Just double check that under the bonnet you have an electric wire running out at the top of the strut, if not return the car under the sale of goods act, if you have the wires do the test.

 

Consumer rights act *

But pretty sure he also purchased it over the phone so would fall under distant selling act  🎉 14 days to return if unhappy pow pow.

Quick update on this thread - ended up buying the car and collected it on Saturday, even managed 33mpg on the drive home!  Still have the Civic but quite a different driving experience, having to re-learn how to drive an auto V8 though its coming back quick.  Certain things remind me of the ISF with the major difference being interior quality, its such a nice place to be!

Thanks for the help throughout this thread, Swindon were great and the car is all I hoped for.  Looking forward to starting to contribute to the forum once more

 

Marcus

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Huge Ask.

Anyone in the UK has this colour combination with ML and willing to sell 😉

I could be wrong but I'm pretty certain there isn't a single red GSF in the uk

I mean if money was no problem and/or I were to take up collecting Lexi, I'd definitely have one.

@Rob RCF I'll remain pessimistic and then be pleasantly surprised for the announcement of an LC F and immediately go to the dealer and pre-order one without telling my soon to be wife 😄

I don't know how I'll afford one, maybe start selling my photos of my toes who knows but yes... I will try to figure out how to get one also 

So I've scrolled through Instagram and there is no other even hint of a teaser similar to the one above, this does seem to be a first. 

It's also the first F hint since the change of refocus around the 4 F versions. 

They did state that the true new F cars are going to be a bigger track focus, which would make sense to it being teased on the racing page 

Some promising teaser imagery right here.

Hey Marcus,

In terms of concerns none to be had afaik, I've watched this for a while and its 99% due to colour. 

The solar flare is very niche and personally I'm a huge fan, standard imagery doesn't so it justice but my local lexus has another car in the same colour years ago and I've never been able to get it out my head. 

The last orange F car that got sold was sent straight to Yiannimize and then wrapped in purple, and a similar story sat on a forecourt for a while. 

Another thing is 100% to do with coat of living and larger capacity cars, 2 years ago my wife wouldn't of stopped me buying a moving power station however, now days the sales are being "spouses" a lot more & compared to a year ago people were convinced the costs would drop fuel, home bills etc. But there is no end of that in sight 

In terms on negotiating honestly I wouldn't hold your breath to much, Swindon over the last 12 months have purchased and sold the most F cars out of any UK dealer, they know what they look for when buying stock and are superb to deal with also. 

You've mentioned luxuries a few times: 

Heated / cooled seats are there and  the lexus F seats are incredible. 

The infotainment system is trash and you'll want to retrofit one. 

Heated steering wheels again retrofit but I would highly recommend Elvin Carbone fibre his wheels are stunning personally better and look just as good as stock. You wouldn't have a clue it was OEM.

Driveability the rcf is lovely, you can take an F round a corner sideways or drive it within the law with no feel like the car is punishing you

That's an RC 200t.

Angle made the bonnet look bigger than it was then, either way love the skirts on it. Stunning few mods on it. Cherry on top 

That solar flare RCF fit mate.

Good price very reasonable good imagery. 

Lexus swindon will slide into his DMs and I reckon will offer him 32.  Then relist at 43

I love the interior

I assume it has air suspension and it lowers to that level once parked. Or at least I hope so.

Would love air suspension for a nice low stance when looking sexy all parked up...

Oh daddy

Not sure whos car this is, its certainly at the topend if the price mark, but the milage is considerably higher than mine and i paid about 5k less🤣

That's just the market as a whole right now. 

2020 a GSF was between 28-32 mileage dependant. Lots of independents have seen lexus directly selling between 40-50k in the last 8 months and have followed.

But lexus direct finance etc is so much better than independent.

I had a quick look in the garage yesterday, left my sodding trim kit at the unit it would seem and as much as I like being helpful, not feeling so helpful as to go and get them 😆

Never got into dark souls tbh, games I lost time to were Skyrim, Dying Light and Shadow of Mordor/ War. Skyrim nearly defeated my university degree 😆

Love demon's souls and blood Bourne so need to grab elden ring for myself. 

But! Grabbed dying light 2 last night so need to destroy that first, would also just like to mention that the shadow of games are incredible

Hey guys come across this thread as i am also having this issue with trim on the inside and outside! Going to lexus on saturday to check the car over so i think i’m going to ask about what the can do to rectify this issue!

 

 

Splitter that's where someone has driven to far forwards looks like someone didn't park properly once and quickly learnt.

I seem to recognise this one it's the black wheels that have triggered my memory ....was it a dealer in Shropshire?

Well, I know he's had it cleaned at at a spit and polish in Shrewsbury because yano... Internet...  So makes the most sense your correct

God F fans really are a cult aren't we....

Hey guys my names jacob, i’m 24 and live in shropshire and have just bought a 16’ caviar black GSF with only 28,000 miles! And judging by the one up for sale currently which they are asking 43k for and having more miles i got a right bargain!  Its an absolute dream to own this car and never thought i would considering price rises and the rarity of these JDM powerhouses, i’ve been going through the posts on this group and you all seem to be enthusiasts of these stunning cars just like myself and i hope i can become part of this! I’ve attached the most recent photo i have of her after she had a good detail! 

Ahh, so it's you who just dropped me a follow on the ol' Instagram. What's the reg of yours ?

May be able to find some history for it on here :). 

yeah the current dealer asking prices are a bit of a joke, If you don't mind sharing how much did you manage to scoop a 28k milage 16 plate for in this current climate ? 

and finally welcome to the forum, fantastic beauty of a car you have. 

See I LOVE the TE..... 

BUT!, 

I could just buy an RCF Carbon, custom wing, and a GTHAUS for a lot less.... and would probably prefer it... And dont have the hideous expensive brakes that go with it. 

I wouldnt say no to a TE but the price would have to be right, I am so needy to buy a new car right now. But the current market im just going to laugh it off and wait.  Going to learn to ride this year and get a motorbike on pcp for a couple of years instead while getting used to it for when I grab a Rocket 3 🙂 If cars become sensible again in the mean time who knows. 

The LC is in Spiderman & Black panther IIRC.

After upgrading recently to the 4K UHD

Absolutely love a decent film in 4k. Ive got a Sony OLED UHD 4k TV, if it broke tomorrow id replace it for the same in an instant, Grand tour, movies etc all look amazing on a decent screen. 

They have DMd me claiming they will update the listing 🤷 which I'm glad about, hope the beauty goes to the a stunning new owner 

Attempt two of getting them to update it. 

They deletes my comment.. may just leave them a negative Google review for that tbh 

I mean.... 🤷

That's an old one they listed... Looks at the list of optional extras

Lol.. we must be terrible in their eyes

I bet, it hasn't got AVS as stated. 

Definitely doesn't have AVS, I remember the Monzo advert originally and it was indeed lacking AVS, I'll drop em an email once photos drop to let them rectify it
