Hi and welcome to LOC :D

Have a look HERE for tips on what to look out for.

Severe inner edge wear on front tyres is common but fixable by WIM, and "notchy" gear change is common on the manuals but nothing to worry about.

Good luck in the hunt.

If you go back to the main page www.lexusownersclub.co.uk theres a knowledge section.

In there is a buyers guide mate.

From a sellers point of view, its sad how much prices have fallen for IS200s :( Sounds okay that advert, but no pic doesn't help. :D

You could always look at something bigger and much faster such as an Aristo :P

Pricing isn't bad, books at £4,500, but he would struggle to get £4k from a dealer.

Don't forget the tax will be very high from next year.
