Hi all. I'm a newbie member of the forum and also a new SC430 owner (which I'm loving) I'm taking part in a charity driving event next year to raise funds for the Air Ambulance and the only 'rules' of the event are that I have to buy a V8 powered car and I can't pay more than £2K for it. As a Lexus owner, my thoughts are naturally geared towards buying a LS400 or 430 (maybe a GS430?) I know that at that price point I'm going to be looking at some pretty old, high mileage cars with potentially some issues, but I'm banking on the Lexus reputation for reliability seeing me through (I'll be covering around 2500 miles in the space of about a week) I've already had a look at one 430 at that price and was put off by the engine management light coming on during a test drive. When I chat to owners of other cars for sale at about this price point, most of them seem to have the same issue and most often I'm told it's an o2 sensor issue. So, first question - is this a common fault, is it a major issue and is it an expensive one to rectify? The second common issue I'm coming across is the VSC light on - same questions regarding this problem. Final question at this time - at this price point am I looking at the wrong car?
