Wanting to see if there is anything I have missed or anywhere I haven’t been looking. Also it seems you boys don’t need too much of an excuse to go hunting the classifieds

Looking a big luxury barge something along the lines of S class or 7 Series

Criteria:
Petrol (lpg is a bonus if it is v8 etc)
Roughly 250+ bhp
4/5 door
Rwd preferred

Wanting something comfortable that can fit the car seat in the back and be quick enough to enjoy as well. I am meant to be trying to save money by downgrading slightly but I couldn’t put myself through driving something boring.

Obviously at the minute UK mainland is off limits.

01 Lexus GS430? Hadn't thought of selling but if I got £3k in my hand I'd let her go.

Tein coilovers, sport alloys. 4.3 V8. Black, 130k miles
Trying to sort out a time to look at another Lexus at the minute.
Pm me a few photos if you get a chance and any more info.

Right I’ve the head set on a Lexus LS430 nothing with mental miles or riddled with rust.

Anyone got one or know of one tucked away? Quite a few on the mainland but obviously it’s not the best time to be darting over there

Was tempted by the GS but think I want a LS instead, mainly for the factory air suspension to be honest.

Looked at S class and the likes but for some reason I want to stay with something jap...

If you dont mind a fixer upper theres one on Facebook with airbag issues and high miles but is a nice green colour and only £850 iirc

Spotted that to be fair. I’d be looking at something with lower miles for a start and hopefully not needing much if anything. Need it to jump in and daily right away to finally get the forester ready for sale

thanks though

Np, seems to be one of those cars that are just so much more common and better priced on the mainland, unlucky timing

What about a Legend? The “new” shape 1 is serious value.
Could be something to look into when lockdown eases over here. They seem rare enough on the mainland nevermind over here.
As said above I might end up looking across the water for a 430 after the restrictions ease up.

Don’t think I would stretch that far for the merc even with a low bid.

the Chrysler is a diesel but I’ve never really warmed to them. Are they a bag of ****?
