LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

I definitely owe the Duke a few Beers for finding that, beautiful car but needs a serious makeover inside and out but luckily by the Grace of God I'm well equipped with Detailing products!

Serious power though and no lag in power for a NA Car!

well wear, thats a serious amount of car for the money.

I got it for €2450 after a haggle and as for the tax I gave up the Pub so I'm saving 70 quid a week.

Holy jaysus that was some bargain. Get a project thread up!

Were you wearing a balaclava

Sweet looking motor, you have to literally drop everything when they come up at that price. I wouldn't worry about the tax with that level of luxury, it's a different world.

Sweet ride, you will be able to block out the plebs with the Mark Levinson 19 speaker system.

Savage. I was curious about insurance costs so did a check online ..... 475!!!! I reckon I'm going to look at a luxobarge for my next car toward the end of the summer

If you think that price is indicative of 10+ year old luxobarge insurance, you're in for a shock!

I've plugged a few different barges into the quote system ask coming back under 500 quid. A 730D and a 5.0 litre CLS

Super Valu insurance, strange as my 06 Lexus is250 was €560 to insure last October

Voodoomelon · 22-05-2019 09:14PM

You spiked my interest, so plugged in my 740 to supervalu, €1650 with a silly excess and i'm max NCB etc. Those prices you're getting certainly aren't the norm, ask anyone on here with a big petrol. That's bizzarely cheap for a CLS V8.

FWIW I pay €630 with the AA on a 2006 RX 400h.

28 years accident free, 8 years NCB in my own name, 5 years company car driver before that. Never had points or convictions.

Got rid of the refurb and it's since got a new one. Immediately means immediately.

I sold that to Truckermal four years ago and I can honestly say it's looking even better now than then! Former Lexus Ireland car BTW - spent its first few years being looked after by a single mechanic at their HQ garage getting pampered, even down to diff oil changes. Bought by one of their staff then for a couple of years before I bought it from a Lexus dealer. I had it for five years and then Truckermal.

Old diesel · 27-05-2019 10:34AM

My brother had an LS430 in that same colour combination. (Although the dash is black on the GS)

It's a colour combination that will work even better in the flesh.

Padraig Mor · 27-05-2019 12:50PM

Forgot to point out as well that sat nav is a very rare option on the Executive spec GS of that generation -most of them are missing a couple of buttons which looks awful once you're aware of it; this one has the full set. Wooden wheel and gearknob were also expensive options - circa €1k IIRC.

edit: has heated and ventilated seats too. 6 CD changer. Superb sound system (I still miss this!). And goes like a ****ing train if you bury your right foot to the kickdown button.
