I'm considering a celsior/LS400 for a daily driver/tow car atm.

one question for you: in what way is this car superior to the local LS400 (to justify the ~$5k premium)?

there are half a dozen locally delivered lexus LS400's in the trading post this week,all '93 models (4yrs younger than yours),with similar km to your car,and all are going for less cash,two almost $10k less than your initial ask of $20k.

I'm not trying to be a smart arse here,I'm genuinely curious as to why the import costs more in this case.

regards,

Justin...

A couple of things to bear in mind...

1) The local LS400s are A or B-spec cars. What this means is they lack quite a few of the features of the C and (particularly) the C-F spec cars. (Things like electric rear seats, rear passengers' controls for stereo, A/C etc, TRC and Air-suspension. The LS400 could be looked at as something of a "poverty" pack in comparison.
2) Most of the local cars of similar age have between 200-250,000kms on them. This one has 153,000.

3) I've come back quite a way from the original price - as much a reflection of reality and the fact that the car isn't perfect (it is, after all, 15 years old). So, when looking at an LS400 for around $13-14,000, and considering ours is a few grand dearer (albeit negotiable);Like the web-site says, we've registered it, put new tyres on it, and done a full service (incl. belts, plugs and all fluids). I would hope you would take the above points into account.

It's an OK car, but we already have a "luxury" cruiser in the Cressida, (and we've spent a LOT of money getting the Cress to where it's at - money we'd never recoup). Additionally we are very keen to sell this, and a couple of other vehicles we have, to begin funding our next (and last!) engine conversion project.

So, if you're interested, come and take a look. I'm more than happy to negotiate a price (within reason Smile
