191,000 miles RC-F

H3XME · September 3

I've just come across this on one of the FB pages with Jap cars for sale.. 191,000 miles is crazy amount for a car like this! It's great to see someone's been actually enjoying their RCF. Wonder if the previous owner(s) is on this forum. The car is listed for £17k although people were saying that the exact car was listed on Lexus website for £15k a few weeks ago.. Perhaps he bought it thinking he can quickly flip it for a bit of profit.. Questionable decision making in my opinion. People just don't buy cars like this with such mileage for this amount of money. Going to take some time to sell.. I'd personally just enjoy the car..

I'd be interested to find out if there was anything other than normal service items that needed replacing.

I wonder how... sales rep driving around UK everyday? Nice choice of the car to be honest... ~~I think there was one LC500 with similar mileage as well... something like 200k... maybe same guy?~~ - just checked it was US car not UK https://www.carscoops.com/2023/12/this-2019-lexus-lc-500-has-been-driven-almost-200000-miles-in-just-four-years/

I reckon RC-F is probably most reliable from all of the RCs, no hybrid, no turbo, most of suspension is already reinforced, body also has a lot of reinforcement, which just means less rattles etc. developing over the time, engine is least stressed under normal driving conditions... so if I were to guess over that mileage should require least maintenance.

I would certainly buy it, but not for £17k nor £15k thought... just can't see how that could be the price when car with less than half of mileage and still under warranty costs £24k... and they even go lower. 2 months ago there was white RC-F for £21k with 104k miles... It maybe "by far" the cheapest, but still not "far enough" - for me car with such mileage is more like ~£10k car. Doesn't mean anyone will ever sell it for that price, but it would be rational knowing how much parts the car will require to bring it back to good condition... and none of the parts are cheap on RC-F. I obviously assume that key parts are still good, engine, gearbox etc. After all they only needed like regular oil change, which I wold hope was done. But at very least we looking at set of shocks and all the bushings replaced, water pump, spark plugs and that is £5k just in parts alone + labour and car still not going to be worth money after that because it already has that mileage. So I guess what I am saying, I agree with £17k price - (minus) all the work that is needed on the car... and that makes the remaining value £10k. Or the seller can put £7k worth of parts on it with all the receipts to prove it and then it becomes £17k car.
