OMG….😱 Really? And there was me thinking Lexus/Toyota made everything from the carpets to the screen wash and oil. 🤔

I know, no concerns about the rating or quality, it was just I was trying to keep originality.

Has anybody who has replaced the battery in their RC-F or GS-F managed to obtain a Lexus battery? Mine has been on its way out for sometime so I ordered one from Lexus Parts Direct and a Toyota equivalent has turned up. I know that this is common practice by Lexus dealers but I was very much hoping to replace the original Lexus battery with the same Lexus battery.

I’ve read that it’s gross profit, but can’t find the source of that. Cazoo are one of a number or similar tech companies looking to grow their market share as quickly as possible to cash in on an IPO. There’s a really interesting article here: https://www.standard.co.uk/business/cazoo-spac-shares-ipo-alex-chesterman-b935891.html#comments-area

No way. How would you pay for all of your business overheads out of £143 profit per car? Let alone people’s wages as well.

No it shouldn’t lift. Is this towards the back (nearest the windscreen)? if so there are usually a couple of hooks at the back of bonnets make sure those are there and working properly

Unlikely you will be able to get to it from the wheel arch as the bumper sits over the rear valance and side quarters. If you release the bumper at the bottom (will need to support on axle stands) then you may be able to get your hand up to the back of the sensor. However a lot of manufacturers, including Toyota/Lexus fit polystyrene between the plastic bumper and the metal reinforcer to absorb energy in low speed impacts which may hinder your access.

You’re main concern when buying a car is what other people will think about it? *weird*

Agreed your wasting your time looking at an RC considering your car history.

That’s not ‘quality cover’ that’s just a cheap premium. You will find out what their quality is like If you ever have to claim.

Nice looking seats (contrasting leather) in that RCF

Interesting that there are currently more LC’s listed for sale on Autotrader than there are RCF’s

This can help https://media.lexus.co.uk/category/corporate/sales-figures/lexus-sales-figures/ But unfortunately the RC’s are all grouped together. However if you deduct the number of RC300H’s from the total RC’s this will give you a total of 380 RC-F’s and RC200T’s. Not going to be many RC200T’s in that number 😎

Smart move 😎

Did they all manage to leave ok without the help of recovery services? 😁
