In Wheeler Dealers season 4 episode 12, the hosts Mike Brewer and Edd China continue their project of reviving a 1991 Lexus LS400. The episode picks up where the previous episode left off, with Edd working on the car's engine and suspension.
The team faces several challenges in this episode, including a faulty fuel pump and a damaged radiator. However, they persist and manage to fix these issues, as well as replacing the car's brakes and exhaust system. Edd also works on the car's interior, giving it a thorough cleaning and fixing minor cosmetic issues.
Once the repairs are complete, Mike takes the car for a test drive, putting it through its paces on both city streets and the open highway. He's impressed with the car's smooth ride and powerful engine, saying that it's "like driving a cloud."
Next, the team takes the car to a mechanic to have it inspected and get an appraisal. The mechanic gives the car a clean bill of health and values it at £3,500 - a significant increase from the £1,500 they paid for it.
Finally, the hosts sell the car to a private buyer, who is thrilled with their purchase. Mike and Edd reflect on the project, remarking that it was one of the most challenging but rewarding ones they've undertaken.
Overall, this episode showcases Mike and Edd's skills as car restorers and their ability to take a neglected vehicle and transform it into a reliable and valuable one. It also highlights the importance of thorough inspections and appraisals when buying and selling cars.
