Looks like a convertible in this pic dude!

ghoffner

Awesome! What dealer did you go with?

ghoffner

How are you liking yours? I'm pretty disappointed with how squeaky the breaks are. And I also hear the fuel pump ticking issue. Think I'll be getting both issues looked at soon.

Only a few short drives so far. I have been trying to try different things to get the audio system to something tolerable, which was accomplished more or less by adjusting some settings and connecting my old iPhone 4 by cable instead of using Bluetooth with my Note 4.

The brakes are a bit embarrassing, but it is what it is.
I guess I should start listening for the fuel pump issue.

dj,have you checked with your Dealership about the pads. Some of the guys on here have gotten there's replaced for Free, they said the Dealerships are replacing them with another oem pad. If i was you i would definitely check on it, they said it's FREE! I Agree, the Squealing is VERY Embarrassing & i Doubt very Seriously you'll lose much if ANY stopping power

Very nice! Look forward to hearing your comparisons.

Congrats on the car! Daniel is legit and from what I can tell is a straight shooter. I'm still on the fence between the RC-F and M3. First world problems for sure

ghoffner

Yes, I was very pleased with Daniel's professionalism during our negotiations...and definitely a straight shooter. I spoke with at least 10 lexus sales reps and he was easily the best to work with.

As for the RCF vs. M3....here is my honest opinion. The M3 is a heck of a car, don't get me wrong. The performance is unreal and you're backed by the history of ///M. However, I was not looking to buy the "fastest" straight line or track car in this competition range. I wanted something that was luxurious, but was able to put her hair down and have some fun when needed. The RCF is just that. I love how it drives during usual daily commutes and I also love how it comes alive when you switch it to sport+ and let it rip. I see M3/M4's all the time in Texas, but I have only ever seen 2 other RCFs on the road. I feel the RCF brings exclusiveness with it as well. I continually get people driving up next to me and giving me the thumbs up, or they tell me at the gas station that they love the styling and sound from this car or that they're "happy to finally see an RCF and not an RC 350 haha"....just constant compliments. Plus, with the rebates and the dealers giving huge discounts...you can probably get an RCF for +/- $20k less than an M3/M4. Just my 2 cents.

Damn nice, but that's the hardest color to maintain 😜

ghoffner

Agreed. I'm actually going to be taking it to a shop called "Clarity" in Houston soon. I am going to have the paint corrected and then have CQuartz Finest applied. I believe this should help out tremendously with maintaining it...
