I need advice on buying a 2nd hand Lexus LS400

Sidmon

Lee, That ones an original LS400 and not worth the money especially as he cannot back up the mileage.

Try this for size http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/LEXUS+LS/Ne-2-4-5-6-7-8-27-44-49-53-61-64-67-103-133-146-236,N-240-4294946764-4294966342/advert.action?R=200910329898776&distance=93&postcode=b774ll&channel=CARS&make=LEXUS&model=LS&min_pr=&max_pr=&max_mileage=&vehicleYearOfManufacture=1999&vehicleRegLetter=V

Sidmon, i was thinking of offering him £900,but dont think i will,all the other cars ive seen all have good history, when did the mk 4 ls400 come in ? why are the mk1s bad then? Dont really know much about them,but ive heard lots of people say how nice they are to drive,was thinking about a merc ,but so many people prefer Lexus thats why idecided to go for one.
Thanks to you all again

Not that they're bad but for your price you can afford a mk4 and with your budget you can get one. Athough the engine is basically the same mk1-mk4 the mk4 gives extra BHP and is coupled to that gorgeous 5 speed auto campared to the 3 or 4 speed o the earlier ones. Late 97 'R' plate onwards what you're looking for.

Hi guys,
one more question please
looking to get a lexus LS400 insured,from a 91 Reg up to a 94 Reg, it costs between £225-£285,then for a 95 reg it jumped upto £450,why is that ?
I was looking on the Churchill web site, are there any better quotes then this? please let me know

Thanks
Lee
