Why is all their feedback "collected DD/MM/YY" and nothing else / no comments? Weird.

I even read the listings to see if I was being dim, but I cant see anything other than it looks bizarre.

There's too many buyers with reasonable feedback quantities for them all to have been 'won' by his mates.
Though... depending on the scale of the ruse, anything's possible? (i.e. based on 'facts' like there are more fake accounts on Facebook than people living in the UK?)

He is concluding the sale with buyer feedback, something like "leave feedback saying its collected and we will send the V5 off / car accepted" I'm sure it's along those lines

I like the wheels... but not on that car. Maybe they're too bling for the soberness of the colour?

Are they a 5er option wheel, or...?

Yup, from the "individual" range.

I really like that apart from the colour. Closest thing to an M5 if you dont want SMG.

I thought that was standard, my E38 is the same (3x memory on driver's seat, nothing on passenger seat.)

Well I collect a Barge next weekend, just bought an LS430 with 60k on the clock.
Went for a test drive this morning and I swear it is more comfortable than my bed.

Waftastic.

Great choice, a wonderful car. I particularly like the facelifted model, but there aren't too many around.

Yep there have rarely been two for sale at any one time for months. There were 3 in the Lexus dealer network last week, as soon as i got a text alert to say that they were for sale, 2 had already gone. I have picked up the third.


Interesting that the newer shape models ( post 2007) are dropping in price too, but all have intergalactic mileages on them even at around £15-18k price levels. Not a problem per se, other than for followers of these threads.

Will you be able to buy a LS 460 with much less than 150k on the clock ? I doubt it. I think i have got a great value car, all for less than price of new Fiat 500! I worked it out as £1600 per metre smile

does anyone know anyone who has taken a punt on one of these? They do come up quite regularly now at that sort of price, and lower... how ruinous can it be?
