  1. If your looking for a fast and engaging car then dont buy a LC, as you have said its a GT not a sports car that weighs close to two tons the only difference between the LC and the Giulia QV is that your loose your licence 1.2 seconds quicker 😀
  2. You really need someone on the Lexus owners club to want one, then it should go smoothly, I sold my RC-F to a member and every went fine.
  3. that doesn't seem a bad drop for a 6 years old car, just under 50%, i have cars that have only been 3 years old and have lost 50%, i know that's what they are up for, how much they sell for may be a different matter.
  4. Have you looked at the Lexus web site and auto traded to see what they are up for, that may give you some idea
  5. I partly feel the same Brett, but i love the car, and why should i sell it for that reason. plus if i changed model i would probably be in the same situation.
  6. The Ghost immobiliser with stop the theft but not the 4K's worth of damage caused, but then i suppose this would be the same for all cars
  7. I suggest you fit runlets on your new NX, this will mean you won't have the urge to visit your dealership again, 😭
  8. so your getting the last LC500 to arrive in the UK , and I have the first LC 500 to arrive in the UK, ( for customer use ) its a small world.
  9. A minor service is £415 A major service is £770 Total for the 2 years is £1185 ( 10% discount £1066 ) ( 15% discount £1007 ) As a member of the LOC you should get a 10% discount or even 15% if your also a good customer It is possibly that service costs could rise each year, something to consider.
  10. The way i look at it is that if you dont have the sticker on then they are going to attempt to steel it, ( damage to your car )if it does have the sticker on it may stop them from attempting to steel it. ( no damage to your car ) i dont think it would be easy to find, its only as big as a stick of chewing gum and can be fitted Anywhere within the wiring loom, under the bonnet, within the passenger compartment or even the boot, that's a lot of places to look
  11. Air tags are ok as long as you have people walking past the car who own a iphone if the car is left in a garage or in a area with little on no foot fall then it won't really work. admittedly as some point the car will have to be moved.
  12. Does the service plan include 2 MOT's
  13. Unfortunately they dont need your keys or have to scan for a signal from your keys in your house they just pull back the wheel arch cover or pull back the bumper, connect there device and drive it away. the only way your going to stop them taking it would be to fit a Ghost or similar or a well hidden cut out switch. as for them trying to steel it and causing damage to your car, i dont really know, a deterrent may help, but profenanals will get round anything you fit
  14. Looks like the previous owner has opted for the 20' wheels which i believe come from the base model LC, rather than the 21' wheels that are standard on the sport model, probably for a more comfortable ride, or they just didn't like the 21' wheel design.
  15. Your safe Marcus, they used to charge more, they don't now its just the normal Major service cost although they will probably try to sell you some add ons, fuel adaptive, ect.
  16. Yes i think you are right, i am sure they had a extra higher cost for the 6 year / 60.000miles service for plugs i think they have just spread the cost between all the minor and major services.
  17. Perhaps you can both get together on this, as i have said it is a issue with the LC, in the US and here, it should be covered by a re call but Lexus don't seem to treat there European customers the same as the US,
  18. Its a big job, there will probably need your car for the best part of a day to fix it unless the repair job is different than mine was, it involved removing the back seat and panelling in the boot. mine still sometimes sticks, i always clean the inside of my filler cap when cleaning the car and now have got into a routine of spraying some WD40 silicone spray and wiggling it back words and forwards a few time, since doing this i haven't had any problems,
  19. Are you having the car serviced at a Lexus dealership, if so the car is under warranty for 100K miles or 10 years Ask them to look at there re call list, its quite a common on the LC, quote the Lexus Forum, most of the time the dealerships have no clue of re calls The US have a recall for this which is what i tell my dealership, but then the US get a lot more re calls than Europe get, we only seem to get the ones that involve life and death Its not a easy or cheep job to replace it, it took them the best part of the day to do mine Every now and then open the flap and wiggle it back and forth a few times, i normally do it when i clean the car, also a square of WD40 should help
  20. As far as i am aware they only do one red on the LC , this Sonic Red with the paint code 3T5 As you can see same car in different light
  21. think the GS450H Is the best all round car i have ever owned, i loved it, comfortable 4 door, 4 seater car, quick with good mpg, a bit of a wall in sheep's clothing.
  22. The LC is vulnerable and can be stolen by CANBUS, there is a port behind the bumper on the near side
  23. The LC can be stolen the same way as any other Lexus models by the CANBUS , I would fit a Ghost or similar and a visual deterrent, steering lock or driveway post. other than that just enjoy the car, mine will probably be up for sale in April 2025. so start saving. lol
  24. Bollard was fitted yesterday, all looks good and easy to use, i just need to remember to put it down before driving off, a bit of a pain if its poring down with rain.
  25. I personally think this add is misleading, the Sport plus has 21" wheels, rear spoiler, rear wheels steer , and i believe the seats are only half leather with Alcantara.
