Which one of these Lexus LS400s would you buy?

I guess the idea is if the owner had a big bum it would drag on this wearing it out. More in and outs of the rear end equal high miles lol

If you zoom in on the tyres of the first one, squint through the layers of tyre paint and i'm pretty certain they're Chinese ditchfinders.
That would be enough for me, could always ring the owner up and ask.

Thats one of my own buying rules...if an owner cares so little to fit such rubbish then i expect unseen maintenance to be equally shoddy.

My opinion only of course.;)

Hi
been looking at these two cars
would like to know which one you would buy and why?

Neither, £1k or less should buy you a decent one.

That is really helpful, I am sure the OP will really appreciate that input.

Lee,

I know he said cam belt done at 65k - but how long ago was that? They are due at 60k or 5years, which ever comes first.

I like them in blue......
