None of the other brands offer an extended warranty until 10 years old or 140,000 miles covered !!

If the faults arose within 6 months of purchase,then the gesture of goodwill and any paperwork they produce are both irrelevant. The faults should be addressed at the cost to the Dealer.

I think it is 3 ,but could be wrong. Yes Michelin Cross Climates are superb I believe. I have Kumho All Season on my GS but not encountered any severe conditions yet.

The text I highlighted refers to the vehicle being as a new vehicle warranty and new cars should all have the same tyres. Not a mix of either manufacturers or season. Good luck and do keep us informed please..

I`d take it straight back to the Lexus Dealer which sold you the vehicle and tell him that the tyres fitted do not comply with the detail contained within this text. One does not obtain a pre-owned vehicle with such a mix of tyres. The Lexus Warranty is designed to give the reassurance that you would expect when buying an Approved Pre-Owned Lexus. All Approved Pre-Owned Lexus vehicles are supplied complete with one year's manufacturer's equivalent warranty with unlimited mileage cover. All vehicles with less than a full year of manufacturer's warranty remaining will require a Mandatory Warranty to be applied for. Vehicles under 60,000 miles and with a full year of manufacturer's warranty remaining do not require a Mandatory Warranty to be applied. Your local Lexus Centre will arrange all this for you. Any Lexus vehicles regardless of age or mileage qualify. All Approved Pre-Owned Lexus Car Warranties have the same level of cover as the Lexus new vehicle warranty, with the exception of batteries, interior trim and corroded exhausts. The exact level of cover is detailed on the reverse of the warranty application form and also within your handover pack you receive when purchasing your vehicle. All Approved Pre-Owned Lexus Car warranties include wear and tear cover for batteries, exhausts and wiper blades for three months or 3,000 miles.

A used Lexus needs to be bought with care and due diligence. Merely buying it because it is a Lexus is somewhat short sighted in my view. If buying from a Trader then, as with all cars checking that a full (preferably Lexus) service history and all/any recalls have been carried out are both essential. The Trader is then required by Statute to remedy any significant faults occurring within 6 months of purchase. If buying privately, then check the service history and condition . If all services have been demonstrated and the condition is acceptable, then enter into a contract with the seller, so that in the event of clear misrepresentation the buyer can seek redress via the courts. If an acceptable service history is not demonstrated or the condition causes concern , then unless you are knowlegeable and competent re cars and their requirements, walk away. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that because it is a Lexus you will not have any problems.

Hi Geoff and welcome. Did you buy privately or from a Dealer ?

Many thanks Robert for that background perspective. Someone told me a very long time ago that life does not come with a return ticket. I did not understand all those years ago, but as my journey has unfolded I see its significance. Tell your pal of the outcome of your researches and why you feel it appropriate to offer him say, £12,000.You are not asking him to provide a warranty and you are taking whatever risks are associated with the car. He will either accept your offer or he won`t. If he does then use a short period of time wisely and come to a decision re the LS or the RX. If he does not accept, then you will not feel disgruntled as you still have the RX and a good friend. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Many thanks Stu. The MOT history is very good and his Trader Status means a Statutory Warranty covers significant problems within 6 months of purchase, but I still think that the asking price is way too high. No doubt he will advertise it repeatedly until someone comes along wishing to bag what appears to them to be a bargain.

Nine thousand without any warranty requires a huge leap of faith. The MOT record cannot be seen as the plate shown is not recognised by the GOV system. It is arguable as to whether the seller is a Trader as one look at his selling record on ebay tells you that he is active in the motoring market. Much information is not being presented by the seller in my view. Caveat Emptor!

I seem to feel that it has been advertised previously and perhaps did not sell ?

One does not look a gift horse in the mouth. Buy it, drive it,then sell it if you do not like it. And explain that to your friend upfront.

Great shots Brian. Did Stephen not turn up then ?

Sounds like mine has done for the past 5 years and 37,000 miles !!

Take look at this Mark https://www.motor1.com/news/17663/lexus-gs-450h-gets-a-mild-facelift-for-2010my/ Mine has returned 34.9mpg over 54,000 miles (on board computer figure)

Why consider wear and tear? You have not had the car for 6 months yet, so the STATUTORY Warranty still applies Shahpor. Regards John

ASK them again and TELL them to redact any information relating to previous owners` Personal Information. You require factual information relating to an inanimate object (the car) which cannot be subject to the current PERSONAL DATA REGULATIONS. If they refuse then write to the Dealer Principal and copy the correspondence to Lexus GB.

Sadly, this is largely true. Check out ...https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla and you might be able to piece something together. Good luck.

As I do amigo. We might have been milk monitors in the same class in primary school !!

I`ll wager that you read the RC manual Pete, before you pushed any buttons you were not sure about! :):):)

Nico, you have a wonderful car, but do try to find time to read your Handbook. It is ESSENTIAL reading for new owners. Regards

You should have guessed by now Hercule. I do not have one. My Gen3 GS450h was obviously designed by a left handed designer for left handed drivers. Happy New Year John.

Shahpor, "See if you can hear it":.......you mean listen if you can hear it !

I am left handed John. I use the mouse in my right hand and use two hands on the keyboard. I operate the car systems with my left hand as is required. I eat right handed, wear my watch on my left wrist and play golf left handed. I played cricket left handed with a right handed bat. I wrote badly at school left handed because they gave me a right handed nib in the pen. I played tennis,table tennis and squash left handed. I cannot use right handed scissors, but can use a right handed potato peeler. Your question has opened a bag of worms my friend!

Which Lexus Dealership is this? It appears not to know much about its Statutory Responsibilities or the operation of the vehicle.
