The original deal saw Lexus take my slightly scrached and minor dented 43000mile 51/02 Black IS200 Sport for a pretty good px (Mid Book Price)and got about 4% off the price of a new 250SEL MM. So i think i managed to get an ok deal.
The £1200.00 is the upgrade price from 17 to 18" only you dont get to keep the 17"s aswell
One thing to note is, on the Lexus web page, pre-owned vehicles section there are 06 cars the same spec as i have ordered (different colours) for sale with between 4k and 7k on the clock for £1500 more than i will pay for mine new when it eventually arrives. That is a premium of about £5000 after you take the VAT off. That has to be the best premium on a UK sold car in the past 5 years. Since the launch of the BMW Mini
Those of you with new or nearly new auto IS250SEL's are really sitting pretty.
I am NOT prepared to offer the dealer anything for the larger wheels, he should be offering me the deal although we all know thats unlikley to happen. And if i were to want 18's on the car, i like the Hoshi wheels better than the Baransu's which are fitted.
Are LEXUS UK deliberatly limiting uk imports to hold up the re-sale value and prevent dealer discounting.
Infinatly more annoyed than last Friday.........
Hi Infinity,
Can you help me with my arithmetic? You said that 06 cars with miles on the clock were dearer by £1500 than your new SEL MM. If you got a 4% discount this must be around £1200. Where am I going wrong??
Did you get a much better discount??
