We sold this from Lexus Stoke.. I'd stay clear can send photos of the vehicle over to anyone that needs them 

Lexus Stoke.. come see the LS500h F sport we have in too!

Thank me later 😉

Please please no May.. I'm in Canada😣😣

I think I'll just keep my F if they try to insult me with a s**t part ex value.. we arnt stupid we know what they are worth both as owners and car enthusiasts.

@Comedian I don't think I will change it for a few years yet.. Been around them isn't helping though😂

@Big Rat too bloody right I do mate! Although the think you do have abit more room to haggle when coming in against something else no?

Did you get a good price on your's when you swapped for the RCF?

Hows that new fuel pump treating you?

The LC500 shares the same problem apparently 🤔

My ISF and Simon Pinkstones GSF getting acquainted... 

I'll be holding onto my F until I can get myself in a GSF for sure!

Now I don't do silly miles to work everyday the F is now ny daily driver too! 

Count me and my old man in for that too! 

Sidenote 

Are HSV's allowed?😉

At £62 I would definitely buy one. 

Dealing with the after sales lady at Lexus Chester feels a bit like "Computer says No" 

Good luck in your new job at Stoke Charlie; I too am after a space save for an RC-F rather than full size alloy

@MNMJ thanks for your wishes buddy! Let me have a word and see if I can pull some strings for us F owners... 

@Big Rat we just had a Mesa red RCF in for a pump replacement aswell. 

We also took a Launch Edition LC500 in as a part ex against a LS premier and what machines those LC500 are! 

My apologies I didn't think you were actually after a space saver I thought you actually wanted a spare alloy.. this is still something I can follow up with lexus stoke if you'd like?

Does anyone know if it will fit?

Afternoon F'ers suited and booted this morning for my new job at lexus stoke and pitched the idea that some of you wanted spare alloys for your F's .. now the front and the back are both different sizes so which is it your prefer? Front or rear? Can also work on a price once I know who wants what and how many of them?

Thanks

I don’t think you’re having a go mate, we’re all just having a discussion :)

They aren’t going anywhere. There is currently 5 on the Lexus used site. A good few of those have been there for many months.

The couple that have sold recently at Lexus dealerships (a white one at Liverpool Lexus that’s was owned by a forum member and a black one that dropped to under £19k but wasn’t really mentioned on here) were both under that magic £20k.

I don’t really know what my point is now, haha!

 

@BUG4LIFE i brought the one from Lexus Liverpool buddy, i waited for a long time before pulling the trigger, one is for sale on eBay for sub 15k with 87k on the clock ..

Now that's a slight change in car 😉

I'll make sure there is paper in the printer for you @Comedian😉

@Big Rat if that's something you guy would be interested in I can definitely pitch that idea and get something arranged for us F members!

Seen this on the lexus fanatics Facebook page. 

Gutted for you man. Hope you get it sorted. 

Where abouts are you located?

@ThebigC good luck with your new job.

Great that you want to make Lexus Stoke the best Lexus dealer in the UK.  I bought my car from Lexus Stoke and there’s definitely room for improvement.

Anyway, exciting times for you 👍

 @Flytvr nice one mate.

Disappointed to hear you didn't get the experience you should of. What was it that you didn't like? 

@Comedian behave yourself.

@antspants if you are in no serious rush I start on the 12th at Lexus Stoke and hope to bring a more personal experience to all Lexus customers, i can keep my ear to the ground for you on other RCF's that come on the market if the RCF that lexus Stoke has in interests you please get in contact with myself or the centre and arrange a test-drive.

Thanks

Charlie

P.s they are absolutely cracking cars 😀

@ThebigC Charlie good luck with the new role matey.......of course no one on here will be asking for any favours....... well not for a week or so 

Big Rat

@Big Rat thanks Paul! Time to set some nee challenges for myself. Been at my current job just over 4 years now so the time has come.. my love and loyalty to the brand made me give it a try and ended up getting it! 

One of the big things I pushed on George the centre manager was that I could bring a more connected and personal experience for Lexus owners especially the F owners. Any mumbles and grumbles you tell me and if your after a product also give me a message. We both want to Lexus to expand and we both want Lexus Stoke to be the best centre in the UK.

Look forward to meeting you all sooner in the year. 

Stay Safe.

Welcome @C.B, you'll find all the help you need on this forum. Good folks on here that will help you out, a real car community.

I recently brought an F too and I'm in love with it, not drove it much because of the weather recently but I can't wait get it back out. 

The infotainment system is the only thing that feels dated but it's function and that's what matters. Nothing an aux cable can't sort.

Best option on the Market and I've recently just landed a job as a sales rep at Lexus Stoke and I start on the 10th so I'll keep my ears to the ground for you.

Do you have any specific specs?

Hi

I have been lurking for a while as I quite fancied a ISF as my next car down the line. Well someone pulled out on me last week and I'm 90% sure its a write off so it seems I'm in the market for a new car sooner than I expected.

I drove the one in blackburn at the weekend and really like the driving experience and theatre of it. Didnt feel as old fashioned as I thought it might, either that or I was so intoxicated by the noise I noticed nothing else.

I doubt I will buy that car ideally looking for something a bit newer and lower mileage but I have a few questions to help me decide this.

1. Can I do anything to retrofit DAB? This is about the only item the pre facelifts are missing for me.

2. To what age will lexus warranty the car and whats the price? I have read 10 and 12 years in different places and since I would likely warranty it for the approx 3 years I will be looking to keep it this makes a difference.

3. Any previous owners of KM11EFO on here? Looks like its due in stock at lexus coventry soon and seems to tick all my boxes

Thanks

Age is just a number buddy your only as young as you feel 😉. I did really toy with buying an M3 or an AMG but I couldn't put my faith in one.. and for me realiablity, performance and luxury/ comfort were a must so the lexus was the obvious just. 

Plus it gets eyes everywhere it goes.. a good portion of people don't even know what they are.. slim chance of someone pulling up to the traffic lights in the same car. Happy days😉

@Toothy thanks buddy! I think when it stops with this bad weather I'll get it out more so everyday but for now with the salt and snow I'll leave it where it is. I know these are ultra realiable card that I'd half the reason I brought it, glad to hear that other owners don't have any trouble though.. think it's just because it's new still 😂

@Womble72 yeah my brother has an IS300 sportcross and he loves it too. They are so realiable it's untrue and such a dream to drive..

Yeah I'm aware of that but I think with it been new to me still Im still babying it😂 still see the ISF as an investment personally.. as apposed to buying an M3 and losing money on it from the car lot. I can't wait for some better weather to get it out.

@Jgtcraceryou would be correct in saying that it's my first real powerful car buddy. 

@Womble72 wish I could bring myself to daily it everyday but I'm still super cautious about other drivers and where I park it. People see the car and my age and I just worry about the attention that brings. 

May I suggest an IS200 for a daily run around? Mines still a dream to drive after nearly 4 years and just under 100k that I've covered myself. Brought it of eBay for £750 at the time with 70k on the clock and just passed over 170500 the other day. Never missed abeat.. not the fastest thing but it can shift it has a nice rasp to it when it gets going and it's got all the creature comforts your expect from a Lexus.. dirt cheap too

@FTBBCVoodoo that's F'ing awesome! Gotta get myself over there this year 

@Womble72 cheers Paul! I'm absolutely in love with it man. I'm proper cautious about driving it everyday so I've got it tucked away until the summer now 😎
