Hi Pete. No, I don't know what lpg kit is fitted. I'll let you know when I pick it up. I've HPIed the car and everything is fine, but the mileage is not guaranteed. I can't really see any issues. I paid nine and a half for it and looking around that seems to be a pretty good price even if its done a few more miles than it actually has on the clock. Given the fact that its been converted to lpg I can't see a reason why anyone would fiddle with the mileage. (I know the obvious answer would be to boost the price of the car, if so, I don't think it's worked out). Although I'm fairly inexpereinced buying cars I'm not completely thick and it seemed great to me. Looking forward to driving it to Cambridge the day I pick it up for its check now. Can hardly wait. Thanks, everyone, once again for your help- the enthusiasm was a big factor in me going ahead with the purchase. Leigh

Thanks guys. I like the idea of having a check when I get the car. I'll do this. I'm expecting to have to fork out for the cam belt so I'll get this done in the summer. Is £1000 a typical price? Haylands, the car looks identical to yours (being Canterbury Blue) but is about a year older. It's even had an lpg conversion in Milton Keynes. I almost thought it was the same one!

The car does feel good to drive- bodywork immaculate and I didn't notice any wear on the pedals. It's also had a lpg conversion in 2006. I ran a check on it and it's last registered keeper was in 2006. The owner of the garage has a apparently used it for a while before deciding to get rid of it and the reason that I was given sounds plausible. The car has now got 87000 on the clock. This seems about average to me and believable. The seats, for example look clean as does the rest of the car. It has lexus stamps to 60000. Isn't the cambelt due for replacement at 100 000? I do have some pictures- how can I send or post them? Thanks for your opinions.

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and don't know whether this is the correct place to be posting this but I'd be grateful for your advice. I went to see a LS430 on Saturday and fell in love with it and put down a deposit which commits me to finish buying the car in the next two weeks. I've sinced found out that the car's milegae is not guaranteed (there was a sticker on the dashborad which I failed to notice because I was so enamoured with the car). So my questions is this- What recourse do I have with the seller (it's a forecourt) if the thing goes wrong. Do I have some kind of comeback if it packs up in the first 3 months? I obviously should have seen the sticker but like I said, I was a bit struck and I'm a bit inexperienced buying cars. The car has full history up to 2006 and had done 60 000 up to this point. The garage has been in possession of it for about a year I think. Has anyone had a similar experience or advice? Like I said gratefully received.
