Budget now increased to £21k, Arnold Clark have a couple of F Sports, black with 80,000 miles at £19,500 and white with 69,000 miles at £21,000. Anyone had any experience buying through them?
Yes very odd, there are aftermarket systems available but not as tidy as if they were oem.... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07CXHR26Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_M01UBbPS8ZJNT
Sound like good sales at the time to offer you a different model but it's reactive. I think you're right that Lexus take a very relaxed attitude towards sales and the right person will pay the right money over time.
From my experience I've found dealers to be purely reactive in their approach to sales. I've only had one call back (out of about 10 Lexus dealerships) to ask.... are you still looking or I've got another car you might be interested in etc. In addition, I've offered on cars, it's not been accepted, then the price drops very close to my offer but never received a call. Most seem happy to wait and rely purely on incoming enquires....
I posted on here at the beginning on the year looking for an NX. Sadly didn't happen as the Mrs followed her heart and opted for an Evoke. Today we waved goodbye to the Evoke so funds are available for the NX and the Mrs is fully on board. The budget aint great, upto £20k but you never know.
Play the game Paul 😁..... Do I need to edit the question. "you have to choose your favourite wheel... or volunteer your genitals for medical research".....
Lack of marketing/image. Youngsters into cars or learning to drive will know nothing about Lexus/F cars to inspire them to want to own one in the future. Personally I hope it stays this way as a big appeal was the rarity of F cars. I blame Doc Martin for the image btw....
The ISF is a much safer car for carrying taxi customers compared to the RCF .. Here's me on the way to the 24hr McDonalds in Slough, caught out by a tight corner.. ....
