  1. My wife has decided that the IS200 has to go. It is costing too much money and is not getting used enough. We want to sell it and pay off our loan then buy a cheaper car. Where would be the best place to sell an 03 Is200 , exchange and mart ? , sell back to a dealer , or a car mag or any other suggestions. I would imagine most people would prefer to buy such a new car from a dealer so privatly might be a problem ? Cheers
  2. One of my wheels is totally mashed. How much would it cost to get it sorted and is there a mobile unit that do them like chipsaway etc. Cheers Thanks for your help
  3. My Wife has decided that her IS200 is too big and fuel hungry for her and wants to down size to something a lot smaller and a lot cheaper. What would be the best way to sell this car ? Lexus Dealer,Private Sale or trade it in at the garage where we buy the new car ( the new car will cost less than the Lexus is worth ) Her car is a 03 Black IS200 Sport with no Sat nav or parking sensors. It has done 11000 miles and has just had its first service. Any estimate on price I should be looking for would be appreciated. Cheers
  4. its a 2003 black IS200 Sport. I have a feeling it will need a new bumper as it seems to have snapped the plastic ? brackets at the top.
  5. I was letting a big old volvo out of Asda today and he just drove straight through the corner of my car. The body work has a slight scratch through to the metal but does not seem to be out of shape. The bumper however is now hanging loose between the wheel arch and beneath the headlight. The old boy has given me his number and has said he will sort me out, but I fear the cost will be more than he is bargining for !!. My questions are as follows, can I get a qoute from lexus first and see if he will pay without the insurance companys getting involved or do we need to inform them that we have had an accident but might be settling without there help. ( I have said I will give him a call after Xmas ) Also any rough idea as to if I will need a new bumper or can they be fixed and rough costs. Cheers for any help you can give me. Ross
  6. The dreaded words finally arrived and I went to inspect the damage. Front nearside lightly scraped on the curb ( DOHH ) . Any advice on the best way to protect the damage to prevent corrosion. Cheers
  7. who hates the boot on my IS200. I have only had my 200 a few weeks , but one thing is really winding me up. Whenever I put anything bigger than a shoe box in the boot the hinges hit it and the boot wont close !!. ARHHHHH java script:emoticon(':yack:')
  8. I feel better now I know I am not the only one with this problem . I am still a little worried though. I rewashed the car and leathered it , but today I noticed that I could still see the outlines of the old water marks everywhere except the glass, they are even on the sunroof. I cant wait till my car is a few months old and I am not totally paronoid about every fly that hits the car !!
  9. I cleaned my new is200 sport yesterday using turtle wax wash and wax and then rinsed it it off with a hose. I did not have a leather so just let it dry . The drops of water dried into a horrible white marks. They did not just rub off. I had to wash it again with just plain water and then I leathered it and got rid of most of the marks. Any ideas what could have caused this ? could it be the chalky water in my area or is turtle wax totally rubbish ? Ross ps being astral black probably does not help !
  10. I have a three day old is200 sport and when the car is in 2nd and 4th their is an annoying rattle that is pretty loud. What level of rattle noise is acceptable from a three day old car and is there a quick fix for this. Cheers Ross
  11. I have just picked up my new 200 sport and have noticed an annoying rattle coming from the gear stick when it is in 4th. All other gears are fine. Any Ideas for curing this little problem. Ross And not using it is not an option !!!
  12. I am picking up my new Astral black Is200 Sport tomorrow, and although it is not my first new car it is the first one that is not a company car . So I am actually going to look after this one !. Is the best way to keep it clean to use good old fashioned muscle power or could I get away with putting it through the car wash ? Also when do I need to start waxing it , will the new gleam stay a while or will I have to get on the case early ? Cheers
  13. It looks like a manhole size hole to me . Definately find out why they are digging there and take them for every penny you can !! Good Luck !
  14. I will be picking up my first Lexus in a couple of weeks time. A black IS200 sport with the black leather interior ( wanted biege but could not wait till July ! ) . I was wondering how I go about adding a picture of the car as my personal icon and also how I go about adding pictures to my posts. Thanks in advance Ross ps . This forum was essential in helping me decide I wanted a Lexus, I am already boring the wife by saying "Lexus" everytime we pass one in the car.
