So after all the enquiries... where is the best place to get an Altezza from... private sale or trade with a warranty... I don't think my car knowledge will stretch to discover all the faults in a private sale, maybe I could get an inspection done or take my mechanic with me... What can I pick up for around 10k - 12k... Is an RS200 with a 6 speed gear shift possible. My garage who currently service my WRX will service the Altezza happily; pending all the the parts are readily available to them at various suppliers... Also, what're the differences between the standard RS200, the L and Z editions please...

From all the discussion so far in my other recent posts, my decision between the IS200 UK and the Altezza will be based on the running of things i.e. servicing andsourcing parts etc... I guess there is no point having a nice car and its difficult to get parts etc for... Which leads me on to my next question; will a lexus dealer be happy to service an Altezza or I guess the people who service my WRX will also be able to do this. Will parts for when servicing be avaiable in the UK as standard as the Altezza is a Jap car. I am based in South London, anyone else who owns an Altezza, where do you get your servicing and parts from if you do not mind me asking. It's just that I think its good to get this established before I spend thousands on a car... Thanks in advance

Thank you so much everyone who has answered all my queries so far as a new comer. I was wondering whether there is a UK comapny the provides a warranty for Altezza models from Japan. I've never had a tiptronic gear box either, are they reliable... what if they break down, they must be expensive (pardon the ignorance, are these in the Altezza models or a standard 6 gears) Also, is the interior, atleast the seating... pleasant... I understand there is no leather... Am I wrong??? Thanks in advance

Please read the following discussion in the following link... http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?...ThreadID=205619 I would very much appreciate the advice I receive in choosing the better vehicle Thanks in advance

I'm contiplating either or the IS200 UK or Altezza (Jap) I have a 95' WRX Jap Import at the moment (260BHP classic shape) and thinking of the next car... I know they don't compare before anyone replies (they're both in a league of their own). Any tips, advice... I'm thinking along the lines of servicing, parts, looking after and re-sale. Any advice on what to go for and why...
