blitz supra Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 lexus gs300 :thumbs: I remember in oohh 95 -96 My mate had one of the first GS300 Sport models, fantastic car... and it had 18 in wheels !!! that was something amazing back then ... LOL Still reckon the old GS300 before the facelift was the best looking one. And lets face it.. bullet proof car and all that luxury for around 3k, I think they were £30k+ or so back then ..

ChrisSZ Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 :thumbs: Still reckon the old GS300 before the facelift was the best looking one. Must admit I prefer the looks of the earlier (pre-facelift) cars too (and the price ) - shame I can't seem to find a late pre-facelift with the VVTi lump in it (ideal for supercharging:eyebrows: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof. Monkey Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Rear passenger windows working, the motors have a habit of going if they do not work properly... All the bulbs working in the dash, as they are quite hard to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I know a guy in birmingham is selling a very nice aristo in black for £4.5k . He is on the lexusforum and piston heads. If you are looking for an aristo I'd reccomend that one.. Why ?? because if I was in the UK I'd have allready bought it and I've had 2 allready. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=36101 This one looks like its worth a squint and green is by far the best stock colour http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GREEN-TOYOTA-ARISTO-SUPRA-TWIN-TURBO-LEXUS-GS-300_W0QQitemZ200052859196QQihZ010QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Second up Martin how much are you retailing that aristo for fella??? I ask as I would be interested in doing a deal based around that red N/A I swapped it for originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Oh and in case you want a decent estate I know you can get hold of a V70R AWD for your budget http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/115525.htm They go fairly reasonable (faster than an NA supe). They are based around the BTTC motor and subsequently handle very well. And heres the thing that alot of people forget they are safe. I know I know safety aint a concern for most lad racers but for family men its a big issue (hence why I now drive a range rover). Volvo's and Saabs may not seem cool but the top of the range ones are and he R in volvo and aero in saab is the top and the quality of the car is increible for the money you can buy them for.

Good find, I want it. Chris, I paid a whisker under £4k for my Aristo, so they are definitely out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I've been doing some serious research in the powerfull estate market recently mate That volvo is seriously good value for money. Only one car manufacturer I've not managed to get much info on is the mercedes. They make some wicked fast estates but I'll be buggered if I can figure out which ones are fast or slow.
