Sorry people this proves my point.

Your talking about worries with imports.

She has history but its all in japanese. I cant read japanese!

I have seen alot, take my word for it.

Altezzas are not the IS200 Lexus. Toyota build certain cars for different markets.

Altezzas are Toyotas not Lexus.

I really dont mean to offend anyone here, If I have I am so sorry.

Im only speaking from experience.

The only worry about the fact that it's an import is determining what it is from the seller. If we knew the chassis number we would know.

The other issues can be associated with uk sourced cars also, some cars don't have any history - with japanese history surely they could be resourceful enough and get it translated?

Well you say the altezza is a toyota which is totally different from a lexus IS. You do know that the Lexus brand was introduced for purely marketing a brand for the non domestic market - for those who want to buy.........even brag about the badge on the car! The Altezza AS200 isn't an IS200???

The points you have made are invalid imo.

Yes, as I stated it looks good age wise as far as I could see....

But.

He said there was no history as the car had been broken into, and as of this he could not verify mileage..and I stated myself that from experience, that is the only concerning issue to me.

Personally, I would love to find a Lexus/jap breakers yard and buy the uk spec interior as on second looks, I really like it.

Right, dont tell no one (lol-it's a public forum!)

I found out some info on the car today somehow

It is confirmed as an Altezza RS200

Regd keeper had it since 10/03/2004. A Mr I Khan in E17. But a new V5 has been issued very recently...The reply address from the eBay seller is Roohi Khan. So this is fine.

So, the seller most likely has bought the car as a trader recently, bought a Odometer/speedo clock with less miles on (maybe-no evidence to prove this end), and then installed it making the car appear with lower mileage...And then, this is backed up because the car was broken into and all of the paperwork/history was stolen.

I think the car is generally legit as an Altezza, but the mileage could be doubted.

The first paragraph is fact, the second paragraph is opinion.

i am going to edit this above info in 24 hrs.

Some Altezza`s DO have the half leather mate.... Most stuff in Japan is an option... down to the buyer from new i suppose..

There is a breakers in Essex nr Wickford (1/2 hr from jct 29 M25) that does Jap bits. I was in there last week (grabing bits for my next idea that is doomed to fail!)

They had an IS200 (2001 i think) A GS and An LS in stock. No seats left in the IS but lots of bits still.

Good prices too.
