My understanding is that a local scrote nicked it and was after a £2.5k ransom to return it, hence the videos he was posting.

If the car was nicked to order, it would be long gone by now.

The owner only got the car in November and I guess he was targeted once the little bar steward found out where he lived. 

I see from the video it has gained a dent in the rear bumper. If thats all thats wrong t can be fixed.

Odd that the police haven't picked it up yet.

Thanks Glynn / Lee 

I knew the option wheels could be swapped side to side, didn't know about the bladed wheels, makes sense now 👍

Apart from being slightly OCD about things being in the right place, are there any mechanical reasons why the ISF wheels are marked for a specific corner of the car ?

There's one on AT where all 4 are wrong 🤔

Thanks David

It does appear a lot on MOT history, glad to see there is a fix.

Trust Motor Co in Bournemouth have one in your budget and it has the bonus of a Lexus warranty.  They have sold a few over the last 6 -7mnths.

Ultra Sonic Blue was not introduced till 2010MY so unless it has galactic miles or some issues you would be lucky to find one in your budget.

Good luck

This may equally apply to the RCF and GSF - When I am looking at a ISF I like to check the MOT history on line and I am amazed at the % I look at that have failed or had listed as an advisory with excessive tyre wear. Are the cars sensitive to tyre brand, set up, pressures etc or is it just down to owners negligence ?

I have found this to be an effective alarm.

Very user friendly, not affected by power cuts or weather, doesn't need setting and resets automatically.😁

Any update on the car being found ? 

There's a members car for sale with a Lexus warranty till 2021 

Details here: 

I don't know the history of the car, just stick the reg in the Gov MOT website and it will show you it's MOT history inc advisories. 

What I do know is that Trust have sold 4 ISF cars over the last 7 odd months and they are very well priced.

As this car also still has a few months Lexus warranty and a decent service history it's well worth a look if you like the colour

I am looking at a Mitsubishi GTO MR and a 300zx both cars from an era I like. Next I'll try the new Alpine A110 as I had a 610. Then last of all having sold my business and a few of my Fender Custom Shop guitars a McLaren 720s although I'm beginning to think they are worse than Lotus on the reliability stakes so not sure if I will go any further on that.

Have a look at JayEmm on Cars on youtube - he has done a number of videos on McLaren cars and the issues with both the cars and the dealerships.

If you look at the taxed & sorn listings for the IS F then there are a little over 200  ( 214 Q3 2019 ) cars showing up.

Of these around 90 are registered as 2010 + cars.

However a lot of MY2009 are on 2010 plates which skew the figures of MY2010 + model) .

Easiest visual checks are blue section to bottom of steering wheel on a 2010 MY car.  2011+ MY cars have LED daytime lights built into headlight.

All UK Ultra Sonic Blue cars are MY2010 built cars.

The attached lists the changes by MY

Don't get too hung up on the year of the car. Condition and a file of Invoices for servicing is likely to be a better proposition.

Looks like it doesn't have a current MOT 

Looks like it's been withdrawn or been sold as it's now not showing on the Lexus approved used car listing or on the dealers website 🤨

Apparently only ever 7 ISF cars registered in Ireland and this being a low mileage 1 owner example - just get it done 😀 

Have been and had a look at the Sidcup car. It is indeed SK10 ZXU from the BCA sale

Booked an appointment and was promised a test drive. Sadly that didn't happen as the car had a total flat nsf tyre.

Not a well cared for car and needs some paint and interior work to bring it back. The rear seat has massive cuts in it.

Lexus Sidcup say they will sort it, but I suspect they want a sale first. 

No sunroof

Will do. How often does the water pump need to be done on them?

There was a water pump problem with a few 08 cars, mostly in the US. Not all cars were affected and if it's not failed ( leaked ) by now I would guess it's fine. If the car has been main dealer maintained, they should have all the records of work done. 

James is a bit of an acquired taste 😀

This is a good representation of how nice Mesa Red looks in the metal. It's a great colour like Womble say's.  You do need to see it, to really appreciate how nice it looks when clean and polished

There's one for sale on the Lexus pre-approved website at Lexus Sidcup. No pictures yet and not sure about sunroof. Is that included in your 4?

Indeed it is. It's the car that was sold by BCA at the end of November.  SK10 ZXU and was in a sorry state. Interesting that a main dealer now has it. I am planing on viewing it, as it's only 30mins up the road from where I live. 

Don't rub it in 😀

Currently 4 out of a possible pool of approx 17 Mesa Red cars are currently available for sale 

Shame none have a sunroof 🤨

Has the magic of Christmas found you a RCF yet ? 😀

Of note, there is now a very well priced 2013 grey ISF in Swindon Lexus for those who is still in the market. 

Nice colour 👍 -  The Swindon car is Silver and in my opinion is too expensive, thats into 2015 RCF money with fewer miles
