Am I Just Being Paranoid?

Well I missed it :(

Not because it went out of my price range but because my damn browser decided to play up at the crucial moment. That will teach me to try and drop a bid in in the last 20 seconds!

Gutted.

Bad luck - there'll be another one along soon. And remember: if it looks like a good one, it's probably worth travelling for.

I'm pretty much willing to travel anywhere if the cost of the travel isn't too much.

Mind you the price of public transport nowadays is extortionate (Did I spell that right!) almost defeats getting a good price on the car if it costs £000's to get there and then fill and drive back although the drive back could be counted as a leisure activity.

If you are ebaying , I can recomend auctionsniper.com. (used to buy my last 5 cars)

have been using them since 2006 , and love their service.

they do charge a small fee (iirc first 3 wins are free) , but it is $ , so not bad.

I believe the mark 3 '95-97 also has a non interference engine.

Only the mkI & II have a non-interference engine.

Think you're wrong. :winky:

Now now boys, no fighting it's all very confusing for us newbies lol.

Seriously though is the mk3 non interference? I'm confuzzed!

I am never wrong :)

In 1995, Lexus increased the horsepower/compression ratio from about 10.2:1 to about 10.6:1 on the 1UZFE engine, thereby making it an "interference" type.

Oddly, they did not change the 1UZFE designation. The problem then becomes one of people believing that their 1995 through 1997 LS400 1UZFE engine(s) are non interference, when in reality, they are.
