What Car Do I Get Next ?

Tracker is effective, but not always. The night my car got jacked the weather prevented the police helicopter (it was raining ??) so they could not pursue despite me notifying Tracker immediately. They had to rely on the in car units to locate the car, which as it happened had been abondoned half a mile down the road.

Another point on Tracker. Do you really want a car back after it has been stolen? I somethimes think I'd have been happier never to see my again. The hassle getting it back, and then the way it doesn't feel the same....

That's bery true ..... even Lexus said to me yesterday .... it's better to just get GAP insurance .... coz he said "at least you'll get your money back, would you really want your car back?"

I went from an IS200 Sport to a GS300 Sport and was really pleased with my choice. Depends though, if you prefer the size of the IS go for the 300!

[Kazi]

My vote goes on the IS300, thats what i'll probably go for in a year or so. Hope you get something sorted. aqz\\QZwsC

The IS300 is never a bad choice, and if you deffo wana stay lex, then i reckon its best option considering everything.

One question, what is GAP insurance?

[d3fy]

I would not buy a model that is going to be replaced so soon, I would look else where

One question, what is GAP insurance?

It's an insurance that's in addition to your normal insurance. It will pay the difference between what your normal insurance pays out and what your car cost when it was new.

So, if your £20,000 car gets written off and your insurance pays out £17,000, the GAP insurance will pay out another £3000.

GAP insurance is usually only available for fairly new cars (usually up to 3 years old I think).

Ahh I see, sounds like a pretty sensible idea. So I take it after 3 years the GAP policy is taken off? I am with elephant.co.uk as they are pretty cheap, but I reckon they don't have this option. There are only a few months left till my IS is 3 years old too :(
