No I'm sure that's not how it usually is but I've had to do all the chasing for this deal and it's not what I expected. I also looked at Audi & BMW cars and although the cars were not as impressive the service from the dealers was first class.

Well still havent got my Lexus. Dealer said he would ring me Monday afternoon and I'm still waiting for a phone call. Seems he doesnt want to sell me a car. Not impressed at all. If this is what it's like when I'm trying to buy a car imagine how bad the service would be if I had a problem.

Ah yes I was gutted when I went back to complete the deal and the car was sitting there with sold on it but the car the dealer has since found is a better colour in my opinion, silver, and less miles so it's all good hopefully. All he needs to do is offer me a decent part exchange price and we are there.

Yeah I was very tempted with the 300. After reading on here it would seem the 200 will only do 20ish mpg and the 300 is probably hardly any worse but 90% of our driving is town driving so decided against the 300. Was also much harder to find a nice 300 in my price range in the Lexus network. I want a mint car so would rather have a nice 200 than a slightly ropey 300.

Hi Guys & Gals After years of owning normal cars, mostly Seats & VWs, I've decided to treat myself to a quality motor. Tried the usual German cars and was not impressed at all and then stumbled into my local Lexus dealer and drove a IS300 Sportcross and a IS200 saloon. Wow. To say I was impressed with everything about the car would be a understatement. Finally decided to buy a 200 saloon as the 300 will just be too thirsty for me. Went back to the dealer to buy the car and it was sold. :tsktsk: He's found me another one though so just trying to complete a deal this afternoon. Can I just say how helpful all the info on the site has been. It all makes great reading. Thanks Lee
