Total Ls Sales Last Year

[jpjsavage]

Only 20 LS400 sales last year (10 private and 10 fleet) according to this: http://media.toyota.co.uk/2012/04/lexus-uk-vehicle-sales-figures-april-2012/

It's nice to be part of an exclusive club!

[Malc]

would that be the LS600 then ?

Given that they haven't subdivided any of the figures into specific models, I'm guessing it would refer to sales of all LS models in the year in the UK.

[graham8370]

I think it refers to new cars only, so obviously the LS600.

[jpjsavage]

Yes, I guess so.

As you say, what an exclusive club. Mike

Yep, clearly not a mass produced item! It would be interesting to know how this number (20) compares to other luxury cars at a similar price point.

I bet they sold a lot more 7 series beemers and a lot more S class Mercs...

Thats because there are a lot more people with bad taste than good like our good selves. Mike

Lol... Yes agreed :)

[jpjsavage]

Yes! If I get a minute, I might try and dig around the internet and see how many 7 series BMW were sold last year - just by way of comparison.

[Scribe]

If you spend an hour or two around Knightsbridge or Kensington you'll see loads of new Merc S class and BMW 7 series but not a single LS600.

I assumed that virtually all new 600s were leased, because of the massive depreciation from new. Would the figure of 10 fleet sales include leasing, or only outright purchases? Anyway, 10 private owners (with good taste) bought one.

BUT I understand LEXUS have beat every other mark combined! in the USA which is their market of choice & you know that's true when they keep popping up on the likes of CSI. In fact my first sight of the SC was on CSI Las Vegas in which the actors referred to it as a 'great car'

Although this doesn't give model information, it does provide a useful overview of the increases/decreases in market share during 2012 - with Lexus enjoying a 1.63% rise in sales apparently:

You do have to take a lot of these figures with a pinch of salt as many manufactures will make their dealerships register new cars all though they haven't been sold, they are then sold as ex demonstrators over the coming months, this is something which is practiced quite widely with the more common marques on our roads which now include BMW, Mercedes, Ford etc. I would think that makes the LS figures the most honest figures ever supplied from the motor trade.

[jpjsavage]

I agree. I've had no experience of the motor trade directly but I'm sure there will be some 'massaging' of the figures along the way ;).
