Is that going to be a write off?

[Big Rat]

Hi Rick

Got an Uncle on the Gold Coast in Aus, he sent me this knowing what I now drive, the Guy owned for a matter of weeks stopped at some lights and this 😡

Not written off apparently it was just repairable, lot of parts I guess never mind the labour.

Such a shame but at least they can get it resprayed in a proper colour now 😉

The patrol doesn't look like it's got a scratch on it!  I'd be so gutted.

suprised they haven't written off either, I wouldn't knowingly be buying it, that's for sure

In defence of the silver IS-F owners, here's a cut n paste from an IS-F review by EVO Magazine.

"You can now have the interior trimmed in white leather (please don’t)"

Very good I like that one, how's the weather ?

Hope you've got plenty of slap on as when your back in the car if not you might not be easy to spot.

Silver is the second worse colour; white being the worst of course

I am surprised that isn't a write off.  Looking at the creases in the 3/4 panel, and the fact the rear window has broken, it looks like it has been bent pretty badly.

[Big Rat]

Looking at your car picture is it black or blue as us chromophobic blokes are very sensitive as I said 'black&blue '😂👍

The car went to a body shop near where he works and being a car bloke GTR 🙄, he watched the repair process with interest jigs pulled and repaired, performance cars value cost I guess .

I agree, on both counts............

@Big Rat Well, seeing as you are scared of colours, I will help you out and tell you that mine is Windsor Blue.

Yep, I still have mine, and you do hear about a lot of issues.

Although, to be fair, it is generally the same issues with new members asking the same questions over again.  Generally, a lot of problems can be traced back to EGR and DPF faults.

I am happy with mine so far, but I think unless your specific circumstances warrant it, the IS250 is a better bet.

Having said that, perhaps my title should be changed from 'Established Member' to 'Defender of Lexus Diesels' considering my post history.

[Big Rat]

I'm guessing as with a lot of diesels to many short journeys in traffic etc 

ive noticed that people seem to speak highly of V6 cars.
