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.

    • Photo quality is terrible, but there's a few things on that board that give me suspicions it has some issues. Add to that, I'm hoping the cut and exposed wires under the dash were not exposed or touching each other before you pulled that all apart.
    • Stories like this are why the immobilizer installs I've done are 100% reversible. No harness cuts.
    • update; Replaced oem starter motor with a Jaylec 70-61111 car still didn't start, moved over to the alarm system unraveled the spaghetti checked the solder end points, PCB board burn smell, wiring ends, capacitors, water damage everything looked fine restarted car vroom. restarted 5 to 6 time over an hour started put every thing back together only to not have it start any more. looks like i will be removing the alarm system next weekend.      
    • Lots of people. Could be a lot of things like people have said. Either the heater hose/pipe, the turbo coolant return that wraps around the back of the engine, or a core plug. I have seen all three. If you want me to guess wildly though I would bet it's one of those hoses for the turbo coolant return. Or the brazing/welding for the Y- section has failed. Get a borescope down there to be 100% sure.
    • FWIW, I've aerated oil, and cams snapped. You can figure out the rest 🥲
