  1. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to stop them trying to steel it and causing damage to your car, the only thing you can do is make it less of a attraction, but the problem is there are not like the thieves of years back were all they wanted was a joy ride, its a business now and until something is done to make the business unattractive this will not stop.
  2. I had mine fitted last month, it’s all working fine, but I agree they are a waste of time, but it was free. I am not sure you can do anything to stop the attempted theft of any car, so damage will always be done
  3. I have had a Ghost fitted for the past 7 years, My Lexus dealership are aware of this and have never told me that it would be a issue with any warranty claim, the Tracker is fitted by Lexus themselves so they then can't refuse any warranty claim you may have because of what they have fitted.
  4. ou should have got this via email which gives you the token number,
  5. I rang the tracker company and they sent me a email while I was on the phone which gave me the registration number, I think the token number was a bar code which was on the information that the dealership gave me
  6. I have just had a Tracker fitted to my car by Lexus, I dont know which one it is but i can use the app to find my car, it brings the location up on Google maps. i can also look at previous trips the car has made
  7. I had mine fitted a few days ago, only because it was free, i personal don't se the point of them, when there are products out there which will stop 95% of thieves stealing the car in the first place, my Ghost stoped them taking mine, ok if and when they can bypass the Ghost then a tracker my then be worth it, until of course they can also bypass the tracker.
  8. I have had a ghost fitted on my car for 7 years and Lexus have never mentioned that it would invalidate the warranty
  9. Put the ghost into transport mode which disables the ghost completely, then see what happens
  10. What ever you put on the car your going tom have to take off and this would concern me a little, its not there now but i used to go to Ultimate Finish at brans hatch, they had some classic cars under covers, they were made of silk.
  11. Agree with above, curbing wheels is a worry, local smart repair is possible but not 100% perfect, a full proper repair is expencive and takes around 5 days. Parking is the main issue with the big wide doors, try to pick a space were you can easily open the door. I have had mine coming up to 7 years now, admittedly with low use, millage, but no real problems other than the re calls, fuel pump, fuel flap. great car and it will be a sad day when i have to let it go. ( the car not being practicable for my retirement use )
  12. Total agree, the bottom line is that if they attempt to steel your car you will still have the damage and repair cost, it doest matter what type of security you have, you could remove the engine, unless the thieves know they can't steel your car they are going to attempt to, and at the moment most Lexus models can be stolen and the thieves know this, yes a ghost will stop them from driving it away, yes a tracker means you can find your car once it has been stolen, but as i said the damage and cost to the owner is the same, and in fact is you have a tracker and they do take your car the possibility of more damage being done to you car is much higher. i have a ghost fitted on mine which stoped them from taking the car, it would be better for me to leave the keys on a hook out side my house with a note saying " please use the keys provided to attempt to steel this car, when you have finished please replace the keys on the hook, thank you", this may seem a ridicules thing to do , but they won't get the car due to the Ghost and no damage will be done, that will save me £4000 damage and in my case £1200 excess on my insurance.
  13. Remember most Lexus dealerships will give a 10% / 15% discount on servicing if your a Lexus owners club member. MOT, £25 at ATS with Groupon plus £2 of if you use a cash back site ( £23 ), I have taken both my cars there for the past 4 years, very honest MOT, even my 19 year old Nissan has passed every year.
  14. £890 last year with £1200 excess, same company wanted £1550 this year comparison site got this year £666 with £600 excess ( Admiral )
  15. LC's are no longer available to buy new in the UK, so this may be why 2024 is higher, last chance to buy one
