Hi all, unfortunately the time has come for me to consider letting my beloved IS200 go. My only reasons for thinking of selling are that it has had a little damage done to it because of where I have to park it overnight. needless to say I'm livid about it but I can do nothing about it as I have been seriously struggling money wise since mid way through last year. I would get the repairs done to it but I am worried about spending the money to fix it and some to$$er damaging it again so I just thought I would ask you guys what you thought it might be worth or what I might expect to get for it if I advertised it for sale. THIS IS NOT A SALES PITCH as I now realise you must be a gold member to sell cars on here, I'm simply trying to get an idea what it may be worth.
Anyway, here are the details: -
2000 W Reg IS200 SE in silver, manual gearbox
Approx 144,500 miles but used daily (and has never let me down in over 2 years)
Excellent runner having only ever needed a new drivers side front wheel bearing (done), middle exhaust pipe (done) and 1 exhaust gasket (advisory on last MOT which was done within 2 days) need changing
17" original Lexus alloys (need a refurb due to kerbing that was on them when I bought the car)
All the usual SE spec
Original stereo would not play CDs so I have relaced the entire system with a double din Clarion Max688RBT 7" touchscreen DVD/MP3 player with built in Bluetooth (nearly £700 when bought new, seriously nice stereo) and rear USB port (which I use with a 16GB USB Stick to hold endless music), a Juice 1200w amp driving Vibe Edge ED306 Front Component Speakers and a twin 12" Armageddon shallow depth Active Sub in the boot (built by Rockford Fosgate and leaves loads of boot space) although I would have to consider pulling the stereo and sub but that's negotiable
Full service history with original Lexus wallet and all documentation
3 Keys including 2 Master and 1 Valet key
Taxed till end of January 2012
Has 4 very good Falken Asymetric tyres fitted which cost me about £300 just over a year ago, give much better grip in all weather conditions compared to all the Beemers I kept going straight past in the snow last winter!
HIDs fitted to front and all other front bulbs replaced with Ring Ultra Xenons
Never been smoked in
New front discs and pads fitted in February 2011
Bad points:
The car was keyed twice down the passenger side the same day my missus opened the door into a bollard in the car park (grrr). Had quotes for about £220 to sort the lot out and the next bad point too)
Scuff on rear drivers side wheel arch (was there when I bought the car)
Small dent in the roof, rear drivers side by the aerial, I still have to try tap it out
Anyway, I am just wondering what people think this car might be worth if I was to advertise it as I have no idea.
Cheers
