Hi Kent,

Im probably looking at £12.5k with the plate to a member, (a bit more if I put it in the trader etc) Ive only had it 6 months and am loathed to get rid of it but cant justify giving it to the wife. Drop me an email at andybriggs@freenet.co.uk if you are interested.

Well due to starting a new job in a couple of weeks which comes with a company merc Im having to get rid of my RX. Not sure what to ask for it, but shall have a look in trader etc.

So if anyone knows anyone who wants one:

2000 (X) RX300 SE Navigator,

Blue

81000

Full dealer history

Just had major service inc. all belts

New rear disks & pads

3 new tyres

Private plate L3XDS (looks like L3XUS)

I may sell the plate seperatly for the right price :winky:

mine does exactly that, I thought it was when the aircon kicked in, but it doesnt bother me so I havent mentioned it to the dealer.

So are you saying you want £100 for them.....

Does anyone out there know if the rails from a mk2 will fit a mk1 (with sunroof)?

I actually prefer the look of the rails on, and I dont have them on my Mk1 - unless you want to sell the ones you took off yours, providing they fit my mk1 :D

I've got an original one for sale too (& only £25 + postage) :D

I dont have a tracker on mine yet Privelage were the cheapest I could find

I have one on my RX300 though it was on when I got it so cant help with price. You can still see it with th ball bit removed though.

39, full ncb, 1 claim, 6 points, £350 fully comp - Prilage Insurance :D

One for sale on ebay at the moment. Search for Lexus RX300 and you will see it.

I searched eBay and couldnt find it :mat:

They do come up quite a lot though.

I managed to get a spare road liner for 99p + postage

I'd like some info on this too as I have just changed my GS for an RX which I got from a non Lexus garage. It came with 6 months non Lexus warrenty but I would like the reasurance of the Lexus one. My brother has it on his GS and it coveres him for just about everything, I think.

I agree, contact Lexus GB, the number must be on here somewhere. You leave a deposit by credit card, they loan you the dvd and you get the deposit back on return.

Any problems getting one, drop me an email and I'll see if I can sort it for you.

Its only a 2000 on an 'X' (I am but a poor government employee :D )

Hi all,

Just made the move from GS300 to RX300, pick up the car on Wednesday.

I have a couple of questions.

1. Where can I get a roof spoiler from without going to the dealer?

2. Same question for a set of luggage racks/roof bars?

3. Is there anything I need to watch out for (eg. the front suspension bearings on the GSm are a common problem)?

Thanks in advance

I sold my first GS300 when it got to 177000 miles and was still running sweet as anything My GS300 II has got 130000miles on and I'm not getting rid just yet

You do indeed need the following:

Warning triangle (2 for Spain)

Shiny yellow reflective vest for each passenger (& driver)

Bulb set

GB sticker on rear of vehicle (Euro badge on number plate wil suffice)

Stick on headlight beam deflector

If you have a laser jammer - take it out, the frogs seize your car if they find one, they also dont like the detectors but you get to keep your car.

All your driving documents - its worth while photocopying them as well in case you have to hand one over, keep the originals safe.

And last, but not least UKD, lots of sun tan lotion as the weather predictions for next week look great.

Hi Andy,

the discs should have been with you by now, please let me know if you ahve received it.

They tried to deliver on Friday but I have been away for the weekend. Picked them up yesterday. Thanks very much indeed, the beers are on me if we bump into each other at a meet.

How much did you pay for the french ones and where did you get them?  Do you still have them? Would you be wiling to part with them for a short while? 

Cheers

I bought them from the lexus dealer, think they costs about £155 with the gold members discount. I am planning to go to france in the week beginning 20th June 2005 only for the week. If that time is not clashing with your travel arrangements then yes you can borrow them. It may also be possible to copy it but perhaps I shoudl not say that over the forum. I am based in South London are you also in London.

Hi andybriggs, regarding the disc please email me on gdenton_ashley@hotmail.com.

Email on its way.

cheers

If I was worried about mpg I would have a Peugot 106 diesel I havent a clue what my Mk 2 GS300 does to the gallon, I never check the computer thingy on the sat nav to find out. All I know is I get around 300 miles to each fill up (which is twice a week just to get to and from work), but more importantly I LOVE DRIVING THE CAR,

I've done the small diesel hatch thing in a vain atempt to save a few quid, I had it 2 weeks and sold it and bought something with a bit more comfort. Lets face it, if you want fuel economy, a Lexus isnt neccesarily the car for you. Now if you want great handling, quiet luxurious motoring, thats a different thing altogether. :D

There are plenty of aftermarket polishes out there that will get rid of the swirls if you want to do it yourself. Personally, if i wanted something pretty to look at, i'd buy a picture , so i stick mine through the car wash and when i come to sell it, I'll have it professionaly valeted which costs about £100 but makes the car look stunning . The milage I put on cars makes them worth next to noything anyway, regardless of paint finish.

If it were me I'd get your lexus dealer give it the once over, they should only charge you an hours labour - 50 or 60 quid. At least that way youll know exactly what the problem is and weather or not to have it sorted

How much did you pay for the french ones and where did you get them? Do you still have them? Would you be wiling to part with them for a short while?

I am planning on whizzing around france & Spain in the summer hols in my GS. Does anyone have a European Sat Nav CD I could borrow or point me in the right direction.

If you are buying new send several dealers an 'offer to tender' , ie get them to 'tender' for the supply of the car, my boss did it recently with his new motor and got almost 5% off the deal along with a load of extras thrown in.

It would be quite helpfull if anyone has any contacts this side of the pond for body kits it might be worthwhile posting contact details, I would certainly be interested
