Hello Adam,
Welcome to the LOC.
Sounds like you took a gamble with your purchase with partial service history.
The LS 430 is a lovely car. I would advise you to do a HPI check on it if you have not done so already.
This will probably reveal a bit more about the history. Also, you might have to locate a specialist near you to give the car a good going over.
Either that or your local dealer will be able to pinpoint your stereo issues. Other members who have had these issues in the past will contact you.
Parking sensors have been discussed on this forum so many times that I've lost count!! I think they are a bit expensive from the stealership but the other members will point you in the right direction, I'm sure.
Enjoy...
Hi and thanks for your response. The car was stolen recovered in June 2009 and comes with no service history,instruction books etc. I have just had the car fully serviced by an independent dealer,including front pads and discs,spark plugs, timing belt and a new Michelin tyre for just under £1000 which was nearly half what Lexus quoted. The car drives fantastically well except for the gremlins mentioned earlier. I have been drving an E-Class Mercedes for the last couple of years and my initial thoughts are the Lexus is a much more comfortable drive, although slightly less enaging.This suits me down to the ground as I do a daily 100-mile commute.
The car has got the Premium pack and the massaging seats are genius.
Just managed to track down the first four services which were done by Lexus Leeds ( got info from the number plate ) ! There is also a sticker in the window for Lexus Stockport.I have contacted them and unfortunately they cannot locate the vehicle on their system.
