What is the closest thing to a Luxobarge in estate/SUV format?

Lexus RX probably fits the criteria just about or you might get a 2004/2005 Porsche Cayenne around the €5k.

Range Rover, X5, Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Landcruiser Amazon,

Finding many in the <5k bracket that still work fully will be tough though, as long as its running a 4x4 always has some decent value.

Accidental find looking for 4x4s :

Little suspicious of this range rover but maybe :

Indeed it is but he was looking for a lot more iirc! Nice car especially the sunroof..

California Dreamer · 29-06-2017 06:55PM

Can someone explain the value on the CLS? That's a lot of car for not much money. It can't just be the car tax!

Idbatterim · 29-06-2017 08:02PM

There were a lot of them sold, a lot. There is very little demand for them now...

Fair play, Cartman. That ad has disappeared - probably a scam.

a ton of car for little money

a bit out of price range for luxos but reckon 6k would take it.Seems in decent shape.

Not a barge though and still ugly!!

scamalert · 01-07-2017 08:31PM

to each their own as taste goes i love lexus models.

inajock · 01-07-2017 08:39PM

I think they were a 100 k car when new.

The last production car to come with a tape player. Not pretty, and not a luxobarge...

Arthur Daley · 01-07-2017 10:01PM

Regarded (by top gear magazine at least) as one of the worst cars you could buy at the time.

You trump me, my €120k 2004 Ls430 also has a tape deck.

No, it's the Mark Levinson system

I thought this was interesting, but not so much to deserve a post in the "here's what I saw" thread. Barge earning its keep near Rathgar. I thought it might be at least a 600h but its a '460.

I suppose if your spending the day sitting on your hole you might as well do it in as comfortable seat as you can

Especially when paying flat tax...

Possibly LPG'd?

Can't LPG an LS460 as it's got a fancy dual injector system with both indirect and direct injection. Older Ls430 is a doddle to convert

6th generation LPG injection - in liquid form - can leverage the existing petrol injectors.

CheezePleeze · 04-07-2017 09:58AM

NO price, so probably doesn't qualify, but I couldn't resist posting it...

That's fine for 4 pot engines with dedicated kits that are direct injection only, but the LS460 has 8x direct injectors and also 8x indirect = 16!

It would cost a small fortune to convert as I rekon you would need to go with 2x kits, a standard indirect 8 cylinder kit and a heavily modified 8 cylinder direct injection kit (eg Audi A8 4.2) and a serious amount of plumbing and wiring work to get both systems working together.
