    2006 S350, NCT July 2018, 1 month tax left, LPG converted, and says it's got a full service history and new tyres.

    From a dealer, €7250... you'd imagine there's €250 still could be taken off that?

    Seems a lot for a 11 year old, but LPG might be a nice change from diesel.
    UK specs ones seems better for the money, don't know how they can justify 3.5k for VRT though, gutted, and I was hoping under 2k VRT.

    They're probably the cars you export (VRT refund etc.,?)
    I think nicer Lexus GS450h models (old tax) are mostly going export these days (or so I was told).

    I think they were probably being exported frequently, before the pound tanked v the euro! Today €1 is buying 93p! I reckon quite a lot left the country before brexit and many who have these cars are hanging onto them, because you get such peanuts here now for such beautiful cars...
