    So what have you got against Edinburgh? 🤣

    Just confirms as per Kevin Hunter be flexible about travelling - Kent to Derby, I went Derby to Newcastle on Tyne

    Great! Definitely Kevin Hunter stuff 😁

    So it's not solely cost? You wish to optimise cost versus risk. On the basis you have to make some sort of a decision then the balance must be in favour of the dealership. The calculation therefore is - how much is the add-on value worth to you? 5% 10% 15 %? Then compare that to your target price. The difference then becomes your target price.

    What exactly are you trying to achieve Sy? The lowest initial buy cost, the lowest over time cost, I am, of course assuming when you use the term negotiating, you are referring solely to money? In which case it may well be lexus franchises will not be your ideal choice of partner

    Very true Peter but I also think Kevin Hunter on YouTube has some great ideas and insights on negotiating with car dealers

    Money laundering laws make some transactions a little fraught these days🤔

    Crikey Adam if looks were the critical criterion however did Cyrano de Bergerac ever make out 🤣

    Damn! I thought it said "the movie was carp" , hence the reference to mouth breathers 🤣

    That's some courgette bake 😎

    You back to Range Rovers again? 😎
  13. Phil xxkr
    Because cars generally are made of metal and plastic 😁

    Somewhat harsh comment my friend. I agree that the brand does, from time to time, exhibit non documented features that result in a less than optimal driving experience. But coincidentally, Jaguars have a word association best summed up by the Japanese, Umami, an indescribable deliciousness. So no matter if your favoured brand (at the moment) is, more reliable, cheaper, faster, more fuel efficient, has more toys etc etc. It will never have the same Umami no matter how hard you try. And heritage plays such a crucial role in this belief, bit like comparing the Square Mile to Canary wharf 😎

    An EV6 in the flesh! David I worry about you, have you consulted a psychiatrist specialising in fever dreams.? 😱
  16. Phil xxkr
    And without it squirting out all over your hands and clothes leaving that sticky residue 😁

    Jolly good Glenn but I fear your message, after travelling such a long distance, ended abruptly? Over here your last words read "engine oil...." were you victim to a Californian earthquake before completion

    Looks interesting Mike but how do you change the battery?
  19. Phil xxkr
    Just be aware I bought a battery with 5 year warranty which went wonky. This was a top-end one for my Jaguar. When I contacted Tayna their response is send it back to us to investigate at your cost! If its proven to be duff they will replace it but in the meantime you have no car unless, their suggestion was buy a new one until they complete investigation! My recommendation is always buy local, garage /mechanics/Halfords etc. Yes it's £20 quid more but worth the grief.

    This is a common problem with jaguar XK 100's, common fix is to put one of those little silica gel bags in the light, not sure if this is at all practical with lexus models.

    Good point Barry, and this vent clock has luminous hands, maybe? And to address an earlier point weighs about the same as six Walkers crisps, that's crisps not packets 🤣 the more details the more I think this has echoes of Gerald Ratners prawn sandwich. 😱
  22. Phil xxkr
    Well Herbs if you think 43mm/1.6 inches is a big dangly thing then I would like to know more about your success rate with the girls in your day. 😘 But you miss the point entirely, it was just frivolity if you can also remember that? It cost the same as a pint and may not last as long but it bought me a smile and some entertaining dialogue from you and Steve. Who knows I just may move it from the vent and stick it onto a pair of furry dice - now there's a thought 🤔🤔🤔🤣
  23. Phil xxkr
    Exactly my thoughts Steve, the car read out is from the 70's but updated in the 80's from red to white 🤣
  24. Phil xxkr
    I see you mentioned oscillating earlier doesn't that mean can't make your mind? Oh no, that's vacillating which I can see here 😊 so which do you prefer a pothole or a speed hump? Do tell

    Astonishing that with a valuation of 4500 it is still offered as repairable 😱😱😱
