As I infer....time will tell.

Lots of valid points,but the proof of the pudding.........................

One of our members from Cheshire gave his ID3 back to VW as it was so unreliable and had been issued with Software that had not been tested properly.

I think that Servicing costs will be around 80% or more of current ICE costs Winston.😢

So sorry to read that Jacob. Thanks for being so up front about the failings of Lexus Wolverhampton,I for one will avoid them. Steven Eagell Group Senior Management will need to review the performance of its Wolverhampton employees as such reported conduct falls far short of the expectations of Lexus owners. Jacob,Please keep us all posted about future developments and the outcomes from TOYOTA SHREWSBURY.

The key factors are cost and perceived value for money. The "man on the Clapham Omnibus" is the one that knows all. He will recognise that he doesn`t have and won`t have for the forseeable future, funds to buy any new car costing £30k or more, or move house, or have family holidays or enjoy the pleasure that increases in net disposible income brings. Times for him and his family are hard and getting much harder. If he has a car,he will want to try to keep it and minimise expenditure on it. This will lead to the recognition that some cars cost a lot to keep and maintain whilst others principally from Japan and South Korea, cost far less. If you are a passenger on the Bus then retain or seek such a car.

lack of oxygen didn`t stop the Titanic from rusting eh Malc ?

I do not agree with the others and would seek the views of a specialist Detailer.

Back to the Dealer if the car is under any kind of warranty ?

I did say "generally" John.

16 inch will generally give better fuel economy than 17 inch Nick. 17 will give better than 18 or 19.

So that`s giving 47mpg John. Seems acceptable to me given the nature of your terrain. Thanks.

Thank you so much Baz. Another read which I enjoyed. You have had some quality cars, all of which I can identify with. In my VW days (1200 Beetle, 2 Type3 Fastback 1600E) in the late 60`s and early 70`s, I toyed with the idea of buying a VW inspired Porsche. It was a 914, which morphed into the 924 and latterly the 944, the love of your life. In the early 90`s I had my first Mercedes-a W202 Diesel and its colour was Bornite, not unlike what seems to be the colour of your Saab Convertible. Bornite remains my favourite colour notwithstanding that it is no longer available. My last Mercedes-an E Class Estate (W210/211) provided if I`m not very much mistaken the Engine, Gearbox and transmission of the Chrysler 300c- the second car in your pictures. I bought my first and only Lexus-a GS- in 2013,following a serious illness .I was enthralled by what I was reading about the marque and set out my stall to have one. It is without doubt the most complete and certainly the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It does not shout at one like other cars do. It is a reticent character which says, "I am here,tell me where we are going and I will take you there-and bring you home." Many years ago I remember the original Honest John (Peter Lorimer) writing of the Lexus IS 6 cylinder car (yours, I think) "this is the most reliable car on the Planet !" You have chosen wisely and I`m certain that you will enjoy each other`s company for many years. Baz, I look forward to reading your future Postings.Thank you for joining our LOC.

correct.

Andrew, the mileage limit on the Hybrid Battery is 10,000 miles per year for each of the 15 years, I understand.

Mr Swindley

Don`t expect to achieve claimed mpg figs. If you get 75% overall you are doing well Nick. See https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/lexus/ct200h-2011

Could you not have acted in that manner 21 Posts ago John ?🤣

Welcome Baz. I found your Post to be a short, but a joyous read.She looks to be a beauty and took my thoughts back to Ursula Andress in Dr No.👍👍👍 Tell us about your motoring history, why Lexus and why now ? Do contribute as much as you can, when you can, going forward.

Fat lot of use that advert is. Not a genuine seller ?

Me too. It`s not Rocket Science,but some Members seem to make it unnecessarily difficult for themselves.
