Well if it's not too premature congrats on your new motor!

Smart choice in my opinion both financially and from a personal point of view.

Re length etc, while it's a heavy car the engine/gearbox combination means it's reasonably easy to manoeuvre around, once she drives it she'll be grand.

I'd never bother brining my car to a main dealer. Most work i'll do myself and there's quite a few very experienced independents around who are more than qualified to handle the cars while doing so at a fraction of the cost of the main dealers.

You don't happen to know any independents who have the competency & equipment to handle a Lexus?

Rainyday, sorry for the delay in replying i've been on holidays. I don't know any specialists in Lexus per se but if you post the model number, year etc i'll ask around.

Posting on the motoring section of boards.ie would also attract some recommendations i'm sure.
