  1. In hindsight probably. But that's the disadvantage of having a Lexus as it's always the first choice and have covered over 20k miles in in less time than the 6K in the MG. Oh well.......it's only money!
  2. Regarding MG. Had previously leased cars for my wife, the last one being a Mazda CX5. When the rental term came to an end during the latter days of Covid and when any 2nd hand car was fetching silly money the only new car (apart from a Hyundai i10) was a solitary top range MGZS auto on PCP with 0%. So either do without or go for the MG. So some years later it's still here having covered less than 6k miles and it's not a bad car.The steering is precise, the sat nav and heated seats are good, it's shod with Michelins and has been reliable. Will I pay the £9.5k option to buy? I really don't know. But as a cheapish runaround it's been fine.
  3. Youtuber has a 3 year old porsche taycan (electric) and paid over £100k new. Went back to the same main porsche dealer as he fancied a p/x against a new 911. 'Sorry sir we have too many Taycans in stock we can't sell so no we won't take a p/x'. On enquiring if they could how much would his car be worth 'around £42K sir'. When asked what would happen if his battery fails 'well that would be £42k plus £7k labour' Do the maths on that one.
  4. Yes sounds like faulty injector I had replaced under warranty and all has been fine since,
  5. I've got a new Yokohama on one rear (brand new with 2 of the same up front) and a Bridgestone on the other rear.(still 4mm tread left). The Yokohamas were fitted by Lexus and no mention of having different makes, so I guess that's OK with me.
  6. Have a look at Good Motors in Bury who seem to have a regular stock of various Lexus models at any one time. Never used them myself but I would think they are picking up p/ex cars from main dealers. Obviously main dealer is preferred but just an option.
  7. My 450 is in Lexus Liverpool today for 6 year service. Got a service plan to ease the cost. Phone call to say I need 3 new tyres (I had already been pricing up in advance). I've gone for Yokohama sport 235 55 r20 at £180 each on the car when the best price I could find independently was £169. Not bad methinks given the care needed over the TPMS valves. Moving from Bridgestones as had the Yokohamas on the wife's CX5 and thought they were very good. Got a ux250h fsport until Monday. Lexus Liverpool are very good.
  8. No but you can get the online at ebay. I've got one on my side window. £4 if I remember correctly.
  9. Just renewed RX with AA who I was with last year (due 20th Jan) for £734 (12000 miles, £200 excess). Up from £411 last year but the cheapest I could find by at least £200. In fact better than I had expected despite the massive % increase, Coincidentally my wifes' insurance is due on the same date. Rang AA who were again quoting the lowest price on comparison sites (£413.00 with 6000 miles,£300 excess and son as a second named driver) and was hoping for a 2nd car discount. That'll be £1030 sir. Work that one out if you can. Other dual policy companies were off the scale stupid.
  10. National Tyres. 20% off using code. 4 fitted 235 55 20 r102v equates to £186.00 each.
