I guess this conversation would be more relivant if the chap that asked the original question lived in america and not somwhere in whiltshire.

Starfire pearl is actually a different colour.

Arctic Pearl paint code is 077

Starfire Pearl paint code is 078

Both colours are available on the RX450h, so Im afraid they are not the same colour here in the UK, and Starfire pearl is not available in the IS range.

Metallic paint has metal flecks giving a sparkly finish.

Pearlecent paint has glass flecks in the paint giving a deeper finish in certain lights.

Both are lacquered, neither are satin finish.

Starfire Pearl is not available on the IS range.

I guess what I am saying, StuNo1, is that the price you see these advertised for is not a true indication of the cars values.

Its a bit of a hollow way of looking at values.

All of which are retail priced, so that would put a private sale price for these models starting at just over 20k.

Trade price for an 08 model with average miles - circa 17500-18000.

......

You probably were told that.

Look into it though.

FYI it is actually a different engine than the one found in the IS300h.

Same size, but lifted from the Camery not the IS.

Everyone is in for a treat, the RC-F GT3 is at Ascari.

Good day gents.

I have mentioned in other similar threads that I do have an allocation available to join Steve at the Ascari track early next month.

I do have to be clear though, because there is only one seat remaining, it will have to be reserved for a customer that has placed a deposit/order.

If you are in the market and would like to know more, feel free to message me.

Chris,

Speak to your suplying dealer as they should be able to offer you a place if you have already placed an order.

If anyone would like to order an RC-F please contact me.

I have one seat left for the VIP RC-F launch at Ascari.

If anyone wants to order and place a deposit, please get in touch with me.

Lexus Bristol have an IS-F coming into them shortly.

A 62 plate - less than 100 miles on the clock for just £37950.

Any one interested?

Has anyone thought about contacting a local dealer and seeing if they would be interested in hosting a meet?

Or perhaps tieing a meet in with another, more established car meet in the area?

The Ultra Blue LF-A (no 16) is owned by Lexus. It has been to Goodwood Festival of Speed for the last few years and featured in UK press since launch.

It is one of 2 LF-A's that Lexus Europe own, the other being the white example first shown on Top Gear (driven by Richard Hammond) The white one is usually kept in Brussels HQ for Eurpean shows, the blue is for the UK.

Any other coloured models are from other countries.

Hahahaha Bond Motor Services!!

My mistake, reading the thread I understood that Ricostuart was talking about the IS200D Advance model not having DRL's.

Of course the late F-Sport would have them.

Acutally F A, the LED's were never fitted to the IS200d due to the deletion of the diesel from the Lexus range.You will only see LED's on petrol models only regardless of the age.

IS200D and IS250 are both no longer produced in anticipation of the next generation IS early next year.
