Looking to buy a new IS 300h F-Sport

[BillyD]

My local main dealer is advertising a new IS 300h F-Sport with Premium Pack at a £4000 discount, bringing the cost down to £36,685 which is tempting if it is truly a new current car.

Do Lexus do a "Model Year" and can you determine what age of car you are looking at, ie, Jaguar shows the model year at the 10th character of the VIN?

Also I know the the latest Toyota C-HR has an improved Hybrid Battery, has this now been incorporated into the IS300h or did it happen vice versa.

I have arranged a test drive soon and would like to know what I am buying before committing.

It used to be the case that you could tell the age of a car by checking the logo on the glass. Assuming the glass was the same age as the car.

You had to look at the words Laminated or Toughened, and there were dots above and below the words.  I have no idea whether or not something

similar still exists. It's a long time since I looked, and that may have only been with British built cars ?

Then again you can check the age of any UK registered car by going to   ....... https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax
