I got my 09 450h Premier a week last friday from Lexus Bolton a week last friday, great service nice motor.

Mine went on my RX 300 if memory serves me correct Lexus quoted around £300. never did find a replacement.

Well the rx 300 has gone, what a cracking workhorse its been over the last three years, wasn't to impressed with what the dealer gave me for it but I suppose it was getting a bit battled scarred and had 103k on her, it sounded like it was going to be an expensive year with quite a few jobs needed doing so it seemed a no brainer not to change it.

Swapped it for a RX 450sel premier 2009 a few more miles than I would of liked, 50k, but a nice motor, totally different ride from the 300, seems a bit harsher but it feels well screwed together, just hope its as reliable as the old girl was....time will tell

Well my RX was delivered this afternoon (fantastic service from Lexus Bolton) and I must say what a pleasure it is to drive such a smooth comfortable car again, makes me wonder why I ever sold my GS

anybody want to buy a monster mercedes sl ?

Congrats on coming back to the fold :D

Hopefully this thread should be of help on the iphone front

Thanks for that, the rep that sold me the car (main dealer) told me that my Iphone would connect up and work via Bluetooth.

Well after having my teeth rattled out for the last 14 months in a Merc after having to sell my old GS 430 I've just gone for a RX 300 SE-L, one question (for now) its an 05 model, will my Iphone connect to the cars Bluetooth?

The current economic climate is screwing things up!

Because people can't get credit for a car they can't afford anymore.

tell that to mercedes finance

ask on the Audi forums, id have thought

I'm not on the Audi forums and you know there is an Audi owner on here :winky: :winky:

Just thought with all the knowledge on here someone would give a better answer than that :P :P

there are lots of audi specialists, or should i say VW/Audi specialists.......but seriously, if he has an audi, he best port of call, is the audi forums, as that is where the concentration of audi specific know how is

Why supercharge an engine that been successfully turbo charged for years :shutit:

After 8 months of owning a 220D with all the problems and failures I've had..... I'd like to change and I'm looking at going back to the car I loved and miss so much yes The IS200

The problem I have is that I still have around 10.500K finance outstanding on the 220 I reckon its worth now around 12/13k does anyone know how it would work if i was to change to a cheaper car I'm not in a position to pay the finance and sell the car privately. If I do trade the car in for a old IS around 9/10K will they just transfer the existing finance? at a great loss to me I'm sure

I'm not really sure how this all works and even more unsure of the options available

does anyone have a better understanding of how it would work or what I could do?

Much Appreciated

Is the loan a personal loan or a car loan?

if its a personal loan just sell it and bite the bullet, if the finance is secured on the car you have to clear the loan as it belongs to the finance company until the loan is cleared.

thats my understanding of the system anyway

On another note don't get caught out like I did once,

I had a C32 AMG Mercedes that I was struggling to keep up with the servicing costs, it had 20k outstanding finance on it, I saw a GS 300 at the local garage and we did a deal, I got £21k for my Mercedes.

I called Mercedes Finance they told me to give the C32 to the garage and they would send the balance outstanding to them, the garage gave me the 1k balance, I organised the money for the GS job done.

Six days late the police called around to my house the car had been clocked at 110 mph in a 30 limit, I sorted that out, then 6 weeks later I got a letter from Mercedes to tell me I had missed a payment, I call them to tell them I had sold the car and they promptly told me it hadn't been paid for by the garage and I was liable even though they told me to do it, to cut a long story short it took the garage nearly 5 months to pay for the car even though they had sold it within 5 days, it wrecked my credit history and took me months to sort out.

the garage if anyones interested RIX'S MOTORS WARRINGTON God Bless em
