Just a quick question that hopefully has a quick answer, I'm driving a 2000 reg IS200 SE. Does this have a Limited Slip Differential fitted? I know the Sport does, what about the Sport Executive?

I don't think you'll have one as I'm sure it was just the sports, I've prob got this wrong but I think you can test by getting the car on a ramp and trying to spin the rear wheels in an opposite direction - I don't think you can do that with an LSD

ps I'd remove your vin due to fraud nowadays!

Thanks i hadn't actually thought of that, far too trusting of people nowadays.

SE does not have LSD only sport, I don't think SE means sports executive, means summat else but I have had a stella or two so can't remember at the mo, someone else will correct me if I am wrong

Special Edition?

or special equipment

Deffo no LSD on the IS200SE unless you have some illegal drugs.

some say drugs...... where the party at!!!! lol

so what doe SE Stand for

Standard Equipment

aparently it does mean special edition

No.....

or depending on manufacutuer special/specification equipment hence the se is fully loaded

what you got that i an't got.....

It didn't have a limited slip differential, or the Sport tints. Apart from that I believe the Special Edition had everything else the Sport had, including the leather and Alcantara suede seats. The only real difference was it had the Satnav as a standard fitment instead of an extra cost option. Isn't it one insurance group lower than the Sport?

correct. The IS200 Sport, IS200 Limited Edition and IS200 Sportcross are all 13E. All other IS200 models (including the SE) are rated as 12E.

Interestingly, the new IS250 SE and IS250 Sport are both rated at 14E.

why do i feel i should have bought the SE and not the Sport

See the vin plate, where say "axle" appear 4 digits, A02A or A02B, "A" it's open and "B" it's LSD. Good luck!

I found a link that will help if you have LSD or no LSD
