Not sure if I'm on the right topic here, but I've got a Rattle & Hum coming from the boot of my 350H.....

Yes.

To be honest, when negotiations started at the end of January, an F Sport was never ever on my rader, way out of my price range. All the discussions were around a Premium Pack with Lexus Link Pro. The Dealer said that there were no discounts at all due to it being a brand new model. I said that the extra VED over 40k was a red line for me, and after a little discussion we came to a 'Gentlemans Agreement' over that issue. The trade-in for my 68plate NX was a very, very pleasant surprise. We came to an agreed monthly cost and that was that. I went away and thought about it over the weekend but decided that the long wait until November for the new model was not for me and decided to keep my car for the forseeable future. Like I said in my previous post, the dealership then came back to me with the offer of the F Sport......but at the terms we had agreed for the Premium Pack! As the Dealer said, It was a No-Brainer. And that's probably the first time I've ever agreed with a car salesman! I can only think that they were very keen to meet their monthly targets. You can probably do the maths as to what discount that gave me on the F Sport. So it does show you that discounts can be had if things fall into place. I do feel that I am a very, very lucky chap.

Cancelled order probably, like mine was. Bolton Lexus had called me in to update my 68 plate NX at the end of January, but I walked away saying I wasn't prepared to wait until November, even though they would guarantee the monthly payments and trade-in until then. I just wasn't prepared to wrap the car in cotton wool until then. Anyway, lo and behold two days later they came up with 2 F Sport order cancellations, a Blue and a Sonic Tit (as the man described it!). Went for the Sonic Tit and have been driving it around now for two weeks. Sorry to all you people that have been waiting for months, I don't know how Bolton Lexus did it, maybe I was just dead lucky that they came up with a colour and model I was happy with, but just try pushing your dealers to do the same. Hello everybody. This is my first ever post. After almost 7 years of Lexus ownership, I've summoned up the courage to post! My history: 65plate CT, 68plate NX Luxury, 22plate F Sport. All in Sonic Tit....
