the 2nd car was comparable in miles/year as the first car and also had no service history prior to the timing belt+etc...
and dont forget that on new cars in the UK u have VAT+other taxes which is damn near 30% overall iirc

LS400s arent as "liked" in the UK and the 1st car u mentioned has relatively high mileage (annual mileage in the UK is a decent bit lower than the US)
the 2nd car was comparable in miles/year as the first car and also had no service history prior to the timing belt+etc...

a 98 for just under 6k? thats crazy.
A rough(ish) base 98 in the US with 220k+ miles went for 5700 on ebay.I guess its all about supply and demand.
