Picked up an 51 plate (2002) model about a month ago and I very much regret it. The build quality is S*it. My 2000 model was much better quality

Has the dearler not got any records of jobs done on the car???? I will think twice as resale can be a problem

No need to disconnect the reverse audi. You can still hear the parking sensors if you fit them

Happened to me twice. Local Dealer sorted it out for £65. Get parking sensors. Much cheaper than a replacement bumper

Agree. Pick one up a week ago and had to take it back. Car pulls to oneside, Boot lid does not open from inside, gear knob peels off and sticks in my palm

Yes you can. Based on the mileage and if you have a full Lexus service history, it's not a problem. Read Every car in the Lexus range is so comprehensively equipped that the 'on the road' price includes not only all those items generally offered as extras, but also many advanced features exclusive to Lexus. Details of the extensive technical specifications and interior appointments of each model are fully described in the main brochures. Whichever model you choose, you can look forward to a standard of after-sales service that's second to none, provided by a network of Lexus Centres individually selected for their exemplary record in customer care. For your peace of mind, every Lexus is covered for up to three years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first) against any mechanical or paintwork failure attributable to manufacturing or assembly defects. Both of these are free of charge. Full details are given in the Warranty booklet supplied with each new vehicle. If you wish, you can also have the additional protection of a Lexus Extended Warranty annually until your Lexus is seven years old, and has reached 140,000 miles. New vehicle warranty up to 60,000 miles in 3 years: Free 12 month unlimited* mileage extended warranty: £530.00 * vehicles must be less than seven years old (six years for a 24 month warranty) and have covered less than 140,000 miles to qualify for the extended cover. An extended warranty taken out during the three years' manufacturer warranty provides unlimited mileage cover for the three years as well as the additional 12 or 24 month extension.

I spoke to the dealer and they said they cannot adjust the sensitivity of the light. That is bullocks. With the radio, I have tried it with both the TA and non TA on the display. Rgds

Guys, I picked up an 02 Plate car over the weekend and to my horror the auto headlights works in broad day light. If I am listening to a preset radio stn and I change to another preset station, there is a 2-3 minute delay. Is this normal? I don't think so....... Does anyone know a fix for these annoying niggly problems or am I expecting too much?

I would check a/ the CD changer b/ Ball Joints c/ Corroded alloys d/ Water pump. Check if you have a full Lexus SH

I had a W plate IS200 and the new one feels like it will start falling apart in the next two years

Picked an 02 plate IS 200 on Saturday and the build quality is not the same as the early models. Interior looks cheap Japanesse plastic. Boot lid feels like a plastic rather than a metal. Anyone noticed that?

Similar service with Lexus Croydon and and I paid £135 for 30K service

Try a different dealer

Turned the deal down and now the salesman has offered to give me free mats and also fix 4 parking sensors. Happy man........

Picking up an IS on Saturday but dealer want's me to pay £100 for a set of 4 mats. Is this normal? My pervious IS came with a mat. Should I take out the ones in my current IS?

I am picking up an IS with a cream and Black interior on Saturday. What colour floor mats should I go for? Black or cream? Thanks

Hmm.. This is a tricky one but speak to a financial expect and see what they suggest. There is always a way round.

Thanks folks. May be the 300 then. What is the consumption like on the 300?

Check the wheels first because they kurb-damaged mine on one occasion and ended changing all four alloys.

I am considering part ex my current IS 200 SE Manual for an 02/2002 model. This time I am going for the auto with the SAT NAV. What do I have to look out for? I am buying from Lexus Woodford. How good is their service in general? Is this a wise move?

Reversed into a tree last week and have cracked one of my tail lights. can is Black and would ideally want to have a the new smoked ones. Where can I find a lexus breaker? I live in the London area.

I have had a few jobs done there and cannot complain

get the ball joints fixed elsewhere

Go to http://www.lexus.co.uk/approved.php?area=search and do a search for a match of your cars's spec. Add a few more quid and sell privately

Local dealer has sent a 40K service reminder but unfortunately the car has 38K on the clock. Q. Shoud I do the 40K service now since it's a year ago the car was last serviced or wait for the mileage to hit 40K?
