Sorry I don't own a Lexus but we may do buy the end of the week we are thinking of trading in our BM


I am already in the toyota family kind of... here is my truck a TRD supercharged hilux


are there any common problems with the lexus that I may experience ?
It will have to be an IS250 as the IS350 doesn't come out in Australia till later this year

 

Welcome to CL, here's a picture I took when I traveled to Brisbane with college.



Anyway, people complain about rattling, but I don't have this problem, at least it doesn't annoy me. I have a dead headlight after 3 years of driving, I'll fix that soon. Some people find the IS250 slow if that bothers you. Which 3-series is that btw?

 

hey, im in sydney australia aswell
i have a 07 IS250 Sport (18" rims, navi, ML stereo, alcantara)

i bought it 2nd hand, with 26,000km's on it, back in march
its a great car, and i love it (mainly cuz its probably one of the best cars u can drive on ur P's)

no real problems, except, make sure u get ur brakes replaced or watever, with the new low brake dust ones, cuz the ones i have now (havent been replaced yet) make a bad sqealing noise at low speed, ives heard theres are TSB for it

 

welcome to cl, just check all tsb's for you're potential car. brakes and what not. nice hilux btw!

 

welcome to CL! you should wait on the IS50-it's really worth it.

 

Welcome. Hope you trade the BMW for the Lex. Love the Hilux

 

I say wait for that 350, the power is very noticeable......

 

Gday from adelaide mate . Good to see a few aussies on here.

 

Another South Australian here!!

 

yeh, i would also (if i was on a full license) wait fora 350, but since im in my P's and cant drive the 350 anyway, the 250 was good enuff for me

look out for a SGM IS250 Sport with 18" rims, rocking red P plates, probably me, lol
