lol, no i dont think so. Although he did offer me a brand new one off the fourcourt for a little bit more than the leasing price. Happy to stick with the 220D for now, perhaps moving to something a bit bigger when we buy for personal use.

It just gets better. The dealer in Derby is lending us his IS250 for the weekend, along with the multimedia booklet etc. Made up for sure

Priceless !!!! something i need to have a go at too.

Top idea and from a newbie perspective, perhaps saving alot of hours of heartache and headscratching.

I must be the only one out on his own. Meza Red, everytime. All my cars have been red of some description and after seeing one in the car park. Yup red for me :) Also well done mate on taking the plunge, and not opting for the standard BMW or Merc choice. I am an avid Merc fan and having driven both BMW and Merc, Ferrari too but lets not go there, i was completely taken by the quality of the Lexus, the drive and just how it felt all round. Bound sure to keep you happy for many a mile Red i tell you, red !!!

Cheers Lah, having had so much stuff off them i didnt want to push our luck a bit too far lol... thanks again though.

Many thanks for the kind offer. I have some good bits off the webpage so wont be needing yours, but thank you again. Its Chris by the way.

What a star !!! loads of good info on there, now having a brew reading through the thing. Thanks again...

Was just a passing thought, but i dont suppose there is such a thing as an electronic version of the Multimedia packages? Wont be picking ours up until the 16th ish, really wanted to have a read of the users manual, if only to get a feel of what it can do etc.

LOL Your on mate. Keep well and keep an eye out for a middle aged fool grinning in his red Lexus :P

I had the same response from Mercedes when I went in on Saturday. They saw my jeans and trainers and wrinkled their nose. Oh well, I took my 30k+ to Lexus instead. Oh well, Lexus are better made anyway. :) LMAO, its a real shame though, because having owned 3 from new ranging from CLK to the new SLK, I love them !!!! They let you walk into the showroom in jeans and trainers when its time to get the thing serviced But again you cant thank the Lexus guys enough, we were also given a bottle of champagne in a lexus wooden box (signifying a coffin? ) and have leant us a car for this coming weekend, because we got the delivery date wrong. Now you cant go wrong with that now can you ?

Consider it a deal, what is the colour of yours so i can make sure i keep an eye out for you too.

Sorry, colour is Meza Red. Its just one of those colours that i always pick for my car. See your Derby area too? What do you think of the dealership? I found them to be brilliant and am in the process or sending a letter to the Lexus UK HQ, asking them to send on thanks.

I have always been a Mercedes man and was seriously looking at the new C Class as our company car. Literally stumbled across the Lexus dealership in Derby and fell for the new 220D ! I have seen the adverts etc and honestly thought the car looked too similar to perhaps Mazda/BMW etc, but after seeing it in the flesh, well needless to say i ordered one there on the spot. Being delivered 16th May with the standard fit, opting to have the Multimedia option fitted too. The main reason behind us choosing Lexus over a Merc, was in the main down the sales person in the showroom and the genuine warm welcome we recieved as we walked in, wearing jeans and trainers A big Merc no no. We are going to keep the car for the 3 year term and if all goes well, looking to purchase a higher spec one at the end. Found this forum to be fantastic too guys, very informative and friendly too. I am a member of the Ferrari forum (we all have our dreams) and trust i know that info you guys have on the Lexus range, will be most valuable. Kindest of regards to all.
