Hi All,
As a New member both to this club & forum ( and with an LBX on order ) I must say I am more than a little shocked at the figures for insurance that have been quoted for what is a relatively small vehicle engine & emission's wise !! I am coming from long term mercedes benz ownership and have never been quoted anything like those figures ( even when I had business use included ). What's the general consensus on here re insurance issue ? My car has been ordered from Lexus Hull but this insurance issue is making me now think twice about changing allegiance !!!
Thanks for reading and any replies would be much appreciated .
I am waiting for the insurance companies to get to grips. It's only been a week since they had group numbers issued. I am pretty sure by this time next week all will be well and all these issues will be a distant memory.

I agree! My car has now arrived at long last, today I have tried numerous comparison websites and LV, Hastings, Lexus, Admiral etc. After a long and involved conversation I’ve decided to go with NFU at an eye watering £740, I’m sure the price will come down in the next few months so I’ll be keeping an eye on what’s happening and when and if the prices start to drop I’ll cancel my policy and start again.
I’m collecting my LBX on Wednesday afternoon - I’m so excited and am sure it’ll be worth all the hassle…If anyone wants to try NFU give them a call 0808 189 8702, I spoke to Cammy he was very helpful.
Thank you Sandra. Worth a look see.

The only quote so far today is lexus insurance at £1045 with a £1000 compulsory excess.

Still no quotes available on the Meerkat comparison Web site. Although the LBX is listed and in the drop down box for a week now. Will try again after another 7 days. my collection date is looming.

The insurance companies have only just been given the groupings yesterday. Comparison sites have the LBX in the drop down menu now but none would quote me as yet. I'll give them a week to get to grips with stuff and then I'll try again.

I have a collection date of 25th March. Just the insurance hurdle now.

Mine is still on the ship and due to dock 21st March. It was on the first orders end of September. Allegedly.

Thank you for the insight. I did wonder about the pirates in the red sea. Maybe April is realistic.

Hi. Has anyone been given a delivery date?
My LBX was ordered end of September, dealer is telling me April collection now. I assume it has left the factory and is on a ship, or maybe not. Does any one know when first orders will be available?

Hi Darrin.
I Invested in a karcher, two buckets and a load of products recommended by my detailer, even bought a hot air blower to dry the awkward bits. Only takes three hours to wash and dry now. Wife not happy. No more public car hand washes any more.

Was done in Coventry and Cost about £900. Worth every penny.

You wont be disappointed. Had mine done by a detailer when I had a ceramic paint protection put on. Rain water will bead and just blow off your wind screen at 30mph and the water will not stick to the side windows. Even helps when other cars have frozen windows yours will not. Good for 12 months as well.

Gyeon Q2view at £22 will do the job if applied correctly. I have it on all my windows and can honestly say it is awesome.

It's been a few months of ownership now and I realise the lexus protection paint pack is not as I thought it would be. So off I went to my local detailer and after one week I have a full Ceramic coat and It looks awesome. Highly recommend.

I could be wrong but... it sounds like it could be an issue with the brake servo or master cylinder. I have seen this problem with cars in my previous life as a mechanic. Far be it for me to question Lexus technicians, I haven't touched a spanner in years and not up to speed with current technology. ABS sensor fault would just flag up an alarm without brake failure (red herring maybe).

Hi all.
Collecting my new NX this week and planning ahead. I have paid £620 for the paint and wheel protection pack and think the cleaning chemicals that my local £6 hand wash peeps use will ruin it.
Question is. Can I use my current collection of Poorboys waxes and shampoo with carnauba wax or do I need synthetic stuff?
Just purchased a pressure washer and snow foam adaptor. Which snow foam is safe to use with the Lexus protection treatment?
Thank you for reading my post and will value all advise.
Regards Nige.

I'm sure it will. Waited 4 weeks so far. Nearly there.
Was plannning to keep it well into retirement.

Hi. Been in the motor industry all my life and always admired Lexus. Now I have ordered a new NX due in 3 weeks. So excited....

Insurance for LBX

Same problem here, your not on your own. Lexus insurance have quoted £906 for premium plus with one claim for a write off (my fault) and 3 points for speeding.
Comparison sites are usually half the price of Lexus insure. Still waiting patiently, 12 days till I pick mine up.
