At this moment in time I'm just testing the water for selling my LS430, but it could be quite possible that by this weekend it will officially be up for sale.

Here's the lowdown:

- 2005 on 05 Plate (newer shape with 18" wheels & 6speed box)
- Every optional extra ticked including radar cruise control.
- Silver Outside
- Unmarked black leather inside
- 122k miles on clock with FULL LEXUS history to 120k
- Timing belt changed at 100k, Plugs at 120k, Serp belt at 122k
- I personally degunked all throttlebody, intake and seafomed engine.
- Just had full alignment done.

Car runs like an absolute dream and has surprisingly low insurance for such a large engined car.

Being the perfectionist I am, there are a few minor things I must point out:

- rear bumper had a brush with a post (previous owner) which has stressed the paintwork but is by no means unsightly or visible from a few feet away.
- rear driver quarter panel is slightly faded and could use a proper buff up.
- I was quoted £250 to fix both of above at local garage.
- Possibly needs new height sensor for suspension. Have not tested yet and does not affect driving, but one sensor is adjusted quite differently to the other and if you're planning on lowering ther car this might need to be changed.


Other than that it's a ridiculous bargain of a car at only £5k!

Marsdendean Pictures ?

I still need to take some tbh as I haven't given the car any sort of photoshoot yet, other than when I did the whole paint detox treatment on it.

If there's a remote interest in the car tho i'll hop right to it and take some.

He didn't show us any when he bought it. Why would he when he sells it?

SHAHZ lol you tart :p whos next on your list, GS?

Nah, at the moment I'm tempted by a Jag XJR 4.2 Supercharged.

Ideally I'd like to have gone with another jap car, but I cant find anything that suits my needs and budget Sad

I've been half tempted to go back to an IS300 as I miss mine sooo bad, but I know I'll want it to be just like my old one, and that's just another money black hole waiting to happen.
