Sounds like you have a nail in your tyre!

Rag it and it should do it in all gears!

His has a spoiler, It is a sport

This thread is nearly 5 years old ha

Consider yourself a VERY lucky man, and buy her a Fiesta Automatic! Cheers Lofty ha

What about the rear skirt? They dont half tidy the back end up

Its the VVTI Everybodys does it

So :shutit: What i said was i dont know about everyone else but i would put me off. I have just seen this car on Autotrader. It is really nice and stands out from other IS's. It is definately worth the money they are asking

Found this on RAC website:- Vehicle details Manufacturer LEXUS Model IS 300 AUTO Body type 4 DOOR SALOON Colour BLUE Fuel type PETROL Date manufactured 08 January 2002 Number of previous owners 4 Last owner change 02 September 2005 Look up another registration Enter vehicle registrationEnter vehicle registration L333 CUL If you buy this car it will have had 5 previous owners, i dont know about everyone else but that would put me off buying a car.

That search puts your location as something a tad more precise than "The North West" :P Im not that stupid mate, I put the postcode in for somewhere else i know :P

Click the link to Autotrader http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/cars_...rch_full=SEARCH Why is it so cheap I can see it is only a S but that is still really cheap!

My MR2 (jap import) had them on the right. Altezzas have them on the right too.

The least you could do is swap it after all that arguing i have done! Only joking dude! :winky:

All i am saying is that a 2 year old Foci is better than a 7 year old Lexus. I have said, i love my Lexus, but it definately is over-rated and all i am doing is trying to give advise. Thanks for backing me up a bit there! Your IS220d looks lovely BTW :D

Calm down lad, I did'nt want to start a argument anyway :D I was trying to help him out cos he asked for some advise. :winky: If you actually read it, it says : Lexus IS200/300 CLASS WINNER Rating 85.5% Overall Ranking 2nd Sorry Didnt read it properly, But again, I dont want to argue, i am just giving advise

Calm down lad, I did'nt want to start a argument anyway :D I was trying to help him out cos he asked for some advise. :winky: I thought the Honda S2000 won it? :P

Sorry, I dont want to start a argument but if i was him i would swap. I also thought that the JD survey was on cars that are 3 years old or newer. His lexus is 7 years old and it has 70k more than the focus. Looking at it long term it would be better. As for kit being comparable, as far as I know the ST170 doesn't have any of the following: Electric Seats Why would you need these anyway, once you are in your car you dont need to move your seat. In dash CD changer Has a CD changer in boot Auto lights If you cant remember to turn your lights on in the dark you shouldnt be on the road Straight six engine Sh*t on petrol, and not even quick, All it is good for is being smooth. Rear wheel drive Not very good on the IS in winter as we all know. Probably a few more things to add to that list... Lets see, Clutch problems, Gearbox notchy, Sh*t balljoints, Tracking needs doing every 6 months, New tires are needed every 20k, Sorry people but the list goes on, as much as i love my IS200, i just think that they are too over-rated.

An "outdated looking Lexus" will still turn more heads that a :tsktsk: Focus Bulls**t, ST170's are great cars, and they look the part. I know they are only a Ford, but isnt the Lexus just a posh Toyota? Everything a IS200 has in it, a ST170 has in it.

Newer car, less miles, better performance, looks different from the usual focus, cheaper to fix. What more do you want, do it. :winky: In 1 years time when your car has 100k on it and you are taking it for its major service, you will regret it once you see the bill Lexus give you. Sorry guys but IS200's are starting to look a little outdated now anyways. :o

Are you talking about a IS200 or the new IS?

Im 20 I bought my Is200 when i was 19

To be honest mate, the dashboard in the first picture looks a bit discoloured anyway.

In the middle of the back window

I had the same problem and thought that i needed new pads, but it turned out to be that i needed a new bulb for my 3rd brake light. Check you brake lights!

What happened with the bumper?
