Thank you Jon, and once again for your help in the 'spirit of OOF' going to check out the other one for me.
Do tell us what this gains in terms of spec over an Elite/CDX 'How long have you got'?? Most of the blokes on the Lexus forum use any excuse to travel long distances in theirs, quoting. 'just the sheer joy of travelling in such a luxurious car'. No mention of taking a spare HBV or crank position sensor etc along. In fact when I asked about recommended independant garages in my area. I was told that many of the blokes go to Japex in Kings Langley, these blokes live a lot farther North than I do. I have to say, since buying it I have really enjoyed driving it. I go along with everything said about them by blokes that are on their 4th/5th.'Once you have owned one, you will never want to drive anything else'. My Miggys. The 3 elites I have owned I was fond of, and enjoyed immensely. But the first difference I noted with this car was, the difference in quality of leather. and plushness of the seats. I always thought that the sound system in the Elite's was pretty good. But! I had never heard a '
Mark Levinson' system before. I'm not here to either be an envoy for Lexus, or to 'rubbish' Omegas. The Lexus is a totally different animal, 'far superior'. But then Omegas didn't cost £60,000-£70,000. To answer the other two questions, it is an 04 plate, which after research I plumped for over the 06 I was contemplating. Cost? 'Don't jump on me for this comment'... I paid about 6-7 Elite's for it... It had done 97,000 miles....
