Do Not Sell My Personal Information Jump to content


Recommended Posts


Welcome Anthony,

As others have said, the red definitely suits the car.  I think I recall seeing this one on the site a while back.  If you don't mind me asking (and please feel free to refuse), what did you pay for it?

I haven't had mine as long as you have, but I certainly agree that it is a great car.

How are you finding your mpg?

Thanks.

She`s a beauty Anthony, what did you drive before you purchased her ?

Thank you, I had an Abarth 595, Completely different animal! 

I did however have a GS300 before the Abarth and loved it (Messi's old car from on this very forum)

And I am currently in the process of selling my 78 Toyota Cressida, when that goes I'm looking to add an SC430 to the fleet.

Thanks Anthony.

If you sell a `78 Cressida, you should be able to afford two SC430`s or perhaps 5 Starlets !!

The red is really nice when the sun hits it, lovely metallic fleck in it. I got it for £16000 with my Abarth taken in PX it was listed at £16750. Full Lexus history, one owner from new he bought the car from Lexus Manchester and had it serviced there every year it was obviously cherished. He traded it in for a new GS450h. 

MPG wise it's not bad for a big luxury saloon I get about 38 max but I dont really go on many long runs I work 4 miles from my house! 

It's certainly better than my V8 Jaguar XF used to be. 14mpg was about average.

Very true but alas my wife insists that we do something sensible with the rest. 🙄

She is lovely! Love the colour! 

As John says what was before and why Lexus this time?

Welcome to LOC btw!

Thanks for the welcome, I have been here for a while just not a prolific poster. I've always had a thing for toyota's and used to own a GS300 which I loved so this was a natural progression.
