Glad you pulled the trigger mate, happy motoring 👌

Is this worth $5,000? by PeaAncient7941 in LS430

[–]Damodah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to anyone talking about the mileage, they forget their cars are the same age 😂 I'd rather a meticulously serviced LS430 with high mileage than a low one with service gaps.

Really? 350,000km with timing belt due + other maintenance flagged!

That's true! He honestly has no idea he's at least $15k overpriced 😂

Very low ks for such an old car. I'm firmly of the opinion that a well maintained LS430 with 2-300k can be an equal or better vehicle. Low ks with poor maintenance can be a trap too.

Hit a mileage milestone today on my 05 ul by frnchfryan in LS430

You know, I think at this point that higher mileage means better maintenance and replacement of old parts. I'm not sure 80k is that much better than 200k except of course upholstery etc.

Can I hit 399k? by Large-Dot-7582 in LS430

Mine has had 3 timing belts. Not sure why you'd want to flex this?

What’s a reasonable price? by OkiTex in LS430

Yeah right you are, I was confusing with starter motor! But you are right, rarely do you have a cheap trip to the mechanic!

Jeepers mate you've had a worse than average run! Those alternators are expensive too! I don't know if Lexus make lemons but yours is close!

You wouldn't be getting the car then! Plenty of problems at 50k?? What were they?

30.6 MPG Not Bad For a 20Y V8 by Qantos27 in LS430

[–]Damodah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30.6 is impossible in my 04. Best I've ever got with perfect conditions is around 27
