Late 2012 IS F at BCA Auction Walsall

LN62 AXV - USB with Sunroof & Option alloys. 

I tried to find this car back in 2019 when it was with Lexus in Scotland. It appeared later in a dealership in the Midlands in 2020

It has 46k on the clock and 4 owners.

Sadly looking at the BCA condition report it has had a hard life.

Anybody know this car?

According to the MOT history, it also didn't have an MOT in 2018 or 2019?

I wonder why the bodywork has so much damage..

It's hard to see the exact damage from those photos. It might have been someone going around with a touch up stick and doing a less than stellar job. Wonder how much it will go for?

It was on sale in July 2020 for £27k - went off market really quickly as in a couple of weeks.

I was watching this one and in contact with the dealer at the time - think it was in Newcastle. It dropped by £2k then disappeared - sold was the message from the dealer. I was waiting for funds so missed out. Perhaps a blessing disguise?

It then appeared again end of the year / early this year at another dealership and went again.

Crucially the mileage has not changed at all since I was watching it in July so seems as if nobody has owned/used it and it continues to be passed around the trade.

Would love to know what its problem is....I am sure a lot of those highlights on BCA report could be easily corrected by a dealer wishing to invest. Perhaps something more sinister underneath... a shame, my fav colour combo and great mileage!

To close the loop on this one, it sold yesterday for just under £22K + fees etc.

My climate screen doesn't look like that, I've got a 2012 as well?

This is actually a 2013 Model Year. The chassis number is JTHBP262605010879. Production date is approximately August 2012 hence the revised infotainment. AFAIK this is the only 2013 model I have seen in the UK although I have been told there are 4 others. All the others including the 13 plates are late registered 2012 models.
