Other than sat nav, zenons and and extra 20 bhp, is there anything else that the MkIV had over the MkIII?

Everyone says that MkIV is the one to get, but does this unfairly overlook the MkIII? You can get a decent one now for no money.

I would interested in the insight of those that have had both models.

I quite like the old cars too. Not too many left so be quick and £500 will probably get you what you want. Shame really.

The leather on the early cars is by far the best.

A high miler with lots of history and moolah spent on it will be a gem.

Forget about the mileage, look for the history

Guess what? Yes, the 400 has been listed AGAIN! Another 1 day auction

This must be a real lemon

On another 24 hour auction! He has sold 4 cars this month and got 3 negative feedbacks from them!

I bought a new E320CDi Sport in 2009, had pretty much every single option it could possibly have.

Nice car, no soul. a 1991 LS400 has so much more 'feeling' in it.

Trust me, you will be bored in 6 months, I was and got rid just before the warranty finished last year.

Well it finished again around the same magic number, £1100 odd, are we taking bets as to when it's going to be relisted?

Spot on, it's been relisted

I smell something fishy. And I'm not talking about the contents of Baldrick's apple crumble

You will lose about 10% of your mpg and save about £2.50 a gallon, say 10p a mile or so. So 10000 miles and you have covered the conversion costs.

But you will have to get the lpg system serviced which will be an extra cost.

To be honest I wouldn't go for a £1000 conversion, you should spent twice that for a decent prins system if your going to do it.

I guess there is the question that how long will it take you to do 15000 miles for you to roughly break even?

There is also the point of view that lpg lexus's never 'quite' run right, something 2 different people have said to me.

I think this person has 2 accounts, as he is also selling a Gs430. I emailed him asking if the cambelt was done on the car and he still emailed me back.

Yes he does have 2 eBay accounts. Makes you wonder why?

I dunno why but these 93/94 cars (i think they were) are my fav yet I have never had one?

Anyone here like to whet my appetite and tell me the good, the bad and the ugly?

Hi,

Firstly can the super long life 'pink' coolant be used in a 2001 430 engine? Or must you stick to the long life 'red' stuff?

If not, what is the recommended change interval for a flush and coolant change after 100k miles on the red stuff?

Thanks

Hi & Welcome how long have you had your Soarer Any chance of some pics??

Yep, when I get a chance I will post some up in the Soarer section.

Mine's a very late (94) UZZ32. Number 838 of 873, can't be many of the other 45 made after it left these days. Plus thanks to the glorious Steve Smith of the Soarer Sanctuary the hydraulic suspension and 4 wheel steer work perfectly.

Mine also has parking sensors, heated seats Auto Airpuri (dunno if you can still get the stuff for that), electric sunroof and the lovely black interior.

I previously had another UZZ32, great cars, should be in a museum one day really.

Hi and welcome to LOC :)

I bet you've got the only Toyota Soarer on the Isle of White!

Funnily enough, not. Bloke at the end of my road has a UZZ31 and in another part of town a guy who owns a hotel has a UZZ31 and 32! Sandown is the Soarer capital of the IOW!

Mine's the best tho!

Tell me what I am letting myself in for!

I actually wanted an LS400 but this was a deal too good to refuse.

Hi all,

I have a UZZ32 Soarer (yes, I know it's a Toyota) but I may have an LS400 coming soon.

I have had to put my location down as Hampshire because there was no IOW option!
