New car handover fuel level

Hello all

I’m due to pick up my brand new ES next week and was wondering how much fuel should I expect in the tank as part of the handover. Some manufacturers stipulate an estimated amount as part of the delivery cost but I can’t find any information with Lexus. 
 

How much fuel have new owners been afforded on here?

You are based in Yorkshire ?

Well all those based in the South had full tanks & the further North you go (going on the posts here) it will get a lot less.

So Yorkshire it may be fumes and a map to the nearest garage ?       😙

On a £ 40k car! Disgraceful!

I picked up my base-model ES from the dealer and the tank was full to the brim. I would not expect anything less.

Snap, mine was full to top, and when it went back in for a slight fix (replaced a bit of the chrome trim around window) they topped it up again

I wouldn't bet on it as I had a dealer attempt to secure my business with a full tank offer.

I obviously laughed as what's £80 in comparison to paying £x less each month over 3 or 4 years...

Bought mine as an ex demonstrator. Had to fill up on the way home. When I questioned not having a full tank (as I expected it) they said you didn’t ask for a full tank. 
Unforgivable in my opinion. Never been back to that dealer since. In over 6 years.

The financial side of the transaction left me feeling ripped off. But I did get the tea ceremony. 
do they still do that?

Thanks Paul.

I don`t recall reading about poor service from Lexus Stoke previously.

You spend 20/30/40/50k on a car and have to ask for a full tank?? 

I find this a prime example of NOT putting the customer first. Disgraceful and not one argument will set this. Ryanair comes to mind .

Does Lexus HQ allow this?
