Yes that's him

Tony

Seems a good guy and he's local to me also

Lexus Liverpool are just too expensive for me

Good luck

Hi Paul

MVR Liverpool is the indi I am going to use , I have heard nothing but good stuff about him but I have to wait 3 weeks just for a service 

I was lucky enough to own a 4 year old LS430 , it was by far the finest car I ever owned , I only sold it as I ran into financial problems but what a motorway cruiser

I now have the GS300 , it is not half the car of the LS430

Good luck and keep me informed if you find any Lexus stuff around Liverpool 

thanks

Haylands respect 

your honesty and the way you have talked us through possible fixes/ problems have been a real eye opener 

Only one thing I am concerned about I bought the 2009 Gs300 after owning 3 older Lexus 7 years ago.I don't think I like this car , the drive feels twitchy and sometimes it feels like it's on rails if the roads bad.

I hope you don't take a hit with the car price wise and for what's its worth If I still had the money to buy the LS 460.

I wouldn't think twice about buying it off you, put the cheep shocks on because that's the only thing it needs , I wouldn't know the difference.Your a perfectionist I'm not.

Thanks for the entertainment, wow

Ah the famous lexuschap has bought the maroon one suddenly the mileage is set in stone

I will get a LS460 eventually as its my dream car

I will need to be sure though because I do not have your knowledge about cars

Great thread gives me tips on what to look for and where to source parts

thanks

He should be banned from eBay and selling cars in general

i can't understand how he has 100% feedback he must manipulate the system

Just noticed another dodgy deal by Lexus chap

A LS460 was for sale on eBay , owner cannot confirm miles etc 94000, I spoke to the guy he doesn't know the history , he got it from Ireland

Lexuschap wins the bid  for £4500 and puts it on eBay for £6500 now the history and everything is ok , the car has no issues the original owner said it needs slot of work hence the price.

He nay have done some work but he could not prove the mileage,

How long is this deceitful character going to get away with this , 

Posted twice sorry

It's gone to a better man Haylands, I wouldn't have known where to start with the suspension issues.

Did you notice the maroon one that sold a couple of days earlier by the same seller for about £4500 very cheap.

It would be interesting to know how that faired

I sent a PM to ask for the reg to do a check and he never got back to me so I was dubious.

I think you've got a great car ,  its in good hands a fantastic thread as well.

I look forward to seeing the end product green with envy also I suspect 

I was bidding this car you beat me 

My bottle went but I was sorry I didn't bid higher

Good luck with the car, I hope it's a good one 

I have settled with a GS300

I don't pick it up until Saturday

I will post some then, I am looking forward to getting it 

I had a 4 year old lexus LS 430 that was the best car I have ever owned

If this is half the car I will be happy, I am doing a lot of motor way miles at the moment and I will be driving from London to Aberdeen in the 1st 2 days of ownership so let's hope I haven't bought a dog

Hello all

I have just bought a GS300 mk 3

It is my 3rd Lexus but I have not owned one for 6 years

I previously had a GS300 mk 1 and an LS430 both great cars 

I went on to buy jags and mercs without much success so I am back with a Lexus. I was after the RX 400 or a GS hybrid but I seen this on eBay and won the bid so a deal was done.

I have been on the forum before but that was an unfortunate episode I had with a well known unsavoury Lexus dealer from the Midlands

well that's enough about me

thanks

jim

I have been looking at getting s tow bar fitted myself 

it does not look promising at the moment 

If you get any information please post 

Good luck 

how bad is the service history?

It was lost I've been told

The car is with a dealer now and the last MOT was done at the lexus dealership but they have no history.

I will check for the rattling and knocking thanks for the advice.

I have had a gen 1 gs and an LS430 they where both great cars

I've had a volvo s80, merc cls and jags since- comparison I hope this is half as good as the other two.

The mileage is a worry though

Thanks again

Hi guys

I am looking at buying a 2009 gs300

there is little service history but hpi check has verified the milage 114000

Am I taking a big risk ?

The car is cheap and I really like it 

The shocks and brakes have been done 

What would you do

I could could get a 2006 for the same money with lower miles

I am not a age snob but I really like the look of it

Thanks in advance for your input 

He has read this thread and been back on the phone shouting calling me a liar and saying I will not see a penny.

i am not a liar ,I am out of pocket and I rue the day I had any dealings with the man

^agreed 

the number was withheld so it cannot be proven it was Lexuschap 

An extraordinary coincidence maybe?

eBay is rapidly becoming a problem with scam artists

i have bought 2 Lexus off eBay in the past and was very happy with my purchase

i have a CLS Merc at the moment being sold/ picked up this week

i am returning to Lexus 

i will let you know what I buy

thanks for the information I am glad I found this forum

I don't want to get this into a racist thing I have Muslim family

i am merely stating the facts it was quite bizarre , I am not sure if it was meant as intimidation it happened as I have said 

loud screeching noise and Allah ackbar shouted down the phone until I hung up

i have not had any further correspondence with this reptile as it would be futile.

I have no ax to grind against any religion or colour I am merely stating the facts of my involvement with the ****** Lexuschap 

i am happy I never bought a car off this man 

I wish I had seen this thread 2 days ago

i have been texting and talking to Lexus chap over a Lexus for sale on eBay

He seemed like a good guy 

We agreed a price before the car finished on eBay 

I asked him if we had a deal and should I book my flight from Aberdeen to Birmingham he said yes alls good.

i booked the flight told him it was none refundable and he said ok

i got a text the next day to say he sold the car leaving me considerably out of pocket

I sent him texts about the conversation I have on my phone that a deal had been agreed and I have the proof

10 mins later I received phone calls ID held back screaming Allah Akbar and such nonsense down the phone

A truly despicable character who should be banned from dealing with the public

I wish I had read this 1st I have booked a day off work and booked a flight for nothing

This man has no morals
