Toyota Good. Lexus Better.

[Tahara]

Hello,

My first post here.

I took my nickname Tahara after the factory where they made the first Lexus in Japan. Clever, eh? B)

I drive a Camry now. It is a good car. However, I lust after a Lexus. It can take a while before I get one, but I want to share my adventures as I look at some 2nd hand ones. I looked at a 2008 LS yesterday and will post about that in the model forum.

I live in Malaysia, where things sometimes are, ahem, different. But the cars are the same.

Happy motoring everyone.

Hello and welcome to the LOC.

Excellent choice with the LS model :)

Could you give us an idea of prices where you live to compare with UK prices?

From one newbie to another welcome.

Welcome.

Camrys are great cars, I used to have a 2 tone blue 87 model, lovely reliable car.

Seem to recall they were the Yanks favourite car for quite a few years.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. This seems to be a friendly place. And lots to read and learn, too.

Prices in Malaysia. Import taxes on cars are high. A new LS is more than double the price in Malaysia compared to the UK, 165,000 pounds. Consequently most Lexus on Malaysian roads are imported 2nd hand, mainly from the UK and Japan. Now for the good news. Petrol 95 is 40p a litre. Service and repair is cheaper thanks to low labour cost. Parking, toll roads etc are cheaper too.
