North East Noob

[SamBerry95]

Hi everyone! My name's Sam, and I'm from Aberdeen. I've just managed to get my hands on another dream, a black IS200!

I traveled down to Manchester for it, and ****, it was worth it! It's never had any advisories, full service history, every 6 months from new from lexus, 59,000 miles on the clock and boy it's immaculate! It ain't the sport model, it's an SE, but no doubt I'll try source an LSD for it in the future!

For the last year I've been driving a 1.6 Zetec ford focus, so jumping to a 200 is an awesome step in my opinion. Got lots planned for it when i can afford it :)

I am part of Track and Street Grampian, one of the biggest car enthusiast groups in the North East and always trying my best to meet new people, so I'm looking forward to being part of LOC! Thanks!

Thanks! Very undecided between getting another set to fit the 200 or go with a nice set of black Rota Grids. Always wanted to have them! Haha

Ah, 400's are awesome! Only problem for me is insurance. Tends to go sky high for anything with more than 200bhp hahaa

I'm about to change my insurance...45 with loads of NBC and they are charging me £731 fully comp....dunno if we can slate insurance company's but mine rhymes with la viva!.....quick on line search dropped it to £300 or so....fair saving...

[SamBerry95]

Can't wait until the days of £300 for insurance! The fiesta my first year was £2600 fully comp, then £1600 for the focus fully comp after 6 months, and now down to £1100 with the is200 with a years no claims. Slowly going down! Haha

Hi Sam like you I have just bought a black Lexus IS 200 have had it 2 days and love it . I have had a van for 5 years due to me being self employed and before that I had a mondo zetec 1.8 which was a great car and the zetec engine is a good one but the 200 is a different league. I from the south berkshire. I like the wheels on yours are they a Lexus wheel regards glenn
