What are you guys doing in regards to servicing your Celsior?

IE

Logbooks, where your taking it, at what intervals?

Had it for 4 months now and put on about 3,000kms since being complianced/serviced at Grey Imports where Nathan knows a bit about these cars, I live 3 hours away in Nowra on the south coast and wondering whether it'd be worth taking some place else other than the local family mechanic where he's probably never worked on one.

Thoughts?

If it's just a normal service, it can't be that hard to change the oil / filter / air filter / spark plugs?

Any competent mechanic could do it, no point paying huge prices for something a monkey could do.

If you wanna play it safe, most toyota places should be able to service a Lexus and therefore look after your celsior. Not dirt cheap but cheaper than Lexus that's for sure.

Toyota know how to charge for servicing as well. I picked up a mates Corolla which was in for an oil/filter change and it cost $450 (and they didn't do a great job either). That's more than Audi charge :S

There'd be an import place at Nowra somewhere? Just take it there or to a mechanic you trust.

So this whole thing about servicing is a bit of a wank? I read some articles saying not to buy an LS400 unless it had a service history and also one saying that just because you can afford one does'nt mean you can afford to run it, so theirs nothing out of the ordinary that needs to be looked at or check compared to any other car? IE air suspension?

Blair........Normal provisos should be observed, BUT with extra attention paid to the oddity's of an LS400,........MAINLY the air-suspension.
