After reporting several times about the worst of all Lexus workshops (Leipzig), we actually thought that with the desired return of our leasing RX400h, the nightmare would be over. Far from it, Lexus still seems to go a bit more: because of imaginatively thought-out flaws (the DEKRA reviewer told us proudly and fairly naively that this workshop is his most important and long-standing client…) one more rebuttal of more than 4,000EUR on the leasing payments. The best thing: also because of an allegedly unreported accident damage, which had allegedly been repaired even badly. And the rims are damaged! I have so far returned in my life 3 Volvo SUVs, an Audi A 6 and a Porsche 997 as a leasing car, in a comparable condition. What Volvo always said so nicely at handover: “We can hardly expect our customers to bring the car back in a new state of condition…” OK, Porsche is still something else, but just to the contrary: “Because of the scratch before we risk the whole set of the legal charges,” the Lexus customers will at least be able to tell us that the biggest customer about the rest of their business.”

Lexus IS 250 – Basic Questions
Good evening, I have a few basic questions about the Lexus IS 250 times. There are the Luxury Line version and the Sport version. Both are separate packages. So I like the Luxury equipment quite well, it has some things that the Sport version does not have: among other things blue illuminated entry rails with the Lexus lettering, electric roller, center tunnel made of wood. I like that very well and in combination with light leather makes a great impression. The Sport version, however, has fine 18 inch wheels and aluminium pedals. That can be retrofitted to the luxury version for the sake of necessity. Or? But now the decisive thing: the translation in the Sport version is more splashy, in other words, you get ahead faster, isn’t it? Does this mean that this transmission translation really only exists for the Sport? I have already read many times that the Sport version is not so comfortable, i.e. quite hard – it scares off bits!

Recommendation for currentless dehumidifiers in the classic car / wintering in the hall
Hello together, I wanted to hire my 123er at the farmer’s large dry hall until April. The car is dry there, but not warm. I don’t have electricity there. What do you think, should I put any dehumidifiers in the car until April? Do you have recommendations for this over the entire period of time? I can’t always get to the car. Thx and Greeting

to which vehicle are these rims?? Porsche, VW, Military??
I’ve been on the AMI forum before, but when we browsed, we came across these rims. 13 inches and really old, but which vehicle do they belong to? Because they look a little unusual, they might be interesting for someone and too bad to throw away. Previous hints: an old Porsche was once in the fleet, but also a beetle. The profile is quite rough, maybe also a VW Military? For hints I am grateful if someone has a purchase interest, then also report.

What do you think of the chic E9?
Unfortunately I couldn’t choose the E9. What do you say ? For me the Sharknose is one of the most beautiful BMWs and one of the most beautiful classic cars ever. Just as CS and as a pure carburetor I find the Mega horny:https://youtu.be/31itDV4n1Yw Check it out and say your opinion LG

Do you need to report a Classic Data review to the insurance company immediately?
Hello Oldi–Fans, I had my Oltimer evaluated by a Classic Data reviewer last week or is it still in work. It’s a short rating. Now I got in touch with my insurance company if they want/must have this rating. After all, the insurance doesn’t know at the moment about the condition or replacement value. In response I got the statement: “only in case of damage we need the rating…” I actually thought that the contributions increase if they know that the car has a five-digit value. What did you do?

Humidity, temperature, dew point… when does what rust?
Since I know that there are a few resourceful physicists and chemists here (e.g. Kester/Rotherbach), I’m sure you can take me on for centuries I actually wanted to put an electric dehumidifier in the garage so that the beetle always has a nice dryness. The dehumidifier works like the AC in the car, so that air flows over a cooled area, whereby the humidity condenses. This works quite splendidly in warm air, but under 5 degrees (plus) is dead pants, because that doesn’t work any more. Unfortunately, my garage has almost outside temperature, i.e. the 5 degrees and less are normal in winter. Now, of course, you can heat the temperature to 10 degrees and then run the dehumidifier at the same time. Cost a little bit at today’s electricity prices Has one better idea how to do it? Or is for example 2 degrees at 80% humidity not so bad for rusting, because at the temperature is rather small despite 80% of the amount of water in the air. 10,5 grams of water at only 13 degrees of humidity?

What’s the point of Cooper S?
Hello again! Can you please tell me briefly and painlessly, what is the current Cooper S in comparison to the 120d/120i, Leon FR and other similar small, well-motorized cars? I think that handling is best. What about the subjectively felt acceleration? Is a diesel still worth 15tkm/year and the adjusted petrol prices? I don’t think…

Overlay with Mini Cabrio
Hello and good morning, did you see WISO yesterday?! Among other things, they had a report of the ADAC in the program. He tested the rollover behavior of several smaller convertibles, among others also the Mini Cabrio. Conclusion in school grades: safety back note 3, safety front note 4 Is not convincing. Hopefully the engineers can think of something until the new sales start. VG Thomas
