Are the Lexus ones supplied as just the rubber or the complete replacement part?

Thanks guys do you have links for both of these?

So my IS250 just sailed through its MOT at Lexus Poole yesterday. Got 1 advisory for the wiper blades and planned on changing these soon anyway. Any recommendations for this car? Is it best to go genuine or not?

What an excellent results - very impressive! Looking forward to giving mine a good run and seeing what is achievable. Normally I only average around 25mpg around town although after a decent run (about 1 hour 15 each way) the other day, my tank mpg was up to 36.

Sounds like a nice car, looking forward to seeing some photos!

Congratulations on the purchase and a nice write up :)

When I purchased my IS250 from a dealer, I was advised that the Lexus minimum for approved pre owned was 6 months MOT and 3mm on the tyres. Can you guess what mine came with? That's right... 6 months MOT and 3mm on the tyres

I've had my 57 plate SE-L auto multimedia for around 6 months now, after changing from a Focus ST. I absolutely love the car and can't fault it at all so far. I got mine from a Lexus dealership for peace of mind with the warranty etc. I would have preferred a facelift if push came to shove, but at the time the best deal I could get on an equivalent facelift from a dealer would have cost me around 3K more. The car was 1 year newer (58 plate) and as Normski pointed out, I would have added a USB port, bluetooth audi and indicators in the mirrors. These were things that would be nice to have but were not a deal breaker and certainly not for 3K difference, especially when I thought I was getting such a good deal on this one. With a 15K budget however you should easily be able to pick out a stunning facelift from a dealer and probably receive change so I would definitely go facelift in your position. :D These two look rather nice at the moment: http://usedcars.lexus.co.uk/used-IS/IS-250/2.5-SE-L/Woodford-Green/1760689-604572235-1607027.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_ http://usedcars.lexus.co.uk/used-IS/IS-250/2.5-SE-L/Bristol/1760689-604581768-1607058.aspx?srcmdc=se_na_re_

Congratulations on the new car! Post some photos up B)

Thanks Normski very informative B)

Yes it is a little hard to keep clean, but looks great when it is. There's a slight blue sparkle to it when you catch it in certain lights :)

Thanks Philip :)

Sounds like it should be covered under the extended warranty surely? I will be watching this thread with interest!

Looks like it's actually called Cadoxtan Slate

Thanks Philip, I will take a look when I get home. I wasn't sure if someone maybe had a list to hand.

I'm trying to find the paint code for my gen 2 IS250. I believe mine is called "Mercury Grey"? Am I correct in saying this was the only grey available for the gen 2 IS? Tried to use the search function to see if someone already had a list with all the codes but no luck. Can anyone help?

I have all of this (electric seats, steering wheel, memory, ML audio etc) on my 2007 MK2 IS250, but I hunted down a top spec one (used)

Hi Alan welcome. Great choice on the car. I currently have the MK2 IS250 so a little different but I really like the Ivory leather with a dark car (mine is Mercury Grey with Ivory leather). Also I have Android but I believe there is an iPhone app available.

What a lot of car for the money!

1993 K Peugeot 106 XND (seriously slow but really cheap to run for a first car) 2004 04 Ford Focus 1.8 zee 3rd (had this for over 4 years not a bad car but got bored of it at the end) 2008 08 Ford Focus 2.5 ST-3 (awesome car, sad to see this go, had it running around 260bhp/300Ib Ft too) 2007 57 Lexus IS250 auto SE-L MM (bought earlier this year and love it so far) 2007 57 Smart Fortwo 84bhp turbo (the Wife's car though I drive it fairly regularly) The Wife has also had a few other (some not so great) cars including a 206, clip and corsa.

How much are these? I didn't realise you could buy them separately.

The general consensus is the IS250 auto is the way to go. Cheaper tax than the manual too. I have one and the auto box/engine combo is sublime.

Sounds lovely I've had mine for a few months now and love it! Post some photos up!

I wouldn't mind this beep but I'm guessing it can't be done in the UK then?

Looks lovely Colin, wouldn't mind a future upgrade to an IS300h myself!
