17 years of LR ownership is enough to make anyone want a warranty but I get your point Had black with ivory stitch on my last Range Rover Sport and it looked superb - however looked at Black interior local to me and SWMBO didn't like it especially with Black roof lining and she doesn't like the Aztec Blue either which I'm fighting tooth and nail for so the grey may help my case as it lightens the interior as will the sunroof I presume Now informed the used has some wear to seat bolster and stone chips to front and offered more discount on the new so looking like local shiny Sep plate for me

Well made the call to Stockport and waiting for some info back 👍 Appears to be a Lexus management vehicle and just had 2nd service so don't have to worry about that for a year at least - 2 years warranty remaining which I can extend to 4 years with bogof if I decide to go for it Mileage will come down for me as second vehicle - condition is a worry especially with Lexus history - discount yet to be agreed but may help me decide Brand new pristine with grey interior is pulling me even with lower spec and higher RFL - I hate buying cars - so many decisions

I wasn't bothered about adding sat nav because Google maps is better and they soon become outdated but didn't realise it changed sound system The depreciation when you leave forecourt is a pain but the £4500 discount should help hopefully Still probably worth a trip to view Stockport as it's loaded, cheaper price and lower RFL 👍

Maybe not but I paid £500 pa RFL for years on diesel Range Rovers until I got the phev with free RFL because of the environmental headlines I find it hard to swallow now that it was £20 pa but now £440 - mainly because of the metallic paint I'm also looking at cost during ownership not just purchase price and I'm not paying £40k either after discounts I can afford it but I object to being taxed further when I'm reducing my emissions

Mitsubish reduced the PHEV GX4h to keep it below the £40k limit for RFL - Lexus should do same with F Sport - £40270 list with met paint is adding £1240 over following 4 years to RFL

Think I may call Stockport tomorrow and enquire but having had so many long trips to look at "pristine" Land Rover/Range Rovers that should of been sent to auction I'm not very trusting of car salesman - I'm told Lexus are different and hope to be amazed Most of my family live in the Stockport area so wouldn't be a complete wasted trip if we visit them too Does anyone know if the Mark Levinson system is worth bothering about? The sunroof might be nice as we find it dark with black roof lining but can spec grey trim on new which should help So to recap I'm potentially looking at approx. £4k difference between basic new plate with grey leather and higher road tax or Stockport year old used with 18k miles, £20 RFL and higher spec - decisions decisions

Apart from preference for blue paint which I think looks spec is flexible if price is right I saw the Stockport used and considering trip to view - didn't know it could be moved nearer so thanks for that Looking at condition of 8k mile demo near me I was reluctant to travel for 18k mile used but price and sunroof/premium audio is tempting I'm not bothered about sat nav as I've started using Google maps after LR and Mitsubishi systems drove me mad The 200 is apparently being discontinued soon and I'm a new convert to phev/hybrid and so far no complaints so would prefer the 300h Used to swap every 2-3 years but now looking at 3-5 years if reliability matches hype and not LR

Thanks Shahpor I had decided on used especially as it's second vehicle but the demonstrator I looked at was only £250 cheaper than a new plate in September with grey interior and it's been damaged by multiple users There is another I like used with premium nav/audio and sunroof but it's 2 hours away and done 18k miles - I have travelled 100s of miles for vehicles before only to find they're dogs - I'm a bit ocd about my vehicles

Cheers Martin After years of churning out diesel fumes from my vehicles I'm trying to ease my conscience - hence the phev and hybrid choice now I must be getting old The garage is the old hayloft and cart shed at side of our Georgian farmhouse - looks and sounds idyllic but in reality I've got loads of work to do before I can enjoy it really The phev parks in RH side and the RC will look great in LH side I reckon

Hi - looking at buying my first Lexus after years of being a Land Rover fanatic (hence the username) Going for Azure Blue but deciding whether to go brand new with 8.4% discount and £440 RFL or approved used with £20 RFL Had one for 24hr test drive and loved it Ditched JLR last year after 16 years/10 vehicles because I became disillusioned with brand and bought a Mitsubishi phev which I'm keeping for swmbo/winter/diy but I'll be driving the F SPORT As a regular contributor on various LR forums and moderator I'm fully aware how good forums are and look forward to making new friends here and sharing I've attached pic of the loaner that hooked me thanks to friends who already own Lexus and finally helped me see the light Also attached pic of combo I'm considering ordering - blue with grey interior
