Definitetly i will keep on looking ,lets hope i can find a good one.

Did you take it back because of the cost of the Y pipe or did you not like the car itself? The car was very good brilliant sound system ,nice ride and all the gadgets.The reason i took it back was that my kid didnt like it also it had slight knocking noise coming from N/s side at the front when i took it over a bump,i think it was a control arm or some thing .It also needed two new tyres.If it had only been the gasket on the exhaust i would have kept it,but with everything else needed doing i think i made right chioce in taking it back. i have had Subaru for 9 months done about 5000miles only thing i have done is have it serviced, nothing has gone wrong.

I went yesterday and picked car up drove back the exhaust started blow a lot ,in the morning took it to exhaust place the showed where it was blowing .It was blowing from the Y pipe ,pipe would have cost £300 from dealers.I rang the guy up who i had bought it off and told him i didnt like it basically cut long story short gave the Ls back and got my scooby back .Iam glad it didnt cost me too much.

Thanks for that BazGtr ,iam supposed to pick it up this evening .I will let you know how i will get on.Feel like having both if i had the money.

I have taken it for a test drive everything is fine ,problem with my subaru is that the ride is too hard .so i want something with a better ride i can go for BMWs but i think the LS is more reliable. I hope i dont regret it later on.

hi, i spoke to lexus yesterday one of the mechanics told me it more than likely to be the gasket on the front pipe .He told me that he has never seen a exhaust blow in his 4 years mechanic for lexus.I did get a price for the front pipe looking at about £380. The car is advertised in Nottingham has anybody been to view it ,it is blue one.

They want £3995 and mines worth about the same because i had it on 4 sale @4495 and i couldnt sell it .

hi, I have been offered a ls400 for my Subaru STi version 4 1998,the lexus is 1998 s reg mk 4 . The dealer has offered a straight swap.I think their might be slight leak on the exhaust on the ls some where near the engine .Otherwise the car is oK it has 95000 on the clock FSH and 4 owners,it has had new brakes and discs. My subaru has 75000 with a rebuilt engine 10k ago the engine cost 3k to build. It needs respraying on one side because somebody has keyed it . Your advice is much appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies ,Iam going to see the car tomorrow hopefully take it for a test drive.

come on gentlemen somebody with a LS must have the answer ,could you reply .Thanks

I am thinking of buying 1998 ls400 Mark4 with DHP it has done 120000 miles .I have checked the tyres i believe their suppose to be 245/50/17s, rear ones are the right ones but the ones on the front are 255/45/17.I have checked the prices on 245/50/17s they go for £175.00 each made by pirelli, can i use 245/45/17 instead as they are cheaper. What other things should i check on the car?. Your advice is much appreciated.Thanks
