That's true that is

Turns out the boot wasn't leaking after all, it just smelt of damp, I've stripped it out, cleaned it and given it a heavy dose of Fabreze, it was bone dry, even after a downpour and a direct hose piping, reading through the receipts the rubber was replaced last year, once less job to do

I live 35 minutes away, in Nottingham

I fitted the new, Derby made, bonnet struts this morning, it took all of 15 minutes, very well made and a two year guarantee, a little bit more expensive than eBay but I prefer to do a job once http://www.sgs-engineering.com

Never buy Supermarket fuel, I only ever use Shell or BP, Supermarket Diesel has had a real reputation for years, we have the worse Diesel in Europe, it's probably the same for Petrol?

Sold our BMW 5 series, after being told a new DPF (fitted) would be £2500, and that it would be likely to need replacing within the year, bought a LS400 for 2k instead, and that is in addition to the £2.5k we were losing in depreciation each year!

I bought a mk4 yesterday for 2k, full history, two owners, okay, it needs a couple of small fixes - the engine bonnet struts and the boot leaks (I found that out this afternoon) but I paid 2k for it and it's a DIY fix, thanks to this excellent forum. On Monday, we sold our BMW 5 series 73,000 miles for a really good price, however, we've had it for 3 years and each year we've lost 2.5k in depreciation! The Lexus drives like a whale compared to the BM but it don't half shift, it's quiet as a mouse and in superb nick, I love it. I would have to cover some huge miles to spend an extra 2.5 grand on petrol each year, wouldn't I? All in all, I'll never buy a new or nearly new car ever again, not when there are LS400s being sold at 2 grand, why would you?

Thanks Pepe, I took my mum out today, she's 88 and even she said it was a superb car, when I told that I paid 2 grand for it she couldn't believe it, as only last week she paid £2350 for two hearing aids. A superb, drives like a Limo, Lexus L400, it'll cost you less than an hearing aid LOL

Those iPad apps are always worse than the websites IMO, looks like you've wasted the price of a litre of fuel for the Lexus, always a huge mistake that

Gud day mate

Likewise, we sold a very nice 5 series BM this week, and a day later got the Lexus LS400. The Lexus is way softer, much faster and quite a lot older, we do, however, have loads more money in the bank LOL

Standard! Go wash your mouth young man! LOL

Hi mate, we will need to see some pictures it is compulsory, great cars eh?

That doesn't bother me, I was never a fan of flares, or big collars come to that

It's got a set of really good quality over mats, I think that they are OEM but I'll have a look in the morning

It's a Parrot Bluetooth phone do dah, the last owner had it put in last year cost him £150, I've not tried it yet

125k miles, cost 2k, had to order 2 bonnet struts, the bonnet is so heavy

On the 65 mile drive home it registered 30.4 mpg how accurate is it? I was quite pleased TBH

Hello, just got back from picking up a, new to us, LS400 1997 is smashing condition, it's got a Full Service History, timing belt and water pump replaced 20k miles ago, is there anything that I should be watching out for? Initial impressions, boy it's fast and comfy. Thank you for reading

You think thats bad read this wally and how poeticly he describes all about where he trades from but nothing about the car. Care in the comunity I think. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a6f366822 Mike Well cool innit tho

I wouldn't touch it at £1k, "Low milage" and "one lady owner" ring alarms bells with me, I would rather read "Full Lexus History" and "mainly motorway miles" anyday

Googled Lexus LS400 and next thing I know I'm here
