Mine is also depressing John! My son LOVES Doc Martin and we all watch it together (unusual in these modern times) I am so sad and bored, I check the registrations of the vehicles on the MOT site as well! The P:olice Land Rover is still going but has much corrosion! I thought his second Lexus was a 460? If the MOT is shown as out of date, it could be SORN but also could it be scrapped / written off? His second Lexus reg was not available on the MOT site. Can anyone help please? Ca

At that price, it makes my RX seem expensive! Good luck with your decision!

I have to agree with Malc, Steve. Provided you can accept a complete loss then go for it. As John says, life is a one-way ticket! But if you can't accept the worst, please don't hope for the best!

I have not driven mine off-road but from what I have read it is not a conventional 4WD. It is not meant to be very good in snow but I stand to be corrected. I would not wish to risk mine across muddy field but would be interested to see a video!

That is an excellent colour combination with a full Lexus service history and low mileage at a very good price. Must be worth a look?

I will not be buying any shares! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55103706

Add the train fare to Scotland!

Please be aware, Sarah, that the 400h is NOT a four wheel drive like the RX 300. It will not get you through snow by all accounts......... however if you change the tyres for seasonal ones you should be OK. Others will advise but I think Michelin Cross Climate tyres have been mentioned. Fortunately we get very little snow down here in the deep south!

I was not aware of that, thank you!

Personally I would avoid air suspension as the pitfalls are more than the gains imo.

My average in mixed driving is 22 mpg - whether I drive it hard or gentle seems to make little difference. Th official consumption for urban cycle is 16 mpg

A lot will depend on the route you take how you drive the hybrid. It will be significantly better than your RX 300 for sure.

I have had the same on my LS 400, the brakes have been checked and they are fine. Pedal travel does seem spongy compared to other cars. As long as your fluid levels are ok, I doubt there is anything wrong but still worth checking for peace of mind.

Please let us all know which car you eventually decide to buy.

An old thread that I had not seen. I had nylon covers on a Mitsubishi many years ago and the static discharge really made me jump! I had to develop a technique of exiting the vehicle by opening the door and holding on to the door frame before I stepped onto the ground. My father kept pigs and I hated the electric fence. The dog touched it once with his wet nose and did a somersault! Static can be just as painful.

This is just my personal view. I would go for the 450h with due diligence regarding MOT history and service record. I would NOT purchase an older 450h with air suspension. These are the SE-L or Premium specification. You would be very unlucky to get lots of trouble with a Lexus. All cars can go wrong, but with Lexus it seems that ONE thing can go wrong and IT CAN be expensive to fix but after that one issue,you rarely get a catalogue of failures. there is a member on here who suffered a catastrophic failure to his LS 430 but he still went and bought another Lexus. Buying older cars is risky but if you buy an older Lexus you have more chance of it giving reliable service than the equivalent BMW or Mercedes. The Honda is a very good car ......... but until you have owned a Lexus ........ you will never know the difference! Owning being the operative word! Good luck with your decision, read as much as you can on this forum.

What did they do? Or what were they supposed to do?

Not from your area but there was a post about a good independent in South Wales recently. Sorry can't help further.

We love photos! Clean ones of course!

Excellent service should always be recognised! Shout it from the rooftops!

Cracking find James! there is a male and female in Tonbridge ........ wonder if they are married to each other?

If everyone was sensible and logical, then every car driving around would be a Lexus!

I never mind a noise provided I know what is causing it! But one that you can't work out ....... it drives you crackers!

I hate asymmetric designs!

I have quite a few! Rodius Photo by Dennis Elzinga
