no_BMW///M5_offense

yes let mock saddam all

also check for chips in painjob, as this is a common issue on the used ones. Else from that, have a good drive! hazmatrazz

Seriously though, check out exactly what your warranty covers. If it seems as if it wont cover it, cuz its been too long over the warranty etc..you should still have the dealer you bought it from pay your extra costs. Cuz brk dsks aint wear and tear! They shouldnt break after only 18K!!!!! Also, go on the web, check out your rights legally...I did this when I needed to get my new car fixed, checked the right paragraph (!) and smacked that in my c****llers face! (They ended up paying for it all....) HazMaytrazz

the fart one was good, cuz I was staring close to the monitor and the speakers on full ... squirt hazmatr

UK Pulse yes, Lexus does offer more of that extra ***** youll have to pay big bucks for at BMW, Merc Audi etc .. By doing that, Lexus ensures alot of notsureigIshouldbuyit that they will go for a Lex! Its a no-brainer, really.. My brother (we both just got reg. on this site) is buying that same type of car you were talking about, the car that has been lent out to people that has their Lex on service..and its only two yrs. old, white pearl, and hes getting it $10.000 cheaper than what the normal 01 mods. go for.... (Partly cuz I have a close frined that works at Lexus, Norway) We took it out for a spin, and it was fab!!!!! He fell in love, (1.st time driving a Lexus) and was keener than before he heard the price..... HazMatrazz

you brits know how to put it

kev dood is that you rcar theres a pic of on the left? hazmatRazz

yeah, it didnt look like it had been thrown off the road or anything.....with the roff downed that much.. boyhazz

and why is that, may I ask? hazmatraz

Gutted! I am well jealous! Not sure my company will be too bothered as they give me a car allowance of £6k a year and it's up to me what i do with it. I was honestly so surprised how much I liked it. What a beast - can we resurrect the 'we want an IS430' petition?! sweet....an IS430 would blow most competitors Id say... haz

rgiblin go to http://lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.p...ST&f=50&t=5268& and write up how much you gave for it etc...!!! HazMatrazz

Here is the rest of the avaliable Is's IS300 Sedan NOK: 589.900 / 74,949 EURO IS200 SportCross NOK: 359.900 / 45,726 EURO IS300 SportCross NOK 619.900 / 78,646 EURO An SC430 NOK 1.275.000 / 161,994 EURO just to set the standard HazMatrazz

Bloo(D?)fire Was it the reg. sedan or the sportcross? My friend works at our local Lexus dealer, and we've driven the IS300 SportCross quite a bit, and it is a staggering differense from the IS200, comparing the power-I think. The only q is will your job be willing to jump from an IS 200 to an IS300??!! :) If they do, youve work for the nicest people B) Q: Has the new seasonof Top Gear begun yet? Here in Norway, theyre sooo late... Haz

Leexus Smooth! Nice to know that the price you pay for a new Is200 is the same as a '01 model over here................ ;) In Norway, an IS200 starts at 44,456 EURO ... ..and this is how our prime minister looks like, if you were wondering ... :hohoho: C'mon all you others! Tell us how much you gave for your Lex, or would have to give for one at your Lexus dealer. hazmatrazz

Although I dont own a Lexus of my own, its always interesting to compare the prices for the different editions around the world. (I know there are loads of different countries represented that are members here) So; how much does a Lex cost in you country? (Specify yr, edt, extras etc..) This should be fun! (I bet my country ((Norway))(((left of Sweden))) will turn out the most expensive one buy a Lex, or any car...this because of the fees and taxes are sooo high its crazy..) Haz

Hey! Nice price! If Id have the cash, Id be headed to my nearest Lex dealer fpr that price Nice to have another Beemer-fan up in here P out

Yes, that would have been the usual dircetion, so I apologize. To respond to what you wrote, Id say Im surprised to learn that Lexus (or the IS200 atleast) dont have that many options on tuning the engine. Im sure, so Ive been told by my bud Nils at our local authorized Lexus dealer, the compressor you mentioned would do the trick. approx 50 more ponnies would make a difference. The deal with the unique Lexus standard pack on your new car, as far as extra equipment goes, you must cash out quite a few dollars to meet Lexus standard at BMW or Merc-indeed. Lexus handling and the rise after 4500 rpm. stunns me, being a Beemer fan deluxe... Though one could wish that BMW would deliver the same quality on the whole car, the guarantee and such......But Mercs dont interest me at all, a dull machinery dont be rolling around in....take the enigine sound, or maybe catscream is more suitable My fav Lex would be the IS300 sportcross, as this is the fastest one of their collection Ive driven so far. Looks good too, but looks are well for Afla Romeos edition :arrrggg-matey: So, I hope Ive turned your grin downside up and peace out to you GRIM (My interest in posting our msg. and reply, was for hybrIS200 is my bro'- and I wanted him to see it) HS

((I thought I was replying on a post in this topic, but sent a private msg. to Grim...My bad-I new...but I thought Id post it as a reply here now...copy and paste :) ) Hi And thanks for the question. I'll answer your first question on the TTE compressor. Unfortunately the IS200 has a limited amount of upgrades available. For example there is NO Turbocharger upgrade available yet. So upgrading the IS200 is very limited and expensive. With regard to the traditional route, this can improve performance a little, but as I said, there are a limited amount of upgrades available for the IS. On an standard normally aspirated IS200, a proven product like the HKS Hiper Muffler exhaust will provide an increase of approximately 8 BHP. An air filter such as the HKS superflow will add only about 2 BHP to that. However, when it comes to chipping the IS200, unlike other cars, there is no chip upgrade that will give you any sort of performance boost without a complete engine remap. And even with a remap, which requires a rolling road test and computer analysis, this will only provide a 6 - 8 BHP improvement. So, even with a replacement Exhaust, an air filter and a remapped ECU chip, you would only get approx 18 - 20 BHP improvement. Because of the limited range of upgrades, these upgrades tends to cost a lot too. So you could be £2000 out of pocket and only have a 20 BHP improvement. The TTE compressor offers a proven increase of 50 BHP over the standard car. And as it improves the aspiration of the car, when you further add the air filter, HKS exhaust and the remapped chip, you get an extra additional benefit from these too. For example the air filter adds approx 4 BHP to a TTE Compressor, rather than the 2 BHP on the normally aspirated car. The exhaust, about 12 BHP and the chip 16 BHP. Each upgrade component is improved further because of the benefit the TTE Compressor adds. If money is limited, then your only choice is to got the traditional route, I.e. an exhaust and airfliter. But I would NOT go the expense of chipping and remapping a normally aspirated car because, it's very expensive and the little net gain. Especially when you consider if you do upgrade to a TTE compressor, you would need to pay for the remapping again to get the benefit of the chip on the TTE Compressor. With regard to the IS300, yes your right. There is less of them on the road. But I have seen a few. I guess the extra purchase and running costs, limited the amount of buyers too. Many thanks for your interest in Lexus. I think you'll find the build quality to be similar on the Lexus as on the BMW/Merc. What you will find better though, is the amount of extras on the Lexus that are included as standard, that cost extra on a BMW/Merc. It all boils down to taste, and what you want to spend your money on, but what ever you decide to buy, enjoy your car. rgds GRiM

I read your post on "hybrIS200" quote on mods for his future 01' IS200, and I must say you own a stunning piece of autokraft mein freund But would you really say a comp would be the only way to haul out a few extra ponnies? What about your traditional methods for your other "regular" cars, like chipping, airfilter, exhaust and so on ...? The IS300 is no choice for the man of some economical sense, compared with the IS200 regarding the extra costs. At least in Norway where your choice in level of engine will surely decide which one to get. Its madness the taxfees in this country... But how rare would you say the IS300 (sedan) is compared to the IS200 around where you live? You dont see em around here, thats for damn sure, though it'd have to be an IS300 SportCross.. Sorry all for the nick, but my heart belongs to the German build car ...
