1) It’s thrashed – I skid it, I slide it, I take it up the mountains, I race it.

2) I’ve pulled most of the trim out + air con.

3) It’s too low - 15,000kay old Racing Logics coilovers.

4) It won’t pass a RWC.

5) It’s in undercoat.

This is a genuine Australian delivered Lexus, plates do not come with the car, $2700 on a new gearbox, $1000 on new radiator, $1100 on new water pump, pulleys and major service, lots of misc things like o2 sensors replace and so forth done, mechanically you can not fault, despite how I treat it.

The guards have also been hand flared roughly 2 inch’s.

$12,500 or swap for something humorous?

Book value at dealers is still mid to high teens. I was offered $8k on a trade in, if I put the trim back in, but the mark up on the GS300 I was looking at was huge, hence the high trade in price. It’s a Lexus, not a Celsior as well… The only reason why it wouldn’t get a LEGAL RWC is as follows;

Too low, coilover travel does not meet legal requirements, no cats, too loud need to put rear trim back in, and tires are debatable. Technically need to change the color of the car on the transport data base to match rego sticker..

I can get a RWC, but I wont, as some p plater shit head will go get him self defected, then I have to deal with stupid parents having a whinge. I never said the car came with rego..

It’ll be sold as is, unless other wise negotiated.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
