    A quick Google points to the battery which costs 5k! I suppose you could offer him 900..:D

    thats why I said the battery in the earlier post, unreal that the dealer can post this car up without even mentioning this.

    lol @ 900, yeah would serve him right

    The '07 Lexus came with an 8 year / 100k miles battery warranty, which is now expired. I really hope Kylemore Cars won't find a fool to sell that car to :(

    Well, (allegedly) according to PT Barnum, there are 5 new suckers out there since you posted....

    When I looked into these before, I remember that the hybrid system was warranted for 8 years which to be fair is excellent.
    What a chancer though trying to say it's fully covered to 15 and him with it sitting faulty on the forecourt.
    I generally find with these type of sales people that they immediately get thick and make it like im the time waster.
    I once went to view a 2 year old Audi A6 at a renault dealer. All soft chat. Car was belonging to service manager and was looked after on the button.
    In the end it turned out it was a private sale with no history and the worst aligned front end ive ever seen. I told him at that point having looked around it that I wasnt interested and there was no point driving it.
    He jumped into it and took off as if I'd pulled a gun on him.

    Just after checking the s classes again, there is now an 07 with 90k on clock asking 9950! Ridiculous!

    Thats 2 I've seen on dd with the check hybrid system,2 lad's in the uk have found solutions to this problem without paying full wack it usually involves replacing 1 or 2 cells in the battery which are available separately from specialists,afaik the car will drive fine just running on petrol power.

    Another stunning example of an approved vehicle from Kylemore Car's catalogue of pre owned cars.

    This 'approved' business always makes me laugh. Do they have other vehicles for sale that are not approved? If so, I wouldn't like to see them, judging by what the approved ones are like.

    Only slightly less boring than an XG, with about everything an S class has, all wrapped up in a nice cocoon of Japanese blandness. If you're not bothered by the fact that its Fwd, and you don't mind very much for prestige, they make for very very nice cars. This is identical to my da's old one from 99-05, 99-D-85980

    I like them, looks in great condition. That said, maximum tax and underwhelming power and performance (only about 200bhp or something like that). And very bland and dated looking. They will literally have to nearly give it away. No way he will get anywhere near a 4 figure sum for that car.

    Nope, not at all - hence why I didn't post it in Bangernomics :) also main dealer parts aren't very cheap. That said, my da's had 180k miles when he got rid of it and it never gave any trouble really. The only time I remember it being back at the dealers for any real length of time was when my mam tore the side of it off the gates

    They're also savage thirsty, much worse than a 3.5 V8 Bimmer from the same period.

    My 750i in 728i guise :pac: Although it is missing a few features.

    Nonetheless, nice 728i for good money.

    And here's one with a V8.

    +1 that car is practically worthless, will need to be literally given away as you say...

    Id get a ls400 if I was going that route myself, agree on the price.

    Nice car, nice spec. A car like a Rover 75 shouldn't normally be seen as a luxobarge, but fact is that it has a ride more comfortable / luxurious than many cars posted in here

    That said, the price is optimistic imho. The much more desirable automatic would come close but I doubt he'll even get €1,500 for this car...

    A diesel Rover is hardy a luxo barge.

    A V8 is at a push

    Should go near that money if right. About 1750 I'd say.
    I sold an 05 1.8 petrol with 160k miles and 20 months test for 1350.

    That was a couple of years ago then when the car was about 8 years old? That's a good bit younger than this car. You still did fairly well selling if for that price!

    That was a good price considering the petrols suffered from head gasket poblems.

    Nope It was end of december and got the long test by going in early for a voluntary early test 4 months before 10th birthday.
    Imo a fully functioning tidy late 75 is still worth 1200 to 2000.
    Alot of them have niggles that make them un economical to repair for some and certainly make them a zero value car for any dealer to take in.
    I've sold a couple but that is most recent one.

    ventilated seats and the wood wheel, its well spec'd anyway, pity its not black but that price is dreaming , 4k tops, absolute tops. those have appeared in similar spec with not too far off miles for 3k .

    its a LS its going to be well specced anyway, they are going for 5k ish in the UK and usually are high milers, if that is 89k miles its really nothing on them cars. Probably a tad pricey when you take tax into account.

    Is a Phaeton a luxobarge or a big Passat?
    Looks good value to me..
