Need help a.s.a.p - Buying IS250 in two days
Hi all! This is my first thread to this forum so please be patient. I'm looked up every info what i could about the IS250. Sooo:
Is this "rattling" sound is normal VVTi sound? Or its the sound of something expensive coming ? I really want this car, and I am able to spend some money and take care of this beauty, but i don't really want an expensive engine repair in my first 5000 miles.
After test drove:
Thomas a wannabe Lexus Owner
- Here is the lady: http://www.hasznaltauto.hu/auto/lexu...omata-10469255
- The car owner is a 60 years old woman, she is family friend. Did all the maintenance and all the TSB-s as far as I know, the car was on a maintenance 4000 km ago.
- I need you guys to say something about the engine noise what I'm hearing (engine was warm running for about 15 min before):

After test drove:
- Car handles smoothly not any noise from the inside or outside.
- Tranny shifts nice, and quite fast, in normal and sport mode also. Shifts backwards without any problem.
- Engine starts smoothly runs smoothly, stable idle RPM.
- Rev goes up to 6500 RPM easily, not any noise under 100% throttle.

Thank you very much for you help!
Carbon build up, Windshield moldings was done, and a lot of other things too. I got 30 pages of Service History today, impressive really. They also changed the transmission oil 2 times, and they used 5W30 Oil for the engine.
The Carbon build up repair is just a temporary fix and its need to be done every 30-50k miles right?
