Congrats! You didn't happen to get a look at the 11 plate car did you? I'm I retested in it but can't get down for a look for a week or two.. wondering if it's a good un?

Sounds like it could be one to give a miss tbh. I'd rather have an older car that's spot on history wise etc. sounds like it'll be a £25k spend by the time it's spic and span and still will never have service history...

Looking like a trip to Bristol this weekend tbh!! the in laws are down there anyhow. Wonder what I could get off / thrown in with the 2011 silver car there.. If no joy could always head down to Exeter lol!

Dear all, some you may remember me from the start of the year, I was due to pick up the low mileage 09 grey car from Woodford in February when a couple of days pre collection we were broken into and burgled to include our S3 and many personal possessions. At the time I couldn't think about cars and decided to pull out of the purchase (Alex Kennedy at Woodford Lexus was fantastic) although we have spent some money on beefing up security and got back to normal now and I would still very much like an ISF! Budget wise, max looking to spend would be 23/24 k. Although happy to just find a nice car so if there's a nice example for 19/20 I'd consider it, although may prefer to fry to get a later model.. Any views on the below? Particularly interested to see if 1- anyone has been near to doing a deal and wouldn't mind saying what sort of discount was available 2- has anyone seen the cars in person and could vouch for condition etc. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201604213182062?onesearchad=new%2Cnearlynew%2Cused&radius=1500&postcode=wa143bq&sort=pricedesc&searchcontext=default&page=1&search-target=usedcars&make=lexus&model=is_f&logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201605103787150?onesearchad=new%2Cnearlynew%2Cused&radius=1500&postcode=wa143bq&sort=pricedesc&searchcontext=default&page=1&search-target=usedcars&make=lexus&model=is_f&logcode=p http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201602201209124?sort=pricedesc&page=1&onesearchad=new%2Cnearlynew%2Cused&postcode=wa143bq&radius=1500&search-target=usedcars&make=lexus&model=is_f&logcode=p As as an aside there was a white 58 plate in Lymm services this evening, anyone on here? cheers rich

Gents, I have had one heck of a morning. came to the stairs and we have been burgled and the Mrs S3 is gone. I **** you not. Crime scheme investigation been in and got some footprints etc. Not sure how wise it would be to say much more on a public forum at this stage. smashed the back door in nicked both sets of keys wallets purses laptop etc and fooked off. Have explained to Woodford Based on this I can't proceed right now. They were very good about it to be fair. Need Wait and see if the Audi is recovered before reconsidering things and whether we now need 2 new cars or not. Right now glad we are both safe and slept through the whole thing #desperate times...

Just picked up my train ticket down to London 06:20 Saturday morning. Starting to get excited!!

They have replaced the front tyres, obvs went back on wrong..

Ah excellent spot tbh I can't tell the difference having not examined in the flesh will have a rant that this is sorted, not confidence inspiring really. hope the rear ok??

Can anybody please advise what torque wrench bit I need for the wheel nuts? First plans are to get the car up on axle stand, wheels off and sealed properly and same for the arches and calipers! Cheers

Pm'd Alan

All being well, by this time next week my new steed will be on the drive (or in the garage to be precise!) i have been scouring the ISF section of the forum and trying to think of everything I want to know / have sorted before pickup, hope people can help with the below: Do these cars typically use much oil? I'd like to buy some for top up purposes, what should I be getting? (A web link would be great as I'm not too good on these things!) when buying a discounted service pack I presume that is just relevant to that specific dealer and not the whole network? when buying the extended warranty and spreading payment, does this have to just be over 12 months or can it be 24? Do all cars come with a space saver as standard? Is it possible to get a more up to date sat nav disc? And how much would the cost be? i would like to buy some paint chip fill in paint, can the dealer sort this and once again what's the price? does the dealer sell rubber mats? Cost is so? how much do replacement carpet mats cost? is it possible to buy replacement rear 'Lexus' and 'ISF' badges as fancy some gloss black ones? Same question on the front grill? apologies for so many questions and thanks in advance rich

Where do people tend to fit the unit and is this a job best undertaken by a professional? as you say you have to plug the device in, does this mean you just run the cable form the IVIC through to say the dash/centre console?

I'm a bit of a dinosaur so sorry if this is stupid question, but if I want to plug my iPhone into an 2009 car to play deezer / Spotify how does it work and what will I need to buy? what is this IVIC and does it provide any further benefits over wireless music? thanks in advance

Thanks David all being well meet up for a brew in the next few weeks?

Have put a deposit on the Woodford car, didn't want to miss out for the sake of a few quid. Have done so on a refundable basis and on the condition that in my eyes, it's mint. Fingers crossed it as should b / I hope it will be as I won't be stumping up if it isn't! away this weekend so will have to go down next - could be a long 10 days!
