Am new to clublexus and the Lexus scene, just bought a used 2011 IS250 Matador Red Mica Base with 6300 miles, it seems the previous owner might have locked his keys in the car and had someone pry it open, the front driver door does not sit completely flush when closed to the passenger side door, its it about half an inch off(outward) and is driving me nuts, was wondering if anyone ever had this issue or knows how to fix it, I tried pushing it back in to realign it but it dosent want to go any more, any help would be good thanks...

 

What makes you think he locked the key inside. My IS doesn't lock if my key is inside and I press the button on the handle to lock it.

 

there is no damage at all from someone trying to break-in, and using one of those air poppers for the door to pry it open seems to be only the logical scenario to me unless there is something I am overlooking.....

 

An accident might be something you're overlooking.

 

Yeah man I think you should check the car fax if given one, If I recall its damn near impossible to lock your keys inside a lex. I thought I locked mine into the trunk one time & we have the little button next to our LED license plate lights that will automatically detect our keys inside the trunk & pop it open upon pressing.

 

Pull the door panel to ensure it is the OE door! Something is definitely not right.

So when you purchased the car from the door problem discussed?

 

I agree, make sure the door is an original OEM Lexus part. Has the car ever been in an accident before?
