Hello everyone! The time has come to announce that I have successfully purchased LS 600h F Sport in Ultra White!!! It is quite different comapre to RX so we are getting to know each other 😉 Car needs a bit of love and proper clean inside, because dealer used about 50 litres of PLAK (that dashboard "cleaner") inside it...... Now just need to do service - lexuspartsdirect.co.uk do not have service kit to 600h.... any suggestions? I want to do engine oil and filters, maybe spark plugs or will wait with that a bit. Overall I am extremely HAPPY 😄 😄 I want to do quick guide about changing japan language to english. Not everything can be changed but most things you use on normal day can 😉 I will keep you all posted definitely 😉 All the best!

Hello @Doc Brown Thank you very much! This is big step forward for me and thanks to you my dream may come true!!! Once again thank you very much 😉

Hello guys, I found here this topic: I wrote post there asking for more info 😁 Fingers crossed guys!!! There is a light in the tunnel!!! 😁

Hello @Doc Brown I am really interested in those roof bars you mounted on your LS460. I checked innoracks.com website but I couldn't find vehicle finder tool there. Do you remember what model you bought? Or maybe you would like to sell yours😉 Is it possible I could visit you?

I'm still searching some kind of solution for roof bars. If that will be dead end, then I will have to give up on LS........ that is not a car for 5 members family...........

@Yingyz F Sports are available only on face lifted models and I prefer newer interior. To be honest now the biggest problem is luggage capacity and its exactly the same from 2007 to 2016. I did look what is advertised atm on autotrader and there are only few UKs and only one with M&L but it has that panel on armrest which I don't want (kids will play with it definitely!!!) As I said on first post, I have specific requirements.... I would really love to buy that white one if it comes with bigger boot........

@Malc1 Thank you for suggestion, much appreciate it. @scythe I am fully aware of that F Sport was only available on petrol models LS460, that is why import is the only option for me. I don't want Premier trim because I need 3 seats on the back available for my kids so no need for that console on armrest and F Sport looks better for me 😉. One thing I'm not sure is "L" version. Was the hybrid version offered in short wheelbase and long wheelbase? After I found out additional problems with roof racks, everything comes down to boot capacity. From that brochure what @scythe added, you can find 420l but I think it is for LS600hL version (look at the dimensions). When you check LS460, it is 560l. I manage to find brochure from Australia for 2015 models and when you looke there, LS600h F Sport - 5090mm long (like UK LS460) and boot capacity is only 368l.... That might not been enough for my family.... Unless someone have an idea how to extend that in other ways then roof box 😛 Because at the moment I am loosing the fight with my wife about this car 😞 She is concern it's not big enough for a trip to Netherlands for a week.... and she is right.... Is there anyone with LS600h in south west I could visit and check that boot space? I think pre facelifts have same dimensions (please correct me if I'm wrong) Lexus-LS-2015-AU.pdf

Hi everyone. So I did look at this white LS in London yesterday and I have to say it is amazing. Inside needs detaling maybe even respray but it's not a tragedy. The guy is waiting for logbook and plates (4 weeks more or less that's what he said) and he will give me a call when arrive. Middle screen is in japanese but he changed kilometers to miles. It is a problem but digging in the internet and here as well, I found that you can change most of it to english (if you look on the other LS 600h F sport in black on autotrader, its been done there). Satnav won't take any other maps then Japan and thats confirmed. I checked the color code from the sticker and it is 083 which is ultra white. Today I called Lexus in Poland where I found those roof bars to clarify compatibility and Yes they exist, Yes they will fit 2013 short wheelbase F Sport BUT it has to have "special holes" to mount them. They should be visible when you open a doors in the middle of the door width of top part on the car. I didn't know that yesterday so I didn't check that. I might ask for some pictures later. Another problem is that there are non in stock in Poland and they can't even order it...... It is now very very very difficult decision. I'm not sure that car will have enough space in a boot for my familly. Anyway, that car is worth recommending but maybe for a bit less then 20k. Interior needs some work. Thank you all for your help and we'll see what happens 😉

I will be coming back from Germany on Monday to Stansted airport so I think I will look at it. But I have second thoughts now about this specific car. So they change title from F Sport to Premier but on photos you can clearly see it is F Sport, interior looks pretty rough, leather seats are pretty tired even if you compare it to the other one black 64 plate from autotrader and no plates.... I know some dealers do not show them but this doesn't have them at all. The color I'm looking for is not white pearl. It is white nova or ultra white. It was reserved for F sports only and I want to confirm that. I will definitely keep you posted guys how my visit went, probably late Monday.

Thank you very much for all replies. Could you explain this a bit more? Biggish = more or less 😉 ? Preventative maintenance - is there something specific I need to look at apart standards? Wow! I've been watching autotrader for months! This is second F sport but this one has M&L!!! I can't belive it... 😅 Yes they are dedicated roof bars for LS460 which is short wheelbase and I did contact lexusparts direct about it and they confirmed it (but it was looooong time ago) https://dd-tuning.com/lexus-ls460-originalnyij-bagazhnik-pz403-f0611-ga.html Part no. PZ403-F0611-GA. @H3XME It might end up I won't have to import it at all 😛 But I need to sell my RX first.... and I have service booked for 5th of september.....

Hello everyone. I'm new here even though I'm driving my RX 450h for 4 years already and had other very short adventures with lexuses before. I'm looking for answers about LS600h and my friend, who has RC model, advise me to ask here. Let's start from the beginning. I have been thinking about this car (mk4 facelift 2013-2016) for the last two years and because I will be selling my RX in September it is time to really dig into it. I was reading about that model a lot, most of those informations I already confirmed here reading through the various posts but never had a chance to see it on my own eyes or touch it (I’m hoping that someone from here will let me to take a look on his car). I specifically picked F Sport short wheelbase because I want to put roof box on it. As far as I aware, you cannot fit roof bars on long wheelbase models, of course I want hybrid and F Sport trim in my opinion looks better plus it always have 3 seats on the back. There are three other requirements I wish to have: M&L, Ultra-white body paint and ideally 2015-2016 year. Gathering all of that I end up with veeery rare car in UK. According to few brochures I managed to find, F Sport trim was available only on LS460 and not on hybrid and, correct me if I am wrong, short wheelbase body wasn’t available on LS600h. Finally, is there anyone who import Lexus from Japan before? I am looking on two websites atm: BE FORWARD: Japanese Used Cars for Sale CAR FROM JAPAN: Import Directly From Japanese Car Dealers I do apologise for such a long post but I wanted to explain as much as possible (probably didn’t 😛 )
