If they can’t prove any history I’d get my deposit back and walk away.
something else will eventually come up,

You buying mine then Matt? Lol. 😉😎
I’m sure the pull in yours is something else Pete, can’t understand why it wasn’t snapped up.
have a need for a sports bike again. Tempted in a year or so to look at an f10 m5 with a good warranty!
dont get the use at the moment, working all week tied up with the kids most weekends!

Was the red one not mentioned on here a little while ago? If so it’s been knocking around a few dealers.
might be a nice low mileage black one up for sale soon 😳 !!

Congratulations, fantastic choice.
beautiful looking car. 👍🏻

An rcf with three years warranty should give you no worries at all.
good luck, hope it all works out. 👍🏻

The car rings a bell because of the exhausts. May have been a member on here.
have a scan back through the previous posts, you may come across it.
the exhaust diffusers have been removed for what looks like a stainless system?
the apexi switch is for a throttle controller. Allows you to adjust throttle sensitivity

With so few numbers Mark just keep your eye on all the usual means.
good chance you may have to travel if you have particular preferences.
i know where there is a very nice supercharged version in the South East for sale 👍🏻

If you can, get in the back with a torch and get somebody to go around the tailgate rear lights and possibly sun roof, if you have one with a hose pipe. Work from low to high to see if you can see the water ingress!
good luck.

It was a quick car before the charger was fitted. Good luck with the sale Pete. Hope he gets what the car deserves. 👍🏻

You're more than welcome to come.e have a look.....
That sounds like a plan 👍🏻 Drop me a pm whenever Dave.
what colour did you go for?
many thanks, matt

Sorry to see the isf going Dave but fair play on your replacement choice. The Alfa is a stunning looking car with the performance to match. Hope you won’t need the Alfa warranty too often!
Please come back on and tell us your thoughts. If you see me around northern Kent give me a flash, would love to see and hear the Alfa in the flesh. 👍🏻

The two cars I looked at before buying mine were at lexus dealerships. Both weren’t overly interested in price negotiation. They came across as quite happy to sit on them rather than knock too much off.
you would probably have more luck negotiating with the private seller. Been watching the prices for some time now, to make sure mine’s holding out value wise 👍🏻, most of them around the 50 k mileage or so are up for at least the 17.5 +k.
good luck

I so wanna fit mine but need to find a trusting local that can
SRD tuning Arqum, fair prices, checked the alignment, in and out within an hour.
drop them an email for a quote, they’ve done plenty of them. 👍🏻

@Mattmech Thanks. I hope so. Possibly a silly question but did you have to get your alignment checked once fitted. Mine is setup quite nicely at the moment so unsure whether I have to visit an alignment centre again once fitted.
Yes had it checked after fitment. No adjustment was needed on mine 😁
without a doubt the best mod I’ve done on the car. Kicking myself for leaving them in the box for months!

👍🏻 You’ll notice the difference with the usrs on the car. Made a massive difference on mine! Let us know how you get on with the ds2500 pads. Had them on a previous car and rated them highly.

They have 2 LC500 for sale at Lexus Derby. What chance do you think they will let me have one as a courtesy car when my ISF gets serviced. If I was in the market to buy (which by miles I'm not) there are a fair few on the market at present so should mean a good deal could be had ?
Always worth a try, last time mine was in they had an ex demo lc500, did suggest they let me take it for a while, the salesman just smiled and said he was happy to show me around it

H Matt,
Hope all is well with you.
Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands is one possibility if it was a southern meet. Duxford aerodrome is another I know some of the guys have been to recently - I’m sure they will have views on its suitability.
Be good to catch up 👍🏻
Hi David, all good mate thanks, hope you are too, above sounds like a plan, we’ll all get our heads together and get something sorted. I’m well overdue a look round your new car 👍🏻

I’m sure there was a mention of a southern meet some time ago? Obviously open to all 😎
any suggestions for a good venue?

Make you right there👍🏻 Roads are too busy, pot holed with clueless drivers nowadays, too risky for a fast bike imho. Done the track days and got fed up with that, hence fast cars 😁
