Hey guys
Nice to meet all of the Lexus and especially the LS400 lovers.
Long story short I used to have an PrimeraGT and Subaru Legacy 3.0R, but as I moved to UK I can't bring my car with me (LHD). I was looking at all possible brands and models, as I am really passionate about cars and to be honest I've felt in love with LS400. At the beginning I was thinking about buying myself a nice MKII or MKIII but I do believe, 5th gear, 280bhp and 407 nM make a difference. I'd like to spend around 2 grand, or 2500 at the most, but I know I'd have to keep additional 500 quid in my pocket for extra details, so 2500 must be a really in top condition (which might be hard to achieve, considering that the car is 13 years old). Am I realistic in thinking about a decent MKIV in around 2000 pounds, or should I wait longer and start my search when I'm gonna have like 3500 (Which might be even July 2014)? To be honest, you can even buy a LS400 MK IV at 1200-1500 pounds, but I'm scared of getting a car from a car dealer, even if it says "full service history". The other problem is, that there are not many LS400 on sale, and since I'm searching for one from the beginning of july I don't know if I'm gonna find something really decent. I thought about buying something near Manchester, as I live in the city, but if the price is reasonable and the service record looks fine, then I'm considering going anywhere in UK. So just to recap, for those who hate reading long stories:
Is it possible to buy a decent LS400 MKIV within 1500-2500 budget.
What do You think guys or what are Your experiences with buying a car from a car dealer.
