Lexmanic

LOOKS GREAT TO ME BUT THEN i'M SCRAPPING MY 98 LS 400

Have you reported them to TS

You do know people smuggling is a serious offence

Got any links

Pics pics no good without pics

Yes find a local mobile franchised body and paint repairer who will come to your home. Usually if you send them a photograph they'll provide an estimate over the phone. As for the dents and dependant how bad they are they can get them out WITHOUT further damage to the body and without using any filler. We had one of our done costing £70 and it was an excellent result

Having read your latest post I think you've made the right decision It may or may not have cost a fortune to put right Better safe than sorry Good luck with your hunt

Looks good to me and the mileage ain't that bad either + its had the cam belt and pump changed That alone could cost a few hundred

Very nice

Nice..........How much?

There's a chap who advertises on ebay

Yes it looks bloody awful. Ruins its whole appearance

Your very kind thanks

How much time would you need?

As the title states is a sad sad day. As some members may be aware Mr Lexmanic, because of health problems, hasn't been on the site for some time, I Mrs Lexmanic have and after much soul searching its been decided to dispose of our 98 Lexus LS400 (its displayed in the Avatar). When 1st parked in the drive everything worked including the dash temp gauge but as the battery is completely dead this can no longer be confirmed. A new battery should resolve any doubts. Also having been parked in our drive and not driven for about 2 years has had a detrimental effect. Eg The tyres are flat and perished although they should inflate to aid its movement but should not be considered road worthy Mr Lexmanic has spent as considerable sum including a rear section SS exhaust, new starter, complete respray, new front and rear windscreens, refurbish wheels etc. etc.It also has LPG (its still got a full tank) BUT its disconnected as it may be faulty I expect anyone who wants it to offer me sum of money that THEY think its worth. In addition they MUST be able to remove it within 48hrs. This last requirement is I'm afraid a deal breaker and anyone who's interested PM through the club site. Also please note there will be no Dutch Auction 1st come 1st served Regards Mrs Lexmanic

And the current owner

Whats wrong with it? Surely you can tell us that?

With respect not having heard the other side's responses I suggest 1st the OP describes the faults thereby giving us some idea whether or not they were apparent at the time of sale Chris (Mrs Lexmanic)

Most of todays qualified drivers, young or old, couldn't pass the current test never mind a revised one. I know this because I used to teach driving instructors. 1st they were taken out in order to study their current driving skills and not one would meet a standard that would allow them to teach. They had to be trained and their own driving skills improved. Those that argued were deemed not fit to teach learners and dismissed from the course

Disagree. Clearly those backing and promoting this aren't yet 70years of age Those who introduced the drink/drive legislation weren't drunks, but it doesn't mean they weren't right to do so. At least doctors now have an obligation to report older drivers who might be losing some of their abilities. Of course there are other motorists who might do us harm through their incompetence and lack of regard, but should one particular group be protected from standards that are applied to others just because of their age? Should we be pro-active in an attempt to reduce risks? Or should they be allowed to 'soldier on' regardless because, for example, 'its their only way of getting around'? We all know that, with age, both physical and mental ability tend to decline. If a new, younger, driver went for a test and had reactions so slow that he was a risk to others, would he, should he, be given a 'pass'? Like I said, I think we should all be re-tested regularly anyway. At present, re-tests can only be ordered by a court under certain circumstances - its a reactive process, something has to already have happened for it to be applied. Pete Only if ALL drivers are tested at fixed intervals. Some of us older drivers still remember how to overtake safetly on single carriageways an art that is being lost because of dual carriageways and motorways. Also most older drivers started out riding motorcycles/scooters as cars were unaffordable in our youth. Riding a m/c or scooter gave them an acute awareness of their surroundingsa as well as quick reflexes. Today and for a couple of decades prior young drivers can go straight into highpowered cars with little experience of how to handle them particularly when they get out of shape

Disagree. Clearly those backing and promoting this aren't yet 70years of age

They are required to give their selling price to OP or the PX which ever is the greater sum
