Hello, my name is Rich and I just bought my first Lexus. It's a 2012 IS250. It's got 12000 miles on it and full Lexus service history. Hope to own it for many years. 🙂

HEY welcome to the LOC

Well done

Lucky I guess. An old guy bought it new from Lexus of Guildford, had it seviced there every year and then traded it in for a new Lexus UX.

Hi Rich and welcome to the LOC.

What a find! Generally the only way of getting a 9 year old Lexus with 12,000 miles is to import one direct from Japan and the prices have really shot up recently too.

You need a “Running in “ sticker in the rear window 😀

Take a look at this LS400 for example

Hi Richard. A bit of Deja Vu there, I think.

Back in 2007 I bought a GS300 from Lexus Guildford. It was precisely 24 months old but only had 1,500 miles on the clock. It had been owned from new by some old Swedish guy (living locally) who didn't actually drive it anywhere. He didn't even service it but as it had such a low mileage when he sold it at two years, Lexus sold it on to me as one of their approved used cars. It was so good that I kept it for the next ten years! Great car.
