• Lexus IS250 21 Jul 2025 (Forum)
  Change it too early and the only argument is you’re wasting your money. So a goldie-locks interval must exist! I see that Lexus Europe recommends every 6 years under severe usage which includes town driving. Anyhow, I know the risks. Any recommendations for a specialist in or near Suffolk? Thanks

• Lexus RX 450h - Lexus Dealership 1 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  I basically had to sell this car, and buy another type of vehicle of which could be converted, of which lost me in access of £4000 on the Lexus, and roughly the same amount on the Toyota Rav 4 I purchased. I was realistic in my opinion in not expecting the full amount back on the Lexus, I had after all driven some 3000 miles in it, but would have expected a much more of a better deal than I got.
