As the title, I was looking to scratch my itch for a budget V8 & purchased a Lexus LS400-1995. The car is in really good condition in fact it's pretty mint & drives perfect but I just don't like the size/shape. Is there anything else for similar cost? It would also need to be resonably reliable.

Thanks, just had a quick look at the classifieds & a 740i could be an option.

I do like the way the Lexus is put together, everything still works inc the AC. Back to the search & ill maybe have a drive in a LS300.

I like the look of the XJ, How reliable are they? And what's the best version to have?

Been trawling through classifieds, what about a Mercedes Benz CLK 320? Around 1999/2000 they look cracking value for money? Are they as rusty as the E class? Oh & I know it's not a V8.

Well I have advertised the LS, if it sells I will do a few trips to view/drive some of the cars people have suggested. Thanks for all the replys.
