    You're right there Simon! Can't get away now, start back at work tomorrow and we'll no doubt be flat out again

    Still, if it is available still in a week or so, may have to satisfy my curiosity BUT I'm worried it'll all be for nothing if it is a dodgy one

    If I end up coming up to take a look, and if you guys aren't going to be put out it would be great to catch up! I would probably have to come up early Saturday etc and go back that night I reckon. Keep you posted then

    I'm working this Sat but I work not that far from that place......so could still meet up.

    I guess it would depend on when your flights are if you were doing there and back in a day

    Only too willing to assist a fellow Range Roverian JC but it would most likely prove to be an absolutely pointless exercise which I must reluctantly decline on the grounds that your good lady is probably typical of her species and it would be most unlikely I could get a word in sideways.

    a few more kms but i would rather have one of these with apparant history

    2001 LEXUS LS430 UCF30R Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

    2002, LEXUS LS430, North Coast, Dealer Used, $32,990 at carsguide.com.au


    Redbook

    The asking prices are all well above red book values aswell. A bit like defenders and isuzu countys!

    I couldnt find any connection between 3wj/4wd city/wakim and the sydney city prestige dealer. (however without log books and such low kms, it does seem shady). If you come to sydney, i'll shout you a beer.

    Is your heart set on a lexus? I bought the wife a 2004 Caprice with all the extras (a rear wing, sunroof and satnav) for under 20k. Parts are easier to get, and a bit more power too.

    Well, have had 175K of trouble free, silent and safe motoring in the current LS400, so impressed with build quality , Mercedes Benz without the price tag. I guess its difficult to explain adequately here, but I'll be definately getting another.
    This later model has curtain airbags and parking sensors, heated front and rear seats, rain sensitive wipers bla bla bla. Being Toymota everything works.
    You really have to drive one to appreciate the experience
