Buying My First Ls430

[SimonCollis]

Hi, I'm a new member looking to buy my first LS430. I've seen a few already, what should I be looking out for, apart from the usual?

Hi Simon and welcome to the LOC.

You say ''apart from the usual '' but thats probably it. Service history, rattles and knocks, check every button and switch (even the smallest problem could cost lots to fix)

My favourite is ''The air-con needs regassing but I haven't had time to do it ' Selling these cars is difficult in these times and if it needs a quick and easy fix, a seller would probably do it. ''Air-con needs regassing'' means, ''The condenser and all pipework needs replacing, £650 + labour + vat''

If its a good one, don't be put off by high mileage, these cars are built with quality.

Don't be afraid to ask any question, however silly you may think it is, as we're a friendly bunch and we all bought our first Lexus once.

Good Luck with your new car, you are in for a treat.

That's great, thanks. I'll be in touch when I've found a good one!!
