your have more fun driving the 250f than your 300 once you've got used to driving it in sport mode with the semi auto gear change in ect power mode and traction control turned off
had mine done last week @ lexus hedge end Southampton. they put £25 worth of fuel in the vehicle,gave it a good wash, and a loan car while the work was being carried out which was a rx 450h. very happy
I went from a is200 navigator (2005) which I had for 5 years to a is250f sport (2010) and all I can say is it out classes any other car in its catergory and it is a great drive with the auto 6 speed tiptronic/ paddle shifters. also I would personally go for one with the mark levison multi media pack
so in the real world as lexus say amazing in motion apart from the brakes lol . but on a serios subject they really do need to admit the fact that the brakes on a is 250 series is shocking and needs to be addresed
but apart from the brake problem its a georgeous car and well worth the investment.
I had a is 200 navigator before my 250f and apart from the brakes on that it was faultless just like my 250f
ive actually put brembo pads/discs/calipers on my f sport but they are of the single piston caliper/ with vented discs as are the lexus ones / which is 100% better than the lexus bog standard ones. you wont need the big set, your also be surprised @ the price of brembo if you do a little research. google is your friend
I also sourced mine from autotrader a year ago, paid 15k for it with 14.000mls flsh and the brakes were shot with just that mileage... oh yea forgot to mention.. if you do go for a is250 be prepared to change the brake parts quite regular :eg pads/discs/caliper/slider pins as the braking system on these cars are diabolical. changed all mine to brembo as used on the isf
