Is200 Se Auto Gearknob

[Leon H]

Hi All

I have just bought an X Reg IS200SE (Auto) and it has the leather gearknob. I notice that some cars have the chrome metal ball gearknob, which I like.

Is it possible to get this gearknob from anywhere other than a main dealer?

Cheers

Leon.

Thanks for the replies guys. When did the chrome ball gearknob become standard equipment?

[sparkystav]

I belive it was standard and the leather one was an option.

We actually had a thread on this recently, and that's what I thought until we figured out that that wasn't actually true, pre 2001 cars had leather, post 2001 cars had the chrome ball (although post 2001 the leather one was still an option)

the chrome gear knob is available from the dealers and it is not that expensive, I think they are about £25, I bought one late last year,

Leon,

I have just bought a brand new Genuine Lexus chrome one off eBay for my Sport.

Unfortunately, I didn't realise that the auto knob had a smaller thread aperture and as such it will not fit my manual sport.

Cost me £29.00 + £2.50 p&p and would be happy to let you have it for the same so I can hunt down the correct one.

By all means check out the Dealers first to see if you can get it cheaper but if not then let me know as will be putting back on eBay soon.

Cheers,

Tony
