As it was a dry sunny day I decided to give the beast a wipe over, inside and out. Must admit I was a little disappointed with the dealer preparation of the car (which I will share with Lexus when I get the post collection survey). This was the first secondhand car purchased from Lexus but I expected a better level of detailing. I mentioned a little dye transfer on the drivers bolster, still there when collected. Took me 5mins to remove today. I also got out my detailing brush to clear out the dust/detritus from the various grooves/creases and nooks and crannies. Wiped the seats over with Dr Leather and all the other interior surfaces with Meg's Quick interior detailer. Looks and smells much better now 😎😁 One takeaway from today, my word there's a lot more surfaces to clean compared to the RC!

I created a little album of images from the dealership website

Lexus can't do anything really. The VED is calculated on the list price ruling on the date of first registering the car. You, presumably, are still only paying the price agreed when you signed the purchase order? Lexus cannot be expected to hold the list price indefinitely so customers avoid the increased VED

Yup, traded in my 2019 RC300h for a 2020 RX450h, fewer miles and many more toys!!

I believe one can reduce the volume of the beep (at least on later models) in 3 steps via the multimedia interface but not silence it completely, which IMHO would be a bad idea..

Hi Chi (or is it Bill?) welcome to the forum. Are we to assume you are talking about the GS450h? Have you tried searching YouTube, usually many helpful videos on many things like this request. May one ask, why do you feel the need to 'clean the motor' ?
