About To Buy

[Chuck-B]

Hi

New to forum, and looking forward to reading the many assorted posts.

We are very close to buying a W reg (2000) from a local showroom, and from what we've seen of our 1st Lexus I think we are getting a really reasonable deal, but any comments would be welcome from the experts!

Like I put in the topic title

W reg (late 2000) SE with sat nav,

62K miles,

New tyres all round

Rear cargo immaculate (doesn't look like it's been used!)

Rear seats and carpet immaculate (again looks like new)

Front seats and carpet very slight wear

Body work great other than a tiny scrape about 5mm long and a couple of small stone chips

Small stone chip on passenger side windscreen

Full Lexus dealer service history

Asking £6k to include 12 months parts and labour warranty

Any thoughts and thanks in advance!

Price seems a little high but not too bad. Check the 60k service has been completed including the spark plugs.

Make sure it is a genuine UK vehicle.

Check the rear hatch gas struts, they fail to raise the tailgate fully although to be fair they do that from new!

How good is that warranty? Will it pay Lexus dealer rates?

Thanks for that Colin

I will have a look at the service book and the struts in the morning when I look at it again

How do I know if it's a genuine UK model?

Not sure about the scale of the warranty but now that I know, I'll double check!

Thanks again

Well we've bought it now so there's no going back.

What a great car!!!

Still getting used to it and finding out what it can do and where things are.

Cheers
