Will get her serviced and maybe a tranny oil change for peace of mind ,apart from that she just needs a big clean which i started on sunday. Can anyone recomend a good independant garage for thre work local to me ? thanks in advance steve.

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

Hi, sweet ride, black is a great colour, so worth all the effort , :D

TO Vectistravellor, hi, thanks for the post, sorry my budget is 2000 at a push so i have to say sorry, goodluck tho. To Iancornwall, dont worry, i am totally sold on the lexus thing, i love the look of the ls as opposed to the gs which is to euro for me. And im buying one for the luxury side of things not speed so no worries there, would rather arrive in style than quicky !! its about time i changed my driving style , plus if you drive sensibly you spend longer in the great car .result

Hi , could someone explain the diference between the two keys the cars are supposed to come with? diffrences and what they do, ? many thanks steve.

hi bazgtr, thanks for the comments , bmw 's not for me though, or merc, i really want something different. Havin read all the comments form people, im starting to think a car i looked at in brixham may be worth another look. Very similar to yours bazgtr, due to lack of recent history would need a service, cambelt and mayb power s pump looking at but car was lovely inside and out and was really only the history putting me off, car is silver with grey leather 1990, 1750000, and drove very well,dash was fine just ac panel to do.Bodywork was good for year and interior was excellent. im starting to convince myself to have another look this week lol. I dont want a mint car, some one always gets jealous, but hey thats the world we live in.

sweet, thats what i want to hear, i have considered the gs its a lovely car and the interiors practically the same but i jst prewfer the nose of the ls, personal choice i spose, im gona rethink the brixham car, if i can get it for good money and 12mths mot, thats a goos start, and like u say, most probs are bolt on /off. thanks buddy, two entusiasts below bristol lol!!!!!!!!11

hi, yep take on board what you say about keeping them nice , a lexus would take a lot more than a golf to keep good,, im really not looking for a mint one , i reallt want something to get me around and not worry if someone opens a door on it lol. I will prob end up streching my budget and allow for some extra expense when i do decide to buy one. They cant all be bad under 2k.

hi. thanks for that, pity yours is not up now lol. I test drove a silver 1on wed that has frt brake judder and blowing exhaust, trader has assured me this will be fixed and car sold with 12mths mot, its just the lack of service hist that makes me unsure. the car is sweet inside with normal wear, the outside has a few war wounds but looks the part, it would do me, just need to be sure, i dont want perfect, my mk2 golf has perfect paint and i cant park it anywhere for fear of some old gitn door denting it, so i expect to get a lexus in used cond, just need a luxury motr for the w/end, may get a mechanic to look the silver one over again, cheers

every time i test drive 1 , just makes me more determined to get one, best car ever........ probably

my budgets £2000 top, all i can see for yhat is mk1/2, will keep looking though,biggest prob is where i live , lol, nothing happens south of bristol , all decent advertised cars are so far away. anyway rant over , back to the classifieds

I know people arnt going to have dealer service history for the reasons you give but surely when they have work done (anywhere) they can hold onto paperwork?. If a car runs out of dealer history at 110k and im looking to buy it a bit later at say 145k , few years later, it would be reasonable to expect irts had at least a servive and some repair work done, so there must be paperwork. Or basically you either take a chance and buy a car you may have to scrap on its next mot. I guesss im just gonna have to wait to find a car thats been looked after and not abused.

Hi guys, im getting dispondent, lol, i Joined the site a while ago amd have been looking to purchase an old ls4 mk1/2 . I have only found 3 cars locally to view in the last 6weeks, 1 was a dog the other 2 had lost service history from about 110k (why does this always happen). but i have to admit am still considering one of them, but it would need a cambelt, the seller(trader) said hed do it in the price but i dont believe hed actually do it. lol.Apart from that car seemed ok, but underside was rough and suspension repairs aint cheap. A full mot from a trader just means big bills next mot . I cant justify travelling 180 miles snd a 6hr trip to look a car described as perfect only to get there and see another dog!!!. Does anyone know of a genuine ls 4sale?, the age shouldnt be a problem my mk2 golf is 17 , mint condition and a show winner (and for sale), so a 17 yr old car can be in good condtion, im just havin trouble finding a lexus lol. Also last rant... the fact that most people on hear have probs wiv their cars worries me!!! arnt they supposed to be super reliable? then again i spose people only post when they got a prob, sorry for ther long one , and the rant but i just wana get on and own 1 !!!!!!!!

Thats what i think, just needed to be told lol. The frt of the gs is very euro sedan looking, If im going to get a lexus i mightn as well get my 1st chioce. cheers, next post should be after ive bought one lol

Thanks for the replies to my q, about ls400's , Has helped me make my mind up to buy a lexus. However have been told also to consider a GS300. Any thoughts which is better to own/ run and the more enjoyable ? thanks.

Hi i am about to purchase a ls400 but have been told to consider the gs300 also. Simple question really ...Which is the better to own and run and the more enjoyable? cheers steve

hi, i will prob be looking for an early mk1 /2 ls400 and would take on board any advice the owners could impart 2 me. For instance .. whats the diff between an import or uk reg car? I know i should be looking for good service history and esp the cambelt change. Also expect some small niggles, like dash needles and hifi display poss faulty. But any other tips on what needs checking specific to ls 400's.? I will be looking with a mate who is used to checking for standard car issues so no probs there. Thanks again guys (i will get there eventually) steve.

Many thanks guys, ive researched the model a lot and know it will be a better experience for me than the golf. I will be looking around v soon. Thanks again. steve
