I spotted a newer GS430 which on the face of it looks like a straight car. Also it uses the same engine as my current (MY 01) GS430 which is a peach.
Although I'm very happy with my GS I was thinking that it might be an idea to chop mine in for a slightly newer model, I emailed the dealer through his website.
Two days, no reply. I email again through a well known car site. He replies that day saying he has received no email, how can he help me.
I reply and repeat my original enquiry which relates to service history and cam belt change. Another day, no reply, so I write asking if he has received it, again no reply.
I then write saying that I interpret his lack of responses to indicate that the vehicle is no longer for sale. Again no reply.
Thinking he's unwilling to put anything in writing (which my experience in dealing with dealers has taught me is a very good idea), I decide there's nothing to be lost by calling him.
So today, I call him, he's vague, he doesn't know anything, he'll have to check, it's terrible line, he'll call me back.
Guess what....no call back. How on earth do these guys stay in business?
