Hi Folks,
Test driving a Silver 400 AWD Coupe on Friday morning with the Wife. Been told we can have it for a few hours.
We were looking at a V6 S but the 400 was the only demo they had.

I know its generally a good thing getting a healthy discount, but 10% is easy & it worries me that residuals only suffer.
I have been offered by another dealer a 2000 mile Silver 400 AWD Coupe that I reckon was around £78k new for £64k without even haggling!

Conversely I have also been looking at the gorgeous Lexus LC500 where there are no discounts whatsoever. They also come virtually fully loaded.

The F Type extras list is huge, it wears me out looking at it!

Anyway looking forward to Friday.

Paul.
White MK3 Focus RS.

If you didn't know the price, and could not see the badge, which one would you be drawn too ... That's the one to buy and forget about residuals ... Which I suspect will be similar in years to come as fewer know what the Lexus IS about and more desire the F-type ...

Just my opinion of course ...

Wishing you both some fun on Friday ....
Storm Grey V6 coupe, fun, fast, popping and crackling with smiles all the way ... missed more than I expected!

C43 AMG estate, lots of toys, like the F-Type but with 4 seats and far more stealthy but still with pops and crackles!

Hi Paul

I part exchanged mine when I got the SVR, great car but as I also have a company car couldn't justify keeping both.
I don't think though if you get a F-type you will want to drive the RS much, so long as the dog lays down in the F-type he will be fine :lol:
