I really wouldn’t bother. Enjoy that induction noise and avoid the drone 👍

£49,979 for a GSF ? Im sorry but that is a complete and utter ***** take (£20k more than last year). That can't be seen as anything else but that, and for £50k a GSF wouldn't be my car of choice 

 

Chip shortage, greedy dealers maximising on profits. 

Totally agree. That’s approaching LC500 money - a far superior car! Of course - you might want 4 doors, but for £50k…… much better metal out there!

I see she's down to £34k now.

Primarily colour, but don’t forget, Lexus performance cars are hard to sell.

I never put super unleaded in any of my F cars. I thinks it’s pointless.

I won’t comment on whether it’s good value, but personally I’d wait, at least until the Winter arrives. Currently the market is mad!

Like the car. Shame Lexus haven’t put a twin turbo 6 in it (and made it available in n the UK)

With the whole world seemingly going electric, these will soon be an amazing bargain!

Is it under warranty?

I've inadvertently turned this into a German bashing thread! 🤪 

Is this a Japanese crap type meet or can se Germans attend? 🤪

Ffs. During my ownership, the only customisation was an air freshener and a QS. 😡

The good news for the Lexus fan boys is that it’s now priced more than I sold if for!

Has it got the brake shim kit installed? Lexus multi pots sound horrific without the proper shim kit installed, to the point where some places call it the "anti squeel kit". Worth getting them to check it over.

Try doing some high speed heavy braking

Congrats on sale.

@JonP where's it going?

A great opportunity to own one of the best examples out there! Full forum history from 4000 miles. Doesn’t get much better than that!

Best tip.... do it in a camper van - you'll see 1000s of those.

If you love coastal scenery, it's great. As far as driving roads go, on the Scottish scale, NC500 is.... average.

Have a drive through the Cairngorms!

It's interesting why F cars drone. Even in stock, the drone is there, it's just magnified by an after market exhaust.

Armytrix is MUCH louder than a Quicksilver BTW. Not sure how quiet it is in quiet mode.

After the exhaust mod, you could also wrap your car  subtly. Without mentioning names, there’s a bloke on here that recently wrapped his RCF - although I’m not sure it’s subtle 😁

Whatever exhaust you get, make sure it’s switchable (unless you can tolerate drone)

Here it is

There appears to be a 21,000 mile gap between the last Lexus service and the dealer “service” ?

There is definitely missing service history on this car. It’s BigRat’s old bus. Even when he bought it many years ago, it didn’t have immaculate service history. I can’t comment on what’s happened to it since.

Welcome Steve. Did you have a W205 C63?

Yes they do have to be registered with the V5 I was pondering over this yesterday, not sure there is enough room for red, gold, bronze and green on the spaces provided. So I guess I'll have to have a go as wrap may not be suitable.

I’d stick down chameleon

I can tell you the Alpine A110 is brilliant! I have an A110S ( replaced RCF Carbon). I would describe it as a grown up Elise. My only criticism is that luggage space is marginal for going away. Happy to answer any questions and if anyone is near East Herts happy to let people have a poke around.

Awesome!

Is the A110 fun to drive at any speed? I appreciate it’s a very fast car, I just don’t want another car that needs to be driven like a nutter to get fun from it.

Also, does it go completely under the radar of other road users?

It’s great to speak to someone that has one 👍
