Mesa Red - Tan interior - sorry the BEST! I find black interiors too dark. A light interior prevents SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Sandero - 900cc turbo? No thank you! -
That looks a gem! Congratulations!

Yaris / Jazz / Corolla / Verso / Micra / Pixo (?) / Nissan Cube (left field!) / Skoda Fabia What is your budget? -
Any photos?

I remember the days when if you got 30mpg out of a 1.3 Cortina - you were doing well!

The reality of driving a 20+ year old car..
Spacewagon52 replied to stereorob's topic in Lexus General Discussions
You can have a short ride / drive in a LS400 and not be particularly impressed. Own one for over 6 months and then you will begin to appreciate how good they are. -
Not many for sale at that price and mileage - those that are available are located up north. What is wrong with your RX 400h? Good luck with your search.
-
Can you add some photos please?

230,000 miles?

I think they are lovely looking cars. They appear much bigger in the flesh.

Great mpg

Managed 33 mpg on a 62 mile round trip. Motorway and single carriage roads plus a bit of town driving (6 miles) -
Can we have some photos of your two cars please Malc?
-
Please do a quick comparison of your MK1 and Mk 3 Malc. I keep threatening to do a review of my Mk4

I sold all my cars too cheaply!

Depends on the TYPE of Automatic Gearbox you have. The video below, I found very informative - worth watching as it also deals with electric and hybrid cars.

There has been a storyline in the radio series about a charging station application with cafe on the edge of the village.

Check strap issue
Spacewagon52 replied to Valentine's topic in RX 300 / RX 350h / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h+ / RX 500h Club
The video shows the removal of a check strap on a RX350 - not your model but I would imagine a very similar procedure. Are you prepared to name the dealership? I would consider that poor service but possibly they might argue it is incorrect opening of the door (swinging open harshly, wind?). Writing to the Dealership Principal might be one course you could take. Looking at the video might explain their reluctance - not a two minute job but doable by a competent technician! https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Lexus+what+are+check+straps%3f&mid=EC1C34FE881427A076A7EC1C34FE881427A076A7 -
You have been caught Ken! A closet Archers fan like me!
-
Are they being serious? Is that the genuine cost of replacing a strut? That is ridiculous.
-
Ed this is EXACTLY what is happening in Ambridge!

That will be the Holy Grail!

I could not agree more Ron. The poor reliabilty and finish would put me off. I do not need to race about, and to be frank it is very difficult on our busy roads. Wafting along at legal speeds in a 4 litre V8 is an experience you should have before they become extinct! I have nothing against electric cars - just any car that is poorly made and unreliable. hence my choice of Lexus/Toyota/Mitsubishi (in the past)

Your response, Gary, is interesting. Whenever I have bought a "newish" car, my expectations are high and I have sometimes been a little disappointed. When I have bought an older car, I have zero expectations and that has usually been very surprisingly good! You do need to own a Lexus for a few months before you fully appreciate their worth. I love the colour combination. Please keep us all informed how you are finding the car. Congratulations on being soooooooo..... patient!
