Title: 2.3 Ultima saloon on LPG/petrol
Post by Mike_Floutier on Aug 21^st, 2008, 8:08pm

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that my last Scorp is now on e-bay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=120289914731.

Please let me know if you have any questions but I guess if you've been following my progress over the last few weeks you'll be pretty well up to date.

A big thank you to everyone on the site for all your help over the years, especially the founders and moderators and answerers of difficult questions.

Mike

Just to let you know that dear ol' Scorpy sold for £700 on e-bay last night - sniff, sniff (that's tears of sadness btw - wife says; "you are sad, being sad about a car" - but you guys understand, don't you?!).

Ok, well it's off to plague the folks at http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showforum=90 - hehe. I should have plenty of spare time according to what they say about Lexuses so I guess I'll be back from time to time.

Thanks again!

Mike

Sad to see you go - but when you get fed up with being told its £350 to replace a lightbulb in the facia units ( "because we only sell complete units, sir" ) you'll be back.... ;D lol

been the lexus route before :)

Tarra for now ;)

lol Pinto, I see what you mean by some of the forum posts about the older Lexii. Anyway Clarkson says "it's bomb-proof" and I'm receiving that!

Thanks Bruce I'll keep in touch. THe car I got is a 2002 LS430 with premium pack. Here is an example http://www.iwantthatone.com/cars/lexus/ls430/LEXUS+SWINDON/4231.html. Same colour as mine. Mine is a year older but only cost me £7,000. For more info look here http://www.compucars.co.uk/car-reviews/Lexus/153.html or here for the Top Gear assessment http://www.topgear.com/drives/C4/A5/roadtests/02/01.html.

I have the premium pack which includes air-ride suspension and rear electric reclining and massaging seats along with a fridge, top of the range Mark Levinson stereo etc. etc.

If the Scorp had a worthy successor this would be it. I've got it converted to LPG so it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to run. There is a help site nearly as good as this one and the full Lexus worshop manual (and I mean FULL) is available on e-bay for £1.45 - I kid you not, I bought two!

Byee.

Regards

Mike
