  1. Hi everyone, Thank you for your helpful advice. Kam05, seems your concerns about the suspension were bang-on, I was told there is an advisory on 'a couple' of the suspension bushes. Further research on this forum seems to indicate that you cant just change bushes on the LS 430 - the entire arm needs to be replaced. I read somewhere that it costs £350 a corner! markuk - we do work for the same company! :) I've recently moved to the UK and have been looking for a car to explore the countryside on weekends (I walk to work). I am passionate about driving and like you am a sucker for technology. I fell for the Lexus when I saw it! I guess we need to work out what is the best bid given that it will need the cambelt / water pump change as well as the possible suspension work. Good luck!
  2. I have just spent the last two days reading extensively in this forum and have found it immensely useful. Its great that you have this owners forum and the passion for your Lexus is very evident. I hope to be a fellow Lexus owner soon and it is in this regard I am seeking advice. A company LS430, 2004 registered has come up for sale at my office. Its got full Lexus service hsitory, was serviced about 8000 miles ago and from the looks of it is running quite well! The big downside is that it has clocked 180,000 miles in 5 and a half years (thats over a 100 miles a day!!). Ive done the rounds on the internet but just cant seem to be able to value the car with this age and that kind of mileage accurately. So I have a bunch of questions: 1. Is the car worth buying given the high mileage (from some of the discussions in the forum I gather that the Lexus is good for 300 K + miles, so that shouldnt be a problem - but would appreciate your opinion) 2. What is a reasonable value for the car? (The car is being auctioned by sealed bid and my angst is over bidding the right amount) 3. Is there a checklist of things that I should look for? (I've seen the car and it looks brilliant - fell in love with it to be honest. Am having a closer look Monday morning) 4. Given the mileage is there some major change or rehaul I need to expect and budget for in the near future? Appreciate your time and help! Regs, N
