Important Times In The Life Of An Is200

[Mr H]

Just trying to find out when the important times come for the IS200, i.e. changing the more expensive parts like cambelts?? And also the larger more costly services mileage wise.

Couldnt see anything in the buying guide.

Have seen one with 50k on the clock within price range, but wondering if it might be due for a big service, or belt change soon??

Any advice welcome!!

P.S - have you got a list of members willing to view cars, if you're 'distance buying' for example??

100k for the cam belt mate, most expensive service i've had to date was the 120k.

Cheers Wosket. Any other things to watch out for at certain mileages??

i know a few of us have had the water pump go, mine went at 90k ish and was replaced under warranty. i've had the car for just over 4 years now and had no probs with it at all other than a sticky caliper at 110k.

i was told 100k/6 years for the cam belt change even though the service book states 100k . l e mailed lexus gb they said it is 100k/6 years, the 60k service is an expensive one mate if you decide to get it done at dealer.

How much is expensive? My 60k service is due in about 2 months.......

60 K invloves spark plug change which can be expensive

100K or 6 yeears whatever sooner is cambelt!
