Hi guys thank you for the warm welcome.
My IS has had a full service history looking at the log it shows official lexus stamps as far as 30k miles, then another garage takes up the rest of the log.
I paid £3400 for mine including delivery ( I did travel to view it first ;) ) , 6 months tax and 12 month MOT. It would appear the first owner only had it a couple of years then the 2nd owner had it until he traded it in at the place I bought it in Devon. It is in very good condition minus some small chips, as said I'm off to Lexus Poole in the next couple of days to pick up some touch up paint. I think it was Andy who I spoke to on the phone he was very helpful.
Good to hear its got iridium’s as standard, looks like I got a bit of saving up to do as the belts will need changing at 60k too.
I have had a good chance to get used to driving it now. I feel like I am finally at one with the clutch, its taken me this good time to get out of the ford focus habits. I did have a couple of niggles like gator squeak but just looking around these forums I found all the info I needed to sort them myself.
We have had a bit of snow down here in Weymouth and the IS has handled it quite well to be honest I just drove carefully and slow and the snow mode seemed to do the rest. A heavier snow situation might be a different story but we've been able to keep mobile for the time being.
