Newbie - Nearly

[04AAA]

Just thought I'd better say Hi

I am soon to become an owner of a 2004 IS300 Sport Cross Navigator and was looking for reviews and information in the search engines and found this site.

It only seemed natural to join :)

It will be my first Lexus though familiar with Toyota.

I'm hoping for many years of troublefree and carefree motoring.

The car has recently had a full 60K Lexus service and looks a dream - just itching to pick up the keys.

I'm off now to read up on everything this site has on the IS300 (something of a rarity on the roads).

Welcome to LOC,

Hope to see some pictures of your new car soon :)

Also you will find it hard not find anything you are looking for on this site, it covers everything from detailing to servicing your own car and then some :)

Thanks for the welcome.

Photo to be taken and added hopefully at weekend (weather permitting)

One thing about the forum I've found confusing, as a newbie, why are the models not in separate forums? I have looked in on several threads (the titles not being specific) only to find they are discussing IC200 or other models.

Yep, found that thanks, though it just seemed to have a lot more about the IS200 than the IS300/

Remembering I am very new, just how relevant are the discussions on the IS200 to owners of the IS300? Other than the engine size and gearbox type are they fundamentally the same, or are they much different - every part/operation and operation incompatible?

basically the same car mate just one has more power and is tiptronic

You'll soon be bitten by the Lexus modding/cleaning bug
