Not had any problem with my 430..but hey only had a few months but everything is going great.460 is a lovely car I very much like her rear

Ah ok cheers mate

Is he...er that would explain the flirtatious emails.Thanks for that.Thats a relief..

Oem mats turned up today, ordered black for the winter, still have the originals which I will use for the summer.Got them from Lexus Birmingham, really helpful guy called Jo Mitchell who helped me and had them delivered to my address.

Nice one my man, thank you kindly

Very keen on the vaistech for the 430..has anyone fitted one on here and what we're the results?

That's why I got rid of my BMW, fed up with the idrive telling me to get this done, get that done.License to print money.Let me tell you the Lexus is fantastic, but you know that don't you.

No wasn't a Lexus salesman..independent dealer.

Nothing has gone wrong on mine, I have flaking wheels which will be sorted out.If you think of it logically the amount of development that went into the 400 was obviously good for the 430..It was after all its successor, there are merits in both cars I'm satisfied with mine as it sounds like most of you are.Both really good cars, when I bought mine the guy said smart people who know about cars buy a Lexus, the rest buy Mercs and Beemers.Its so nice to be affiliated with smart folk.

Why are the 430 wheels so poor..mine are flaking badly..do you guys recommend refurbish or new wheels?

I notice on ebay there is an xcarlink device that seems to do a similar job..not entirely sure it's the same.Thanks for the reply buddy.

What is this viastech?

Lovely car mate..well done she's a beaut

I came from a BMW audio system and let me tell you the Mark Levinson is just awesome.I love it.Interesting to read everyone's comments, I recently bought a 430 and the car had such provenance with service history it's ridiculous.10 service stamps by Lexus every mot and a wad of bills amassing 10k.So as some have stated if these cars are well looked after they will look after you.As I have stated on another post I have booked mine into the paint shop to make it as good as as I can, the point I'm making as long as the history is good cosmetics can easily be sorted out.The Ls is a beautiful ride..but don't get taken for a ride without the necessary history.

You should clay before mopping, mopping is another word for polishing and the removal of swirl marks..by claying first you will not damage the heads of your polisher. Any decent detailer will do this first. Also mopping could be used to buff the paintwork to give it a lustre..bring the paint alive by removing some of it depending on the coarseness of the product.
