Distant Sun

There's a set with tyres on the eBay at the moment for £895 or offers.

The red one is on Autotrader at the moment, it's just listed under IS Unspecified, along with another silver one with white interior.

It's on Autotrader now with photos.  Says it's got 49000 miles.  What was the actual mileage when you traded?  Also, the only close they've taken of the alloys appears to show a flat tyre on the right rear.  Looks great though.

How do you find the difference between the ISF and the GSF?

So here we are exactly a year on from this post and I picked up my GSF this morning. 

Black with black interior, 2016 demo + 1 owner car.

Quite taken by it. First impressions are very good, similar in so many ways to the ISF, built like a bank vault, great driving position but in terms of the driver interface and tech. It’s chalk and cheese, it’s amazing how much has changed in a few years.

I’ve only driven it 15 or so miles and have the run from Stranraer to Newcastle later to get to know the car a lot better, but the most notable point on the car is the seats.  Possibly the best of any car I’ve had, awesome, hold you well, and extremely comfortable.

not sure if it’s as quick as the ISF though.... no doubt will get the opportunity to find out later if the weather behaves.

As it’s seems with Lexus dealers across the UK - they’ve been easy and a pleasure to deal with, even though they’re part of the lookers group....

and they’ll no doubt have a well loved ISF up for sale in the next week or so. 

Looking forward to the drive home, just hope it dries up a bit!

Hope you get a smooth return ferry crossing.  At least the sun's out now.  Enjoy the drive home!

I'll keep an eye out for your ISF.

The ferry leaves from Stranraer....

I’ve traded the ISF against the new car. 

You're not by any chance picking up the black GSF that was in Lexus Belfast?

I see this one is back on Autotrader at Snows Toyota, Plymouth.  Now with 67,000 miles (was 63,000 odd before) and a price tag of £17,495.  Looks like the rear windows have been tinted since it last appeared.

It was on Autotrader back in October last year, a private sale on the West coast of Scotland.  I think it was originally on at £17000 but dropped to £15000.

Where's the slight deformation in the rear bumper? Cant see it

Back lights are definitely not IS-F - they have amber turn signals

Rear boot seal looks fine. 

It's probably had its rear end shunted by a van or something - wouldn't stop me buying as long as it drove OK and nothing was amiss in the rear - would probably change those rear lights out though! Otherwise the car looks in decent nick and there's no odd panel gaps in the rear. 

However, another white one has just come up with 38k miles on it which looks good

If you look at the rear photo the deformation is towards the right hand end of the number plate, you can see a narrowing of the panel gap between the bot lid and the bumper.  To be honest it was more obvious in the original sales pics from Charles Hurst as they had a straight on rear photo.  In the original sales pics the upper carpet trim beside the right hand boot hinge was coming away, but like I said it's fixed in the latest photos.

Hello all,

That car was in Charles Hurst, Dundonald (near Belfast) until some time in October.  They had it advertised on Autotrader as a 2007 car for £17500.  The registration is a County Armagh plate which was put back on the car after it was traded in and the previous owner transferred their private plate on their new car.  It doesn't show up on the DVLA MOT check because Northern Ireland details aren't available centrally (since vehicle licencing and MOT's etc were all managed / recorded locally before it all went to Swansea).  It was previously registered as DS04VYS and AG58FHC.  I think the 04 plate was the one transferred when it was traded in.  I had thought about having a look at it when it was for sale in Belfast but I was a bit put off by the standard tail lights and the slight deformation in the rear bumper.  I wondered if it had been hit.  The original Charles Hurst photos also appeared to show that the boot trim wasn't fitted properly around the hinges but that looks like it's been fixed in the new photos.  In the end it went before I had a chance to get a closer look at it.

Hope this is helpful,

Gareth
