Hello Ian, Thanks for all the positive comments...she's having a bit of paint work to a few slight scratches on the front bumper plus all the alloys are being refurbed. There only slightly scuffed but being that the BMW dealership offered we excepted :) Yes, we can't wait for Friday. Be able to take some decent picts then too. We are based between Harlow & Waltham Abbey & hope to be able to meet up with some fellow Lexus members soon. I'm sure once we start looking at some of the cars we will get the old Modding bug back again !!! Some of the cars we've seen on this site look stunning - a credit to their owners ;)

Hello again to All................well after a lot of searching & seeing the usual so called mint cars plus an SE that according to the seller was now a Sport as he had added the 18 " rims & bumpers !...We have finally found our new addition. An 03 plate Blue IS200 Sport with the factory kit including 18" rims, 42,000 miles & full Lexus Service History. We pick her up Friday but untill then here is a photo to introduce her to you all :winky: We will post some better snaps just as soon as we can, Sue & Jason.

Hello again to All & a big thanks for all the photo's/advice & knowlegde you have given us :winky: We went to see the car in the flesh & as so often happens once seen close up the paintwork/interior was in a bit of a sorry state although the engine sounded great.......didn't get that buy it feeling so we walked away ! But on the up side we did get a test drive & liked the engine/sound ! So we will keep looking, as you say there is a few sports around so we are in no hurry to buy untill the right car comes up. We will keep you posted & will be posting some photo's as soon as the new addition is found :winky: Sue & Jason

Hello to All & Thanks for the tips. We are going to look at a sport today..it looks good on paper we're just have to wait & see what it looks like in the flesh ! Wish us Luck :winky:

Hello & thanks to All who have answered this post so far. Yes, we are ware of the Tax Increase....all help/advice is greatly appreciated. We'd rather look at the cars knowing what to look for then go & not have a clue. Realy don't want to buy a shed/wannabe ! Thanks again & keep the knowledge comming, Sue & Jason :winky: :winky:

Thanks, thats a great help already. Anything else that anyone can add would be greatly appreciated. With the car market in such a mess at the moment re prices can anyone give us an idea as to what we should be looking to pay for a IS200 Sport years 02 - 04 with average mileage for it's year. Thanks again :winky:

Hello to All, As you have probably already guessed we are new to the forum. We are looking to buy a IS200 Sport but have noticed some seem to come with a Styling Kit. Can anyone tell us if this was an optional extra & if so what extra parts should we be looking for when viewing the car ? We have noticed that some come with a slightly different bumper & different Alloys but again is this part of the styling pack or an optional extra. Many Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this subject & apologies if this is a dumb question but we have only recently started looking. :winky: Sue & Jason
