Yes, noticed it on AT this morning. Looks one great car.

What’s the black bit behind the front wheel on one side for?

I still get text messages. Booked mine in on Friday for MOT. They did ask if I wanted a curtesy car but for MOT's I find they are done in an hour so I just have a wander around and lap up the free coffee and biscuits. Last courtesy car I had was an RX.

Looking to get back into an ISF. Does anyone know the history of LC58CZR

Mine goes up in one corner then stops. Has done fortime I have had car. Never got it fixed dont use it. A solution looking for aproblem

Mine did exactly the same when I got the car. Just helped the other side up while someone pressed the button. Worked perfectly fine since.

Any slight resistance and it stops the motors so try lifting by hand from the two edges to free it. Then try again from the switch.

I had a side light bulb go once. Lexus changed it f.o.c. Mine was only 10 years old though.

ISF 3 miles to Lexus Stockport. They kept a lookout for me for a mint one coming into the dealer network. Paid deposit as soon as they rang and it lived up to all my expectations.

2009 is 9 years old so 110k not high miles. Just nicely run in I'd say.

That's a beast, certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at an E63.  Completely different league to my ISF!

I'd say it was in the same league.

Not my thing but they have just announced a new model there could be some good deals on the way.

I got mine from a local garage then took it to Lexus Stockport. They put a 2 year warranty on after inspection so doesn’t need to be from a main dealer. Mine was a mint 58 Reg, one owner, flsh, 69k miles for £5k.

Wow £16k! You can get a MK4 for less than that.

Agree 100% but that said my CLS55 was pretty exclusive but much like the IS-F, it didn't really stand out, looking (to Joe Public at least) very much like it's "lesser" variants.
The RC just screams out at one, even parked up in the corner of a car park there's almost like a big balloon floating above it saying "Look at me"!!
Even without the rich burble of the V8 to attract attention mine seems to catch the eye of passing patrol cars (it's not my driving, honest!!), a couple have done a U turn to catch up and shadow me for a couple of miles before giving the thumbs-up and turning off. We're just back from a midweek break on Burgh Island and we lost count the number of cars on the A38/A303 that pulled along side then dropped back to check out the car. 
Exclusivity is great but one still needs the car to be noticed. 18 months into ownership and I still grin like a Cheshire cat every time I drive it 

Great job. Have you done the electrics yet?

Got my figures off a Lexus sales guy. He said 214 RC F sold to date and 213 IS F left but nothing to back it up so could be BS :)

I understand from another member in the trade that my recently sold ISF didn’t depreciate at all last year, so it would appear the residuals are currently bottoming out for low mileage examples.

If the ISF is anything to go by 30-35k is a good point to pick up a well looked after low mileage RCF.  Keep the mileage relatively low & it will work out as cheap motoring for a performance car with strong residuals later 🤞, especially as they are currently rarer than the ISF 👍🏻

Currently rarer than the ISF but they have already sold more so the ISF will win out there.

In my 2008 I can get around 40mpg on the motorway but not so good around town. Drops to around 27-29 mpg

Should it have 12 services not 4?

As already said make sure pwr button is on. You get a green ect/PWR indication on the dials. Mine went on the day I got it. Makes a huge difference. You also try a 430.

Yes, I pay £27 at Lexus too but not sure if that’s discounted with having a service plan. The extended warranty also covers any work to get through MOT (except brakes and tyres)

I bought a Citizen Eco Drive when I got my first Lexus IS200 just because the dials looked the same as the cars. That was 19 years ago and it’s been worn every single day, been to lots of different country’s, swam in every ocean. Never lost time and never changed the Battery yet. I’m still impressed when it changes the time automatically spring, autumn and when I enter a different country. Didn’t cost much and probably worth nothing now but could never change it.

It’s not just the dampers on the post 300’s. It has the same integrated vehicle dynamics as the higher range ones. You can tell the difference between normal and sport but with all the pot holes at the moment it’s best left normal.

I'm a bit confused about ES. I've seen a good number of video reviews from American folk on their version of the is300h that is the es300h.
As for the demise of the GS in our country sometime soon it doesn't bother me. Before I got my is300h I did want the GS. I test drove one and loved it. However the boot for such this sized car is short of pathetic. Plus the car had to seat my daughter her 12yr old son and baby daughter  (in a baby seat). 
I test seated both cars and they stated catagorically the IS was more comfy than the GS. I was shocked so bought the IS.
As for lexus being niche. I bought lexus because I wanted hybrid and self charging is best. I'm not posh either. I'm a truck driving real ale  heavy metal loving 55yr old middle class fella. 
The GS is a fab car but I see far more IS and LS cars on the road. Maybe the demise is due to sales. I don't know but I do hope it's replacement is a better car with a decent boot.
