I'm A Lexus Virgin

[jimjamjohnny]

hello

today bought a year 2000 is200se auto in slate grey?, with 90k miles.....

after selling my golf v5

have i done the right thing ooh er....

already found a couple of things the owner 'forgot' to tell me about

1;the catch on the petrol filler has snapped,so it won't lock..

2;the cigarette lighter assembly is all looose..

3; a slight knock from nearside rear over bumps?

4; only 1 key, it is the master key though.

5; it feels a bit gutless low down,

but saying that i like the looks,and the toys,

its history is patchy,but was told that cambelt was replaced

at 60k....can i check this?

but apart from that, very good nick.

regards

Welcome to LOC.

I'm not up on the IS, but I'm sure an expert will be along soon.

right took the car to my mates garage

he is gonna take a look tomorrow

to see what the knocking is?

its the frontnearside not the rear

as i had first thought.

is this a common prob with the is.?

i've heard that the front end does suffer

on this model.

cheers
