Thats a tad nice. I plan on doing my CBT & Direct access next year, want a vulcan s for my first bike while i get used to it then probably gonna get myself a Rocket 3. As the rocket is the reason I want to even my license haha

Possibly your mistake and also the dealers for not clarifying what F-Sports are properly. F-Sport is a trim version, same engine. Not really sporty. The Lexus "RS" or "M" Equivalent are merely the letter "F". And the only one fully available is the RC-F (Not to be confused with the Lexus RC F-Sport) The F cars are the high performance monsters. The F-Sport have (in my opinion) Nicer grilles better colours more toys and more aggressive styling . -Comparison below :

What car was it that you had prior to the ES that was bombarded with offers? Lexus are surprisingly inclusive with what you get in each tier of the car tbh, its one thing that Ive always admired and also hated. It means going for any other brand makes me grit my teeth a tad Was you not offered the F-Sport ? It sits between Premium and Takumi and has all the Takumi addons usually available to it. As it has a more aggressive styling.

Well that does sound rather fit. -
Help me with Security System
Arnett replied to RajWJFWJK's topic in Lexus Audio/Video/Electronics/Security
The upside is that the NX is not a highly stolen car, but I would recommend a Ghost system for security. The downside however is as people have said, this wont stop them trying to break in. Be that as it may they use the same technology to break in as they do to steal and this is cloning your key signal, so at worst they make break something once inside. -

May be worth having a look at the new forum thread, if your a cash buyer it's a stunning car for a good price -
Hi Katherine and welcome to the forums. Feel free to drop some photos of your new ride. Herbie has already suggested a quality answer to your question 🙂

I have a TV (A Sony XR65A9 OlED to be exact), its just only used for Playstation, Netflix, Disney & Amazon. Its not tuned nor is the BBCi player app downloaded onto it. A Tv licence is only required to watch or record either Live TV (Including ITV Sky channels and bbc) or to watch BBCi player which iplayer also informs you of this when you sign into it. Its been declared to tv licencing authorities as to how its also used as by doing this the right way they stop sending letters etc.

The GR Yaris leaves a lot of hope for the future tbh, its a stunning go-kart. That ol RR racing kit.. Yeah that was on my list of to dos. Tad further afield Im afraid, Colchester.

If you didnt live so far away id bring you some bubbles just so I can come and see it haha.

Appreciate that A.J, Ill drop my local lexus an email and see if I can arrange a weekend loaner for a future weekend off hopefully they have a v8 available. Ive only heard the LC in videos and it reminds me of the GSF stock note, a stunning sound but unfortunately I lack the refinement and am rather fond of valve systems to give me variable notes depending on my audience. But the more I see of this car the more temptation grips me.... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202106214052014?radius=1501&postcode=co39bg&model=LC 500&advertising-location=at_cars&make=LEXUS&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&sort=relevance&include-delivery-option=on&price-to=60000&page=1 I mean just look at it....

Yeah the GR Yaris was a stunning "little" car, if a GR Corolla appears I indeed may be tempted by that I forgot about those rumours. Dont dislike the idea of a C8, such an agresive looking car just a shame about quality. On the upside our weathers int he uk are less harsh than alot of those in America Haha, I need to try organise a weekend test drive for one, I love that the engine has been tuned into the cabin like the LFA which really helps bring the V8 out. I would have the modify the exhaust like most Lexus's its just a tad to refined but the angles on this car 💖 I LOVE the QF GTAm its just to expensive for me, I also really would like an R34 BUT I hate dated interiors I would need to have the entire inside rebuilt for my stupid self which just takes away from the car Nothing spectacular, I was a branch manager for a well known UK electrical brand until January of this year. Currently work from home for sub 25k a year with covid related roles & also am an Immunizer. Got a few leads set up to get back into management with Customer service & sales office related roles which will put me back on a proper salary and less hours but I prioritize funds to fuel my passion of cars. No TV License, no Sky Tv, Sim only phone contract, dont smoke, drink less than 10 beers in a 6 month period on average, dont own my house but also rent from council in a lovely retirement area meaning my rent is hugely affordable allowing me to spend the money on the 3 kids or my own passions. Different people prioritize funds differently. Some of these forum members though sell illegal organs on the black market. I mean Hydrogen may hold a better bearing for myself than electric but I personally love the sound of an engine to much.

So, as aware I sold the GSF a couple of months ago for financial reasons of loosing my job in January bootiful covid. I have been working again just on a grim 50% less than what Im used to, however things are starting to look fruitful for the future once more. This then begs the question what motor next...... Im quite tempted by the Solar Flare GSF On AT - But the prices are horrendous as many cars at present. And Ive had one... But the temptation of purchasing another is the whole "future classic" temptation. Also Im rather fond of the LC500 (non hybrid obviously) The pricing of these is my top end but they are quite a sleek stunning motors. And finally the obvious petrol heads temptation.... an R35.... With the lack of future F cars and Lexus Europe/UK obvious focus towards Hybrid, Plug in and Electric It leaves a gas guzzling monkey like me anxious. On top of that, you have speed limiters being fitted to all new cars from 2022. Whats everyone else semi tempted by after the beloved F ?

Its only rubber, the mechanical pieces were kept immaculately, I just liked buying rubbers. Haha -

Pop to a carpark... Shift to Sport S+, Traction off, hold in on the break with your left and floor it gently letting off the brake 😅 I liked to doughnut round the local tesla superchargers. -
That would depend on what fault occurred but batteries are consumables so not really covered by any warranty worth caring about anyway. Warranty covers mechanical parts primarily it would be like saying only Lexus can change your tyres etc. Also you can take your car to an independent garage that also doesn't effect the cars warranty so long as all advice and requires are met. Agree with that entirely

Hate the idea of electric cars anyway. Just another reason to hate them more

I was driving in Colchester on Saturday 11th in the evening and noticed the distinct shape of the LC's light cluster in the evening. I was wondering if the owner was on the forums, would love to have a proper perusal of the beauty, other than a showroom I have not seen one on the road.

Arnett replied to Ceramicolive's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
Firstly allow me to saying congratulations fantastic choice and a stunning colour combo! 1: Yes and no, For the most part yes thats a good price for whats available atm and if you take the pre owned price hikes of present that is still quite a good price. 2: its a sellers market right now with no idea of when it will stabilize, thats probably one of the "fairest" price F cars I have seen in recent months. So I imagine it will not be stood idle long. The RCF's starting going up in price about 2 years ago and haven't really come down since.
