The LED lights do dim when the head lights come on and do replace the side lights, they do not dim down when the indicators are used.

Thats 1 of the reasons we changed our car, we had a 56 plate 250 SE manual and the tax was £460. Just been and checked the car tax and we paid £250 at the end of Nov for a 250 advance auto 12 reg.

I think I am correct in saying the road tax on a 55 plate IS 250 is around £460 if it is a manual box, only £250 ish if it is an auto.

I always park away from the entrance but everybody still manages to park around me by the time I get back to the car. This is the first auto I have had, don't know why my last 2 lexus were manual.

Nice pictures, great car, enjoy

I have not missed the mark levinson because like you say the standard audio is that good, only used the dvd about 3 times in the other car, we do miss the sun roof we always had it tilted open

Changed my car from a 56 IS 250 se black mm and sun roof to a IS 250 advance in arctic pearl it was 4 month old when we got it with just over 3000 miles on the clock. Love the car old 1 was manual this 1 is an auto it is so much nicer to drive, don't know why we didn't have an auto sooner. Just 1 thing that is disappointing is that there is no option to have a sunroof, I know its got aircon but we still liked the sunroof. Im going to try and post a picture hope it works.

just check that px wheels in blackpool are still trading, I've bin told they've closed
I've had two alloys straightened and refurbed and they're as good as new, can't say it works for everyone but I was very happy with mine.In terms of alloys, you sound like you prefer the OEM look, in which case I'd look to get yours refurbed, or get another set of Lexus alloys off ebay or similar. Might even get a set of tyres included and save yourself a bit.
Update DVD are a bit cheaper HERE
Welcome to LOC btw :)
Thank you for the welcome and helpful reply. It's given me some reassurance about refurbs.
Out of interest Lexus would charge £464 per wheel for replacements.
The DVD link is useful too.
>>> Any thoughts on tyres - another mystery area for me - is there a value compromise?

I have the same problem, I have a 53 is200 with 45000 miles and aero pack 2 and was offered £5000 but managed to push him to £5500.
it was a 07 is250se auto 9000 miles I looked at for £18495, nice car but no chance!
tried quite a few garages and it seems thats all my car is worth, but good luck and hope you find a deal that you are happy with, don't think I will.
I changed my Y REG IS 200 sport with aero pack last October it had 47000 miles on it, for an IS 250 SE multi media and sun roof 56 plate. They offered me £6000 but managed to push them to £7000 in the end. The IS 250 was £22500 so dont think I got a bad deal.

Oh and another thing
Both my wing mirrors are sort of 'stained'. Really noticable at night with rear lights reflecting on them.
It looked to me as if the heating elements were damaging the mirror from the rear. Lexus garage seemed to agree, but had never seen the problem before. So they have send some pics to Lexus GB to get authority to fix it.
Anyone else had similar?
Other than that, the car is great - 33mpg!!
I have a 56 plate IS 250 had it nearly 12 months, and both wing mirrors are stained. Not really used the heating elements so dont know what it could be, but will have it looked at at the next service.

Hi all, been a member on this site for about six months now but never plucked up the courage to post anything till now. I had an 01 IS sport with styling kit until October when I changed it for an IS250 se mm sr in black with oakham leather. Will post some pictures when I work out how to do it !!!
Just a quick question has any body managed to send their contacts from a Nokia 6500 classic to their mm phone setup, thanks.
Thanks for the welcome guys.

What colour is everyones Engine Cover? the cover that says V6 on it. On most photos i've seen online, it seems it is silver. But mine is black. Just wondering if there is a reason for this.
Mines black too!

Posted
Both our key fob batteries have been getting weaker for weeks till 1 of them would not lock or unlock the car but would still start it. we live in Blackpool and use Lexus Stockport for servicing etc. we gave Gino the service manager a call and he posted 2 out to us. Great service yet again from them.
