steviek Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Hi i have for sale my Lexus . It is tested till next april and taxed till end of december can re tax, It is a 1997 newer shape in silver. Has the original chrome alloys and very good tyres.Has had one previous owner and everything works as it should. Has covered 269,000 kms although you would not tell to drive it. Turbos work properly and the engine is very quiet, with no smoke or rattles of any kind. gearbox is also excellent with all functions working correctly even the steering wheel controls both up and down the gearbox. i will try to get photos on here alternatively i can email them. Bodywork is also very good with only a slight scrape on passenger door which was caught on a gate post, will polish out. Looking for offers around £2500 for a very comfortable fast car.

j_jza80 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Have the driver's side doors both been sprayed at some point? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=124528&d=1293551439 I thought that, the pics on the Ebay advert show it up even more. The rear door shut line does not look correct either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
