I'm being pernickity but it's not a LS as stated in headline it's a LF -FC If this hits the uk roads --- LS600hl with full relaxation package FOR SALE lol I WANT ONE of these Oh me bad I'm not a gold member so forget the for sale ... I'll give it away free if I get one of these LF-FC's hahahahahahahaha Ps I've only 4 seats in my LS so this option is not a problem with me (4seats = less passengers to mucky up the rear interior 😋😋😋😋😋)

I'm still in lay-by lol been here since 06:10 this morning and not starting till 23:30, am away into shoreham to land a scallop boat then head back up north.... Will count the Lexus's I see on my journey, don't expect to see many tho.... We are indeed a rare breed lol

I believe the unit cost around 65k and fridge trailer about 40k boss bought 6 new units and 8 new trailers this year....and I got a 50p a hour pay rise lol

I'm currently parked in a lay-by 10miles from Brighton on A23 after doing a delivery into Enfield London, and on my journey down here I saw 1 yes only 1 Lexus (rx450) on a 440mile drive .... Shocking

when I'm behind either steering wheel I OWN THE ROAD (or I like to believe I do)

My car was in Lexus dealer for a recall and they cleaned and washed car before I got it back..... I had to phone and complain on condition of car... It was cleaner before they got it... When I recieved it back the interior looked like it had been cleaned with a dirty cloth and all surfaces had been left with a residue on all surfaces.. Was that bad I could barely see emv touch screen, kids complained they couldn't see TV screen in back due to a milky residue on screen..all wood panels had smear marks on it ... I could go on all night about Lexus cleaning car but won't .... Car had to return to them the following week and I asked (no I demanded) their valeter doesn't go anywhere near my car

Ahhh ive found the reason for OUR medical problems..... All related to being LS owners hahaha, As some of you are aware I HAD Lymphoma cancer this time last year, and had the decision wether to sell or park my LS up.... Many kind people volenteered to run it for me whilst I was poorly (cheeky bar stewards lol) I informed DVLA as well but my condition didn't require notification to DVLA or my insurance company Which I thought was odd as I'm also a HGV driver.... Anyways I got better (didn't sell my car) and now back to terrorising car drivers on motorways in my lorry

I've a silver 09 LS600hl with 30,647mls had it just over a year.... And as yet haven't seen another one on the road (remembering I'm a long distance lorry driver and like a dirty whore I get about a bit hahaha) and have yet to clap my eyes on another 600.... Only ever seen 3-4 460s going around as well .......(one of the 460s I seen is my bosses lol 14plate....

Brilliant pic Get a cargo net..... That'll hold her

i have a dash cam and yes it records when parked up if car dunted..... Unfortunately my dash cam was in my flipping bag as I take it with me in my lorry and had packed my bags ready to go away for a week or two (flipping nugget I am lol) even still it would of caught the event as I was parked with front inwards so wouldn't of captured any footage, I'm getting the front and rear dash cams fitted in a week and will stay in car and one I've got just now will stay with me for work Ref CCTV and police... Stores outside CCTV wasn't on and coppers reckon I've no chance as it was seemingly a plain white van... Police did say thes travellers up our way at moment and a possibility it was one of them(now I'm not keen on travellers but why would police think it was them... Think they dislike them more than me

Every LS I've had has been dented 1. Mrs drove it THRU my garage mk2 LS400 repair cost in excess of £2k 2. Rear offside passenger door hit in hospital car park and dented and scrapes into metal mk4 LS400 repair cost £560 3. And again rear offside door (I'm jinxed with offside door) lol LS600hl

Went shopping today at asdas and parked in disabled bays (youngest entitled to to it) came out to find offside rear passenger door scraped and a HUGE 1.5ft dent on it..... Witness said a works van pulled in and driver ran into shop and came back out and turned to sharply and front off his bumper hit my car, then driver stopped looked at damage then shot off sharpish... Unfortunately witness was a older gentleman with poor eyesight and didn't get reg plate plus no CCTV footage at store.......GUTTED Only had the one quote so far and it's not as bad as I thought (£400+)but still a bill I didn't need to be coughing up Having problems uploading photo I've spent a while with my electric polisher and got 3/4s of scuffs out even tried pulling dent out with suction cups and the YouTube trick of heating dent up gentle then cooling down rapidly with compressed air but didn't work for me 😟😟😟 I'll try again to upload a pic of damage....

I was done doing 44mph on the A1 just north of Newcastle on a single carriageway in my lorry... Cars allowed 60 lorry so 40 (laws changed now and allowed to do 50 in a lorry on all single carriageways in England but only 50 on A9 in Scotland ) 40 others on the course I was on all car drivers bar me doing just over limit

Nope didn't work for me lol I had a speed awareness course a few years back and seeing as I live NE SCOTLAND i had a few miles to travel as we in Scotland don't have these courses so I did mine just north of Newcastle ..... Finished course (yawwwwwwwwwwwwn) then sped back up the road... Lol ..... But I am more aware of speed cameras etc now tho

I travelled a total off 2347mls last week from north Scotland down to Fleetwood,Scarborough,Newcastle Edinburgh Glasgow Aberdeen Grimsby and I saw NONE and only a handful of other types of lexus's...oh wait I lie I saw a mk2 LS around Middlesbrough, I'm now back home and took my LS into town and parked up next to a Lexus is220 and the guy and his mrs came over to me and actually asked what kind of Lexus mine was lol as he had never seen one like mine before Oh I got such a big head when I told him all about my LS and showed him around it

What mpg did you get lol

I get a beep same part of road just beeps maybe 3 times no visual warning signs on dash but as I said it on the same bit of road next to a pole that has a solar panel charging something I'm thinking its picking up a signal and cars responding to it by beeping (weird I know) Doesn't happen every time I pass solar panel pole (maybe 3/4x a month) never happened anywhere else tho

I have the vaistech ivic (iPhone) fitted in my 600... piece of cake to fit ... Ps the rear cordless headphones go thru battery's quickly , I got brand new ones from Lexus Sheffield when I bought my car last year and one of them has already failed... So bought a corded one as a replacement.... (Personally don't like the size of original ones)

Lol so reading inbetween the lines your no happy with Lexus and want to degrade yourself to a jaguar I had a hiccup years ago and bought a 2yr old jag and within 24hrs regretted buying it.... Uncomfortable noisy and you feel the gear changes lurch.... Your call but you'll regret getting a jag You bought a 2003 car 18mths ago and have problems.... Welcome to the world of 2nd hand cars wearing out... Please point us all in the direction of a car 12yrs old that doesn't/hasn't a problem

Malcolm ....... I saw that post about the low mileage minted mk4 LS400 as well, maybe been deleted as he wasn't a gold member but can't see why as he was only asking a opinion on its value and POSSIBLE sale......

I concur with what tulpen says about battery's... I Had a low voltage battery problem which threw up loads of error which in end had to be reset by Lexus and because of these error messages it changed the characteristic of my braking system which to me made car unsafe to drive so had to get recovered to garage.... Problem ended up being low voltage battery and knackered cell.... Due to low usage by myself of car and car drawing power for all he systems whilst my car was not in use (I was ill for a time and car was laid up in my garage) thes a thread on here somewhere about the issues I had ... But all rectified by a new battery ....

SE-L and buy yourself a ski rack, I wouldn't miss out on extras just for twice a year ski trip ..... As the meerkats say ...SIMPLES

No

I personally would go the SE-L.... I always go for the top spec in cars my GS450h was a SE-L and my LS600hl with full relaxation pack, reason I go for top range as thes nowt worse than buying a car then later wishing it had this this n that on it like the SE-Ls etc, dark cars do look great but will show up dirt swirl marks scratches etc etc more than a light color ,,, I know I've had the expierience of having a black Lexus which looks the dogs dangly bits when clean but ohhhhhhhhhh the swirl marks show up so badly I ended up putting it to a detailer to remove all marks (not cheap) but made me happy (I'm just so pernickety) hence the reason I've now a silver car (will never ever by a black car again in my life) next black car I'll be in will be a hearse but unfortunaly I'll be the passenger (quiet one tho) End of day which one do you like the most (as said in earlier posts don't worry to much on mileage on these cars).. Which car will suit your purpose and do what you want and gives you the biggest grin ..... That's what it's all about GRIN FACTOR, I'm still grinning a year and 2days of my ownership of my latest Lexus
