Just Bought Me A Ls400 !

[floggit]

Hi , finally found a car i liked , its a 1995 ls400 in superb cond with only 2 owners, white over silver with grey interior ,has some of the usuall faults but thats par for the course i suppose, and they can be fixed. Have a road trip on saturday to pick her up,train there, and cardiff to plymouth is gonna be a sweet ride home. I cant wait, Have priced a few things at my local lex dealer and they seem helpful so thats good. Will finally be able to enjoy the unsurpassed quality that these cars offer,

Car comes with all handbooks , but bear with me will probably be asking a few stoopid ! questions to get me started. I know there are a few savvy ways to keep costs down on ownership

Saturday guys ,, i cant wait, will get some pics on when get time.

thanks steve

Very good matey look forward to seeing some pic's when you get it :D

I went to look at 1 yesterday 47,000 miles on a 94 L plate 1 owner with full history in the very dark green which may aswell be black and only the usual fault that i could find (dash not lighting up) the rear seats have never been used and still have a protective cover on them the whole car looked brand new and up for £3000ish so now just debating what to do with my is200 Anyway good luck with your new car and enjoy :D

thanks buddy, 47,000 miles on a L plate is seriously low !!!! she must be as new !!! good luck

Well done! (Usual faults? Wot? Oh, the hi-fi screen!)

You'll pass the end of my road (Avonmouth junction M5) on the way home, so....cup of tea if you want! Though seeing a Ser 4 not good for contentment? I can hide it and leave the Nissan S-Cargo out!

[IanCornwall]

Cool

well done and no doubt we shall see each other driving around one day

the way it is going we will have a soutwest meet sooner rather than later

[MARK HAYLE]

Hows does she drive and feel, Pictures please sir!!

[spikes]

lucky you :)

must look mint with that milage

[Chris Skelton]

I can tell you, cos he called in en route back to deepest outer-there (to you Londoners!) aka Plymouth.

Nice white Ser 2 with silver....or so he (and vendor!!) thought.

BUT....it's a .....Series 3!! That old change-over in 95 bit!

Paint needs a polish, having been standing about, and the needle/stereo backlight (AND CD u/s) problems. But basically a good car it seems, and v. cheap. Price of a Fiesta really!

And Steve found out my domestic version of why I say I bought an LS for its stereo!

Nice to see you Steve. Enjoy the fixing, but, mainly, enjoy the quiet cruising!

Hi Chris, just between you and me (nobody reads the LS400 posts) Did you hide the Mark4?

[aztecbandit1]

I do.. Hopefully be joining you guys soon ;)

[Chris Skelton]

Hi Chris, just between you and me (nobody reads the LS400 posts) Did you hide the Mark4?

Nah! It was raining....(looks VERY shiny in rain...... ) But he was bowled over by Avantgarde Duos!

[graham8370]

Please forgive the ignorance but I just had to Google for ''avantgarde duos''. Would this be your front room Mr Skelton?

G*d no! My room ain't 'arf so fancy!

(But yes....but mine are 'Ferrari' red!)

And yes, AlexJB, too much volume COULD make you nauseous!

Only takes a couple of watts to burn out eardrums,; had to attenuate the CD player to get volume reasonable (as in, able to talk -shout?- in same room, or hear phone ringing!)

It's the Lexus lifestyle in hi-fi?

Those speakers are sick mr Skelton :winky:

i agree !!! the maddest pair of speakers ive ever seen or heard ... truly sublime and to aspire to ( puts my bw's to shame)
