to own an LS which could cost you a fortune in repairs. MOT out in March. Photographed in the dark, the guy isn't serious about selling it or thinks we are all a load of Bozos.

Date tested 24 June 2011

Pass

Mileage 161,019 miles

MOT test number 8462 3567 1187

Test location unavailable until further notice

Expiry date 23 June 2012

Date tested 24 June 2011

Fail

Mileage 172,391 miles

MOT test number 6055 1507 1109

Test location unavailable until further notice

Reason(s) for failure

  • Offside Front Headlamp aim too low (1.8)
  • Centre Rear Stop lamp not working (1.2.1b)
  • Offside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)
  • Nearside Front Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (4.1.D.1a)

@BluesmanMike I don't have the Ls knowledge that you did but is that not another Silver Ls parked behind it as well ?

If so advert says private but is he a dealer ?

Well spotted, its probably an LS400. Too many negatives for anyone to take it seriously unless they live next door to it and already know the car.

@The-Acre Ah thanks Phil....... I need to work on this Silver Lexus fetish of mine 

🐀

Interestingly I put a deposit on a silver Lexus today, I can easily understand how a fetish may grow from it.

Looks very tired doesn’t it? Check out the state of the steering wheel leather!!! I wonder how many things either don’t work or don’t work properly on it. I wouldn’t pay that for a car with that mileage in that condition.
