in a nutshell,never trust a salesman.at the end of the day he has he's own interests at heart,and will do/say what he can to get a sale,harsh,but true. i imagine the px prices have fallen,but the screen price will have stayed the same,crafty,if the pre owned stocks are low then it cant be all bad,yet they use the excuses,when offering px prices.

thanks everyone for your input,lots of thinking to do now.

my minds made up on the se-l. for heated/ventilated seats,wood etc,oh and i want to find one with acc,as normal cruise is a waste of time imo,as you are always on off with,which is frustrating.

i would say so,the commute to work is a 60 mile round trip,about 36-40 miles of that is on the a2,then when im not at work its around town,a roads,etc,its auto aswell,and ive been driving carefully of late,to save a bit as im using the car every day for work,because some dirty scumbags stole my motor bike.

thanks mate,what do i do though,just contact lexus uk,and take it from there.

scarlet,thanks for that mate. a test drive will be needed,i can do without the hassle from the dealers sometimes though,always seem under pressure,with the gs,i only went in for a brochure and ended up having a test drive. oh and they offered me £16500,for mine,which is highly specced,i was gutted,as it cost £29500,in nov 06,so ill be looking at pre owned around 1-2 years old,im done with buying new now,ill let some one else take the loss.

thanks for the reply guys. so low to mid 30's then,depending on how i drive,i do poodle about nowadays so,should be ok. hows the seating position by the way,im 5.11 and sitting in my guv,s 220d,i seem a bit high up,ive not played around with it though,but the gs was similar.

thanks for the warm welcome,guys,feel part of the family already.

hello, im a new member,but without a lexus as yet,i have a e90 bmw 320d m-sport. i test drove the 450h a while back,and although nice ,still seems uneconomical,which moved me on to the is 250 auto(still to test drive though). for those that have drove both the bmw and is250,how do they compare,speed/power is'nt a major concern to me anymore,but refinement and ride are,also i have been reading the previous posts,but what is the average range from a tank of fuel,my bmw gives around 520 miles,im not going to get near that in a 250 auto,but an idea would be good. i think the IS is a lovely looking car with an interior to match,ths acc and ventilated seats will be a must. thanks guys.

hello,all. had to join,say hello. have an e90 bmw 320d m-sport,but been thinking of changing for a while,and have some questions regarding the is 250,ill go over to the relevant threads,to ask. this seems the best place to find out what i want,from a knowledgable and honest bunch.
