  1. I nearly bought it when it was over a a car supermarket near Kempton, they wouldn't budge on the price; so it didn't happen. My second favourite colour. 😀  BTW your car will qualify for Lexus extended warranty after a free inspection at a Lexus dealer. It's a cheap piece of mind and excellent value.

    The first question would be whether its a Lexus Extended warranty or something else entirely. The name Assurant does not ring a bell as LexusCare Warranty is what its usually labelled as. 

    The warranty was provided by Lexus Tunbridge Wells. It's all written up on Lexus headed paper and with Lexus as the warranty provider. 

    My guess is Assurant underwrite it.

  3. My ISF has a extended warranty till 2023 - it is with Assurant formally The Warranty Group. The policy was obtained via Lexus Main Dealer

    I want to have my car serviced by an Independent as it's due a 60k service & Lexus want £720 to do it.

    Anybody know the position on this? 

    I have asked Assurant and all they say is that they need to be a Lexus garage the guy i spoke to sounded like he was making it up as he went along 🙄

  4. Hi

    You are correct the back seats don't fold, there is a ski hatch in between the rear seats which is useful. The boot is a good size. It is not a SUV though.😀

    Main Dealer servicing is expensive - £720 for full service inc brake fluid etc, £375 for oil & filter plus the usual checks.

    Extended Warranty can be had if the car is under 10yrs old and is subject to a inspection by a Main Dealer - better to find a car that already got it.

    I would say go for a 2010+ car if you budget will allow. 

    Only options are mesh wheels and rare sunroof. 

    In the US there are cars with in excess of 200k miles, so reliability on well maintained cars is good as anything out there.

    Keep an eye on autotrader, eBay and here for cars for sale

    Good luck

    The red pictures definitely don’t do the colour justice, u really need to see it in the sunlight, it’s by far the best colour in the flesh, only other ISF that has the pearlescent fleck is white, Lexus Woodford had never seen a red one and when I collected the car after the recall the manager said how different the car looks in real life, it’s also the fastest colour 😂🤣......

    Having driven this car and seen it in the 'metal' 😀the colour is superb - It has a full LMDSH and nothing odd about the way it drives or handles and at least when I looked at it the interior was almost perfect. The paint that needed doing had been done and it had a couple of new tyres fitted. Imperial Cars are useless as a dealership for anything other than main stream cars and would not knock a £1 off of the price that had it listed for- 'computer says no' was all i got. That was over a year ago and they have just moved it up and down the country to different branches and moved the price up and down a few £k. Such a shame. ..............................it is a fast colour 👍

    ISF prices in the states are increasing slowly, I think the ISF will be the car that will be the like the Mark I Escort, “the original” V8 irrespective of the GSF and RCF’s advancements, the latter two will increase in time but I think they will always remain in the shadows of the ISF......japan reckon 50 U.K. examples will be very sought after in time 

    Especially those with a sunroof 😀🤣
