£48k or less is brand new GS450h F-Sport territory......... Huge discounts on the GS450h at the moment! Practically like £7k off lol

Nice! Pics are mandatory of course! Im surprised the dealers taking a week! My handover was done 1 day after it arrived :)

Ill probably get 2. One from Bradford and one from Stockport seen as though I bought one RX from each of them! If they've been funny on the spec as they have with the NX, I think ill be getting a Volvo XC90 (never thought Id ever buy a Volvo) but we'll have to see!

Im thinking of buying but I have to see the car in person first and check the size out. Apparently its a good 12cm bigger than the current RX so about GS length. And the options list + colours etc

Itll be for an option we dont get in the UK. Probably some sort of American only option

Nice! HUD surely has to be on the F-Sport, it'd be silly to remove something already on the F-Sport

Toyota Auris Hybrid Pretty much the same car - the badge. The Auris is actually 90% CT for <90% cost. It pretty much drives like it and has a decent interior to match. Not too good looking on the outside in my opinion but its still a good car.

Well I guess it was worth the wait then!

Its not possible from the DVLA website, otherwise anybody could track you down if they wanted to steel your car I think you have to form the DVLA with a good reason and pay them £2.50 or something and theyll release the name and address.

Wow looks like they dropped a bollock lol. Out of interest what's the difference between a 2015 screen and a 2014 screen?

Glad to hear it's sorted now. Any noticeable change in colour in repaired parts? I would have thought Sonic T is quite difficult to get right

I had multiple issues with the sunroof. It did what you described but also wouldn't open one touch and wouldn't close one touch either. It had a mind of its own. Never leaked though

There should be an accessory brochure with any extras inside. May be worth asking the dealer for one

I prefer Citalopram ??. Won't last as long in the system due to short half life. 36 hours only in citalopram, fluoxetine is 4-5 days. Citalopram has faster onset though

But others may argue that consistently trying to park parallel to the lines is OCD for which the first line of treatment should be antidepressants such as Prozac (fluoxetine)

In this time of declining standards, the wish to park "properly" is a good thing and a matter of pride. The problem is whether it is possible to reconcile this attitude with the need to protect yourself from the increasing number of fellow drivers who do not share it. Certainly, parking at an angle is a viable protective stratagem when spaces are unmarked since any new neighbour will almost certainly duplicate your angle and keep an acceptable distance. To hog more room than you are entitled to when parking in marked spaces, perhaps straddling two of them, might, apart from other considerations, not discourage prospectively unwelcome neighbours but have the effect of inviting them to teach you a lesson by getting stupidly close to your outer extremities thus forcing you to wriggle around when you come to drive off. Or such has been my own experience on some of the few occasions when I have been tempted to occupy more space than I should. All in all, I believe vertical parking to be generally a bit safer than parking parallel to the kerb. In this latter case, apart from needing to watch out for the kerb itself, you have no control whatsoever over who or what you may find behind and/or in front of you or how close they were to your gleaming paintwork when they arrived. Nobody said anything about straddling lines? I did, having noticed that a lot of people do, and, to my shame, have occasionally done myself. Im just saying - what is the need for parking perfectly straight in a parking space? The main point about parking straight is that it reflects a desire for tidiness and orderliness that I personally consider praiseworthy, not least because fewer and fewer people appear to share it. Also, car-parks and parking areas have parallel lines painted on the ground not only so that you should stay within them but also so they can help you to position the car straight. But does it really matter if you park straight or not as long as you're in the lines?

£367 is steep. I paid £999 for my RX with loads of goodies included for 3 years. Without all the goodies, quoted price was £750. I actually use the goodies, so it works out cheaper for me over the 3 year period. Also quoted less than £800 for 3 years servicing on an IS300h at Lexus Leeds and Bradford. Are you haggling guys? They gave me £900 at first

Front tyres being different is a complete no-no! Now its not against the MOT or anything but it does give rise to problems. It could be due to the difference in drag between the tyres. Itll pull right if the drag on the right tyre is greater. Could also be tyre pressure but unlikely. Worst case scenario is play in the steering rack but I doubt it. Just replace the tyres, itll go away

Good thing is, parts should be in stock or very quick for the IS250. Insurance companies are never fond of anyone other than their "approved" repairers doing the work because they lose more money lol

Is that on the RX or the GS? RX uses a different engine...... The timing chain needs less long term maintenance than a belt - shouldnt ever need replacing

Im by no means diminishing the issues you guys have had but isn't it, dare I say it, stupid to put your "crap customer service" blanket on all the Lexus dealers? From what I have read it appears Carlisle and Exeter are the bad ones and I realise you were quoted prices for things that didnt need doing but its equally likely that 100 people are happy with the service and 2 aren't. I for one have had no problems with the dealers I have been to including all of the RRG group (Stockport, Bradford, Manchester and Bolton) and the Jardine Leeds group. All the prices for me have been great and I suspect its the relationship you have with the dealers in the first place. There needs to be a certain rapport with your sales/service guy to get the best service. I paid Lexus £50 for 4 tyres fitting including balancing, I also got a free MOT with them after my service. No doubt if the wipers need replacing, which I think they do, Ill get them to put them on for free too. The problem is too many people come on forums to complain (in your case, rightly so) but not enough come to praise so its always skewed

Well it depends how much of a perfectionist you are at parking. I tend to just go in and thats it, with minor adjustments. Dont really care if its sticking out slightly or wonky lol. Helps to put other drivers off from parking next to you too

Mileage doesnt really mean anything on these. Theyll go 200k with minor problems.

True, probably worth seeing to find out. Im liking the sunroof on the NX, it comes out instead of sliding into the headliner, more headspace!
