The Buyer said that he drove home after purchase. For that to have been legal, the car must have been Mot`d, Taxed and Insured (unless we have not been given all of the facts) The Buyer presumably arranged for the vehicle to be Taxed and Insured and the Seller presumably arranged for the Certificate of Road Worthiness (M..O.T.) A Court will compare the two documents (M.O.T. AND Sold as spares etc) and reach the view that one must prevail over the other. No prizes awarded for guessing which one prevails and which one falls by the wayside.

In the context of the multiple bad reviews , I find it hard to believe that the good reviews are anything but false. In a lottery, one has a chance of winning Pete, but with Cheshire Car Sales, I would not even think about buying a ticket ! The OP must pursue his complaint with the utmost vigour. He has received some sound advice and the game is his to lose.

Well said young man. It might be advisable for on older person ( parent or friend) to offer some advice based upon their experience ? Presumably because again based upon accident and statistical probability. I believe that one of the main reasons my insurance is low on my GS450h is because of its relatively scarcity amongst UK vehicles.

If the mother and/or/ the father is added as a named driver it might well reduce the annual premium appreciably. I think that discrimination still takes place on the basis of age, s*x and gender, but under the umbrella statement of accident statistics !

The Purchaser was clearly mislead into thinking that he would lose his Warranty if he paid a reduced price. The paperwork re Spares and Trailing is wholly irrelevant as the Trader was Statutorily bound to be responsible for dealing with problems which arose within 6 months of sale. It is not possible to escape one`s Statutory responsibilities unless one is released from them by Parliament. There is sufficient evidence on this alone to pursue matters satisfactorily, but when one takes into account other factors such as fraudulent issue of Mot Certificate and fraudulent production of point of sale documentation, it is game, set and match to the Purchaser ! The purchaser is strongly advised to contact a Solicitor immediately for advice on best route to take. His Solicitors and any Court costs plus Damages can be recovered through the Courts.

And the moral of the rant has to be either; (a) do not trust a Lexus employees unless he has put in in writing, or better still (b) do not let your warranty run out !

Many thanks Andrew, I enjoyed reading that summary. It is as you say, an outstanding motor car, with features not appreciated by everybody although it lacks features required by younger and more enthusiastic drivers. I would be disappointed with only 18,000 miles from Michelins, but then I am no longer a young and enthusiastic driver. I regularly obtain more than 450 miles from a tank of fuel. I look forward to your next report in twelve months time. Regards John

I guess that the car was on a private plate which has now returned to its original plate prior to sale?

I reduced my Insurance Premium this year by using freemotorlegal.co.uk Have look at it and see if it saves you money too.

"I couldn't work out why it had two reservoirs for screen wash though?" One for screen wash and one for Headlamp wash Phil ?

Are there ANY reports of an e-cvt box ever requiring significant maintenance/repair/rebuild?

Congratulations Jonathan.A stunning machine.32 mpg from a leviathan!

All entirely relevant, but I still prefer leather myself Stuart. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder as Mr Keats famously said.

Is there any way that you can contact the previous owner to seek clarification as to what he/others may have done ?

Very futuristic. Was the previous owner a Mr Dan Dare ?

Thanks Den. As I said, we must agree to disagree.

I have no wish to argue with you Den. You are picking and choosing parts of my response and as a result dealing with them out of context. We must agree to disagree.

The Warranty is irrelevant Den. A Judge will not rule on what`s written, he will rule on the facts of the case. A new system costing a significant sum of money should provide for a significant period of time. What would the man on the Clapham Omnibus think?

Might be of some use on the bridge of the Starship USS Enterprise, but of questionable need in a current motor car.

Thinking it is a Premium car and realising that it isn`t, will be an earth shattering moment. Shared engines and bodyshells coupled with unreliable elctronics, unwelcome road noise and inconsiderate Dealers,soon shatter the illusion.

I`m sure it was a grip used in Wrestling on a Saturday afternoon !

Congratulations Jonathan, welcome back.

not surprising to you and me Ben, but most people do not know that I agree.

Daihatsu are remarkably reliable, but they are not imported any more.

£3750 for a Mint, members would be foolish not to PM you Phil. If I was single and still had my current 3 cars, I`d bite your arm off.Good luck.
