Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Time is moving on and Lexus no longer manufacture this particular model which is a shame since it is fantastic in terms of comfort and performance. It is also extremely reliable and economical considering the mileage obtained of nearly 40 mpg from a 3.5 litre petrol/250 kilowatt engine. The doors close with a reassuring 'clunk' and the world is effectively locked out whilst all journeys are then accomplished in near silence. It is the most luxurious and comfortable vehicle I have owned for the past 50 years and it's near perfect body and paint job look as good as new. Tyre wear is excellent, steering and handling precise and overall the car benefits from continuous Lexus care and servicing and my own upkeep of the interior including carpets and surfaces. All the above is complimented by a large boot and a sunroof which was an additional feature for this model at the time of purchase plus a rear camera and parking sensors. I will now be considering the newer models in the Lexus range but will only part with this one with regret
