Nice silver one has just gone up for sale for half that.

The government printed 25% of the total money in circulation in the last 24 months. We were all sat at home doing nothing and being paid to do it, with zero output or productivity, there was always going to be inflation. The fuel companies were just the first company to adjust their prices.

If they never return to £25k then we will be in the midst of an inflationary crisis.

Jeez, I thought this would happen. The market isn't in a good place right now.

Just found a GSF advertised for sale on the most random website ever... https://www.friday-ad.co.uk/east-grinstead/cars/lexus-gsf-5-0-v8-mark-levinson-sunroof-azure-19987243/

I regret the cockiness 😆

They do this when the car hasn't physically arrived at their dealership, but they can start garnering some interest early in case someone wants to snap it up.

The purple wrapped one has appeared today: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13412144 Looks like the dealer has gone for a £9k margin on it. I'm sure he will be unwrapping it immediately

Totally agree. I just think the next 2 years isn't going to kind to prices on any car that gets less than 28mpg.

That's not coming to the UK right?

I noticed this too. I like the look of the car, it's a nice spec. But I can't help but think that the dealer has made a big mistake buying it unless he managed to buy it for £30k off the seller. With fuel prices sudden increase as well as consumer confidence at an 40 year low, I think this category of car isn't one to be buying in to, especially when it was for sale for so long already at the same price.

It is. Apple Carplay would make it truly perfect though. The other modifications would make it perfect to me.

I've now settled in with my LS460 and absolutely loving it. With most of the cars I've owned there's always been some recommended or "must-do" modifications to the car. Are there any for the LS460? I have my mufflers coming off next week to get more exhaust sound. I'm researching infotainment upgrade options, it appears that the GROM upgrade is best for Apple carplay? I've seen a few cars with a small lip spoiler which I think looks really good. I'm also considering aftermarket wheels in the future with the view to save some weight and have less stress on the control arms. Anything else I should look in to?

What do you drink and your closest big supermarket? I'll send a drink there for you to pick up

I owe you a beer!! I went to get my wheels balance, the vibration has gone!! Saved me £800 on 4 new tyres and potentially getting my front control arms done way earlier than needed. Absolutely over the moon!!

Thanks guys, I do recall this seemed to have come about after I got my wheels aligned! I may go get it checked again

Watched some youtube videos and this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I've recently had all 4 wheels aligned, so it could be the prop shaft centre bearing.

Just taken my car for a long motorway run. What an absolutely incredible car this is. I have noticed the vibrations come on at around 70mph and actually go away when travelling above 80mph. Very strange.

It's definitely just a party trick. But a good one

Excellent, thanks for the tips guys! I will get it all checked out. I've just discovered the car parks itself!! That feature wasn't even listed on the ad.

Thank you. He actually did live on a pot hole road!! haha I've booked it in to Japex in Herts for a full health check with the intention of them taking a look. I went independent because I've heard the OEM parts aren't as good as aftermarket parts now so hopefully they're more knowledgable and can supply a better replacement.

That's very possible but I couldn't see anything when I had the car up on a ramp, all of the parts matched up and had the same amount of wear on each corner. I've had the alignment checked and it's all fine. I'm hoping it's just the ball joint.

This is what I thought too. The interior condition matches 43k miles and I got a full Car Vertical report and all of the mileage checks out on the MOT history.
