  1. Agreed there is no way of knowing how much electric vs engine driving will be done in future. But you have an average mpg reading at all times. The same uncertainty is there on conventional engines...town vs motorway, hard driving vs cruising etc. Surely the calculation should be based purely on average mpg, and depending on what happens to that average mpg calculation the "miles to empty" reading will change. Am I missing something here?
  2. Just order an RX400 SE with Multimedia but had a demo car for 24 hrs recently and would like to see the following: 1. Front rear parking sensors as standard..Reversing camera is good to have but how many people like me have ordered sensors with their car? 2. There is no reading telling you how many miles left in your tank. For a car so advanced that seemed like a certainty but is not on the 400, but is there on the 350 I am told. Other than that I think it is a perfect all round family car and look forward to getting the keys to my car.
  3. Took the plunge and ordered a car from Lexus Twickenham. They have been excellent throughout and even gave us a 2007 model SE-L for 24 hrs. Got a very good discount on the car..unforunately the waiting list for Astral Black with Black interior on a SE with Multimedia is 7 weeks. Without driving for economy I managed 28mpg...which is good enough. When driving for economy I got close to 30mpg. We change one of our cars almost yearly,but I think this one will be with us for a long time. My Nokia E61 pairs up to the phone system without problems. Now I just have to stomach seeing my AMG get handed over to the dealer tomorrow.
  4. Anyone got some decent interior pics at night? Curious to see what it looks like.
  5. Thanks for the advice. 10% seems like a pretty good discount for a new RX400. I know you said it was pre-registered...but still very good. If you look at some of the ex demos advertised your only talking a discount of maybe £3k-4k off a list price of £43.5k for a SE with Nav. If I got 10% off a new RX400 SE with Nav pre-registered or not I would be very happy indeed. Will take a look at Autobid.
  6. Lexus Edgeware called back and apologised for the lack of service last week. The salesman has offered to come to my house to value the Mercedes. His apology seemed genuine and I have taken him up on his offer. Looks like they might just pull it back. One thing for sure is that most other car dealerships would not have bothered to apologise and make amends. Credit where credit is due.
  7. Defo not given up on the car. The more I think about it the more I feel the RX400h is the right choice. Will be meeting someone at Lexus Twickenham next week.
  8. Went back to Edgware Rd today. Terrible service. I left two messages and sent one e-mail for/to the salesman this morning asking him when it would be best to bring my car in for a part ex valuation and get a drive of a demonstrator. No reply. So on our way into London we thought would stop in so someone could value the car...1 hr later no one seemed to be interested except for the friendly receptionist who kept offering us drinks and apologies. The finance manager was not around again today so I received nothing back from him as promised regarding best quotes. I can understand the car is popular and sells itself, but I would have thought that one of the other 3 salesman could have helped us out. When someone did finally turn up to value the car we were told to wait near our car and nobody turned up for 10 minutes. Lexus Edgeware Rd will defo not have my business. Will give Lexus Park Lane a call and see if they are interested in making an easy sale.
  9. Thanks for the tips...I have a Nokia E61 and good to know that Nokia's are better with the Bluetooth option. Will defo take a print of Glasses and see what they say.
  10. Hi All, I am new to the forum...been lurking for a while. Always been a big fan of the Lexus brand ever since I got to drive an LS400 back way back in 1998. Obv things have moved on since then...more importantly my age and am now looking for a proper family car to replace an SLK55 AMG. Been through many many options through my mind and am pretty convinced that the RX400h is the right family car for me and my wife. Previously owned cars from VW, Audi, BMW, Honda and Merc but have found Lexus dealers to be the most welcoming so far. I have been dealing with Lexus Edgware Rd and so far been impressed. Anyone dealt with them before. Info I have so far managed to glean from various dealerships: 1. Discount currently running at 5% on new SE with Nav or SE-L. Does that sound reasonable? 2. The 2007 model has a major upgrade to the Navigation system...having seen the difference visually it is pretty big. I was told that this could not be retro-fitted to an older RX400h...is that true? That is it is more than just a software upgrade. 3. Does anyone have interior pictures of their RX400 at night. I would really like to see what the interior looks like lit up at night and cannot find any pictures on the net to that effect. 4. The dealership has left me very confused about the Bluetooth options available. I was told that you can only use the Bluetooth option with a limited number of phones and you have to have the phone docked etc. Even my father in laws Jag S type has the ability to sync pretty much most phones via bluetooth without docking stations etc. I have seen leather clad mobile holders near the gear levers on some cars...are they just holders or part of the bluetooth set up? 5. Dealership told me today that you only really start seeing 30+mpg fuel economy after about 10k miles. Sounds ridiculous to me having read many posts on here...I take it they were talking rubbish. 6. Been quoted £400 + VAT for front and rear parking sensors and have been told they have got a grip with the continuous beeping issue I have read on the forum. Is that price reasonable? 7. What is the best rate on PCP deals that people have got from Lexus? My bank can source me a brand new car on a PCP rate of 7.8% APR. Anyone got better from Lexus recently? Will be going back tomorrow so they can value the AMG for part ex price...obv will sell privately if they don't give me a good deal. Apologies for the long post and questions. Rahul
