RCF with 189k miles on AT!

Bluethunder · August 14

Lowest price RCF I've seen. Previous owner(s) must have spent a lot of time at the petrol station!!

This must be the highest mileage RCF in the country.

Just looked at the photos of it on AT, my conclusion you get what you pay for although I'm sure there must be plenty of life left in the engine.

Trade value £9100.

I offered him £11k today. He laughed.

We will see..

Even autotrader says its a high price , 15k a bit steep for a 200k mile car but 12-13k definitely worth

Bugger… i was hoping i had the highest mileage but im less than half that at just over 91k ☹️…well credit to owner off that one for actually going out and driving his F rather than it being a weekend or driveway queen

Went running to AT when I saw this thread, but.

"This car is a part exchange that we have just taken in, it is being sold as is on a trade sale basis for substantially below market value, we will not be preparing it or providing any warranty, this is NOT a retail sale."

I'm out lol.

I presume it would get Lexus warranty once serviced?

Bluethunder · August 16

I think the mileage is too high to be covered on the relax warranty.

It is, the Relax Warranty is up to 10 years or 100,000 miles. After this, the Extended Warranty is up to 15 years or 150,000 miles.

I just sold my 110,000 mile RCF which was still in excellent mechanical condition (as expected!)

I’m not sure on the legalities of selling a used car as a trader to a retail customer without any form of come back if anything goes wrong. The CRA 2015 provides certain protections to consumers in this instance, even without an explicit warranty agreement. I don’t believe that simply stating it’s a trade sale basis would relieve a trader of their legal obligations!

DamianLEX · August 16

Of course it’s not legal. As I stated a trade price is around £9k anyway so he is trying to nearly double the money and avoid any responsibility. A total cheeky cxxx

B1RMA · August 16

Hopefully any potential buyers would make this forum their first port of call and be aware.

gb1600e · August 16

I saw this on AT and had to do a double take :shocking: But looking at the pictures it needs paint on more panels than not so the milage isn't the only concern. If you own a paint shop or wrapping business it might cost in but not for me. My ideal colour combo too 😥

ubersonic · August 16

Another thing is it's a 2015, so just like an ISF it's going to need the valley plate and the cam tensioners doing if they haven't been already and at that milage both will be on the horizon if not imminent, so that's the better part of £5k any potential buyer would need to set aside.

Ivacerk · August 30

It got sold , so i guess someone on forum bought it ?

DamianLEX · August 31

I can imagine someone took it as a donor or to strip for valuable parts.

eightk · August 31

Previous owner is a legend. Who fancies calculating the fuel costs?!

Malc1 · August 31

Previous owner or owners did what we should all be doing with our Lexii ....... using them to the full and getting all the fun and enjoyment from them that's possible

Just my take on it all
