Thanks. I wondered about the tow bar, but thought this was less of a problem with an auto box. What is the worry with them? Xavier

Thanks for all the replies so far. I had a PM from a member here (jovie) offering me his car, so I've PMed him back asking for further details. I do like the black though, a pain to keep clean, but when it is, black looks the best.

Dear all, I've been lurking on the forum for a few months and I've picked up loads of useful info about these cars. I thought I ought to post now that my wife and I are seriously considering buying an IS. Does anybody have an opinion on the following car? Is it overpriced? http://www.sportsandprestigecentre.co.uk/used_car_lexus_is_saloon_744.htm We currently have a 2001 BMW 325ci, which goes beautifully. We test drove an IS 250 back in May and liked the look and interior. It didn't seem to handle as well as our BMW and the engine didn't feel as strong or make as good a sound. In the Lexus' favour, the auto box was smoother and everybody seems to have a BMW these days! Handling etc is not that important - we also have a Boxster for fun driving! We just want something refined with room in the back for friends and family and maybe kids in the next couple of years. Thanks in advance, Xavier
