Brilliant deduction Holmes! I wondered who would spot that!

To be fair to you Noby, I have never been interested in sports type cars, so the thrill of driving one would be lost on me. I understand what you mean, you are saying that the driving experience is totally different. It is horses for courses, I find it hard to understand why someone, who wants excitement, would buy the NX. Personally I would love to be bored by such a car. A sports Alfa Romeo would give double the thrill - 1) The driving experience 2) The excitement of wondering when it will go wrong.

Ah! It is a new car then! I feel like Inspector Clouseau! "Prepped" that is code for PDI! Two weeks to wait for a second-hand car? Definitely NEW! A new 450H? Yes my money is on that! Unless of course we are given more information!

I saw that one - looks good apart from the CD player.

From various posts on here, the consensus of opinion is that you can't drive like a racing driver on our crowded roads. The LS 400 will do far more than is legal and safe. If you want to drive with "spirit" then the race track would seem to be the place for the GT86 et al. Even Top Gear only used closed roads for extreme tests. A Fiat Panda will give you lots of thrills at a much lower speed. Just my thoughts.

I could not disagree more - it is not about driving to the limit - it is the refinement that I find so pleasing with the LS400. I will admit, I do have to be careful as the power is intoxicating at times - but I am training her to to keep to 70 mph.

I hear black is the new silver. Brown is coming back though!

If you have not seen it then it MUST be new? Otherwise you are not taking your own advice!

You are not a tease, YOU ARE A BIG TEASE! Go on, give us all a clue? Is it something embarrassing? Like a FIAT? Italian - yes Italian! It MUST be!

Is it from the Lexus stable?

What will you offer me not to tell the wife? A ride in your Tesla?

Really? Rayaan is getting a Tesla? Which model are you getting?

Yes - same engine just a bit bigger 4.3 litre - though othgers might correct me!

Put your reg number in here and see if they do one yet? https://www.witter-towbars.co.uk/

Had the same problem with my Grandis - have ditched all the locking wheel nuts - they are a PITA.

Others will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you can't get a tow bar for a MkIV LS400. The MkIII and MkII cars are very good, but good ones will not come up that often. You might want to consider the LS 430. They have some well known issues but there will be a greater choice and price range - just a thought.

Tease!

That brings back memories! Love the brown interior! Thanks for sharing. What mileage does it have on?

Have you looked at your manual?

The other ideal would be car 1: Lexus Car 2: Lexus Car 3: Banger - you would then really appreciate cars 1 and 2!

But he will have lost very little in depreciation! And there are other cARS OUT THERE!

When you look at the hard figures here, it does make me wince a little. AND you don't even own the car! It is down to personal choice .... but that is nearly £500 each month ......... is it really worth it? I am like Malc, a bit too long in the tooth for these figures. But the point about age is valid ........ I asked a pension adviser what was the best thing to do with my pension pot? He asked me when I was going to die! Then he could give me the BEST advice! You can't live just for today but also you can't wait indefinitely for tomorrow! Life is a balance ......... it is just hard working out what should be in each pan on the scales.

Sorry I missed that. One advantage of so few cars is that their history is more likely to be known. Well worth another mention by you.

A bit harsh Gang! I would love to watch paint dry in your wife's Lexus!
