Default Wheeler dealers: Lexus LS400

Worst one ever? Buy a car that's pretty much OK, add some unnecessary gadgets and some awful wheels and sell it on for nearly no profit.

The LS400 was a good buy in the first place though... wonder how much LPG conversions cost?

didnt think the wheels were awful, i liked them on the car, but £300 for the lights was not worth it and yet again they make no reference to any labour costs!!!!

Think that was the last in the series this week, next week Mike is back with a new series called Autotrader.

The Lexus was not too bad, although I agree with the lights mod. No need. Think they done the rear bumper, the front indicator lenses, the wheels, the wishbones on the front suspension & the knackered display on the dash. Or is that another car i'm thinking about?

Canny be ersed with this <£200 profit though. Whats the point.

Most of his car sales were staged anyway, an ebay link was posted up on passionford last week containing 3 of the wheeler dealer cars all for sale by the same person that were "supposedly" sold to separate buyers.

Il find the link......

You can check his completed listing Mr. M & he's sold a red BMW 635 CSI Auto (which I can't remember being on WD) + the blue corvette that was on the show either last week or the week before.

Yeah i remember the BMW 635 CSI Auto, it had god awful wheels on it when he bought it, apparently it was in the UK, then Canada (where the wheels were changed) and back to the UK.

The Lexus one was a bit of non-programme.

Two half hour episodes on changing the wheels. He didn't even open up the bonnet!
