Had Your Is200 From New?

[tomo1981]

Hey all,

Just wondering how many of you guys have had your Is200s from new?

I bought mine in Sept 1999 (V) and still have it!

Anyone beat that?

I also had mine from new in 2003, had it for 3 & 1/2 years, before i sold it, the longest i have ever owned the same car :o

Been in the family since June 2001. See no point in selling it and even if we did we would just get rubbish price. Still drives beautifully, way beyond its market value. Serviced by local garage.

Bought mine in December 2001 and still enjoy it. I constantly think about changing it for something smaller but it drives so well, wahes up like new and has all those nice 'extras', like the heated seats, sunroof and electrically folding mirrors, that it came with, and all of which cost extra, or are not even available, on smaller alternatives like the Golf, Focus or Auris. This is the longest I have ever kept a car but I guess it is not going to get changed for a while yet.

I've had mine from new; I got it in 2001 with 4 miles on the clock. Now it's got 171,000 mi and I've spent almost as much in fuel as the original cost of the car :shutit:

had mine for over 2 years but not from new, lose too much buying new, recession or no recession,

i'm waiting for a white is300 to come my way now, altho i can't afford it just yet, but I haven't seen a single one for sale since I started looking, by the time i have the money theres may be one or 2 about
