Yes, before you replace the tyres take it to WIM at Chesham ( should be near you ) for a full 4 wheel alignment:

That looks really nice.

The pick-up in the showroom is a normal Lexus treat and some have a special room with lights for the pick up.

That's not too bad, looks more gold than yellow to me.

Got a picture of yours Clarkey? Only I've seen a few orange Lexus cars and a few yellow back in about 2005 but not a recent yellow.

Well the Tokyo motor show is the end of this month, so hopefully there may be something there

Have you tried Battery disconnect? Could it be a button stuck in?

Is the sat nav an SD card one? If so turn everything off, take it out, clean the contacts and put it back in, turn everything back on and hope .........

They do upgrade some cars port side for things like wheels and body kits so that bit may be true, but how can they lose it? Doubt if you will get anywhere tomorrow as it's Saturday and I don't think Lexus UK will be open.

Don't they do a steel wheel as a space saver?

Well I agreed to purchase a used Lexus ( about a year old ) a number of years ago. Put a deposit on the car over the phone based on description and pictures. Turned up to pay but inspected car first, massive deep scratch on bonnet, plus smaller scratches. Scuffed wheels. Salesman tried to blame it on a cat.

Needless to say I walked away and eventually got my deposit returned.

This was about 10 years ago so dealership hopefully would have improved, but I would never go back.

Probably, but waiting for the new CT. Think it's going to debut in Japan now in January. So will wait to see what it's like. Otherwise it's likely to be a used XE .... chalk and cheese ...

Buying a Lexus is an experience ( good and different ), been there four times so far  ..........

About 4 years?

Surely lights and wipers go trough the ignition? So auto shouldn't matter.

So what was wrong?

Salesman should have set it up for you.

Surely it's because the weight affects the emissions and m.p.g ?

No sure, but it's little change.

Well according to a .com website not much:

As Toyota rolls out its updated 2016 model range, it's clear that some refreshes are fresher than others. Whereas the 2016 Scion tC got breathed on, the 2016 Lexus CT 200h gets a mere glance, and only for a moment. Just four items differentiate the coming model from the one currently on sale, and three of those are optional: a chrome surround for the grille is standard; a moonroof, Lexus Enform Remote, and Lexus Service Connect are options.

Lexus Enform Remote gives owners control of the car through an iOS or Android smartphone app so they can do things like unlock and lock the doors, remote start the engine, and locate the vehicle. Lexus Service Connect works through iOS or LexusDrivers.com site only and provides notes on vehicle health. Both services are by subscription.

 

There is a warning light if you don't turn the handbrake off before moving. Can't remember if it beeped when I had my test drive.

Return is on hold, waiting for the new CT when it comes out with the Prius chassis and engine/drivetrain.

As Mike posted above £450ish at Lexus vs £270 at Toyota

Yes but that's a Prius, he hadn't asked price to service 200h. Anyway I remember these posts from back in thew 2000' when I owned four lexus cars and I think one poster even said that the same mechanic did the work but for the Toyota dealership.

Mikey so they do the same work, did you check on prices?

IIRC sometimes Toyota are cheaper, worth a call even if they are in the same site.

You have an undertray that's why no drips where it's parked.
