    An option might be an excellent late NX300h? You would not be compromising much on quality but saving on fuel, insurance and VED - provided you find one under the 40K list price. Just another thought?

    I thought people would have already decided that Malc. Interesting to see!

    Good incentive for a plug-in!

    What other car do you run Ed? Plug-in hybrid?

    I am a bit confused about the Luxury Car Tax - I thought you had to pay from Year 1 to Year 5? That is on top of the "normal" VED. Ed, your car is a 2021, so two years old. I thought you would be paying from the start? I must admit that was one of the factors in finally choosing my NX300h.

    But what a lovely drive back!

    Sadly Marek, you have bought the one Lexus model (the diesel) that few people on this forum would recommend. I believe it is the most unreliable car Lexus have made. Some IS220D owners on the forum will disagree with this statement. Lexus cars are hard to beat - many owners who change their Lexus for another brand often come back. Unfortunately you have picked the wrong one. This will probably put you off the brand, which is a shame.

    With that dazzle camouflage, you will be safe from a torpedo attack!

    Good advice.

    I do sympathise with your dilemma. Older cars need some TLC, which costs money. It is deciding when to stop putting your money into a car, that is the issue. They are not cheap cars to run on a tight budget.

    Thanks Kevin. I find the boot capacity in litres, not particularly helpful. I compared the boot liner of an RX400h with an NX 300h. The NX was slightly smaller but in reality it is not as practical for certain items I carry. The seats have to be upright to allow enough space. I was quite surprised that it made so much difference. Doing the comparison with the load liners does not give the full picture. I can live with it but it is just an observation. We all have to compromise on something with the cars we choose.
  13. Spacewagon52
    Did you own a NX300h? How does the boot space compare?

    Sorry to hear you have had this AGAIN!
  15. Spacewagon52
    Yes he did - one of his projects went bankrupt. Extending / altering your existing home is far cheaper than moving. Moving costs (depending on your home value) can easily be above £25,000. That, effectively, is giving away £25,000 you could spend on the build. However, it is not always possible to alter a property to what you require.

    Can anyone beat that? Wow! I will have a go!
  17. Spacewagon52
    The lumber support would push you more forward. Also try adjusting the tilt? I did have something similar on my RX400h but adjusting the above sorted it.

    Congratulations! Can you list all the Lexus cars you have had?

    Regarding classic cars, estates are rarer than the equivalent saloon. As you say they were regarded as utility and used as such. Classic pickups are very expensive for the same reason I guess. in the past I never liked estates - I always chose the standard 3 box saloons.

    Not a direct comparison, but going from a 400h (3.3 litre V6) to the NX (2.5 - 4 cylinder) I don't really notice any real difference to be honest. yes the V6 had more grunt but in "normal" driving I can't tell the difference. The engine in the NX seems just as smooth and quiet. I am not sure if the engine / electric motor is set up differently in the new RX350H. I thought it might be less powerful than the NX, being a larger car?

    The American market is the decider unfortunately. That is a lovely design.

    Out of interest James, would you buy another Lexus?
  23. Spacewagon52
    That is something James! Very impressive - buying the right car can make bangernomics work. Just think of the money you have saved in depreciation alone!
  24. Spacewagon52
    Have you considered Lanoguard? Apparently it is easy to apply but the car needs treating each year.
  25. Spacewagon52
    That is REAL Bangernomics James! Did you have any costly repairs? Best car? Auris or Volvo?
