Very nice car! I have had same model and year for just over a month and already love it dearly! Not getting as much as 38mpg on my daily commute, more like 31! Unfortunately when I had the car less than 2 weeks a gentleman in a Range Rover ran into the back of me in a filling station causing about £1300 of damage. All fixed now thanks to the lovely people at Eastern Western Broxburn. While car was off the road I had a 2012 Merc C220D. Nice but nowhere near as nice to drive or be in as "Lexie"

I have had my 08 IS250 SE-L for a few weeks and love it, Only one thing is annoying me. If I forget to put the car into Park before opening the door then warning and chimes ensue, which is fair enough. The only way I've found to cancel it is to start the engine again, put in park then switch off - a bit embarrassing in the office underground car park.

There has to be a better way! Can any member help?

Thanks

Thanks guys

I think I'm going to go for the warranty - 2 years peace of mind for a pound a day - you're spot on Stuart - why wouldn't I. Obviously that means I'll be going for the service plan too

Cheers

Thanks Noo bie

Didn't think 4000 miles per year was that low? One thing that terrified me from your reply was £2700 for exhaust! Does anyone know if this is covered by Lexus Warranty??

Oil was changed at service - but I am planning to have another service done

Hi everyone I have just bought a low mileage (24k miles) IS250 SE-L on a 08 plate from a non Lexus dealer. Very pleased with the car so far. After 4 Lexus services the car had 2 non franchise services and certainly not the 6 year major . Lexus have offered to welcome it back into the fold with:

• A 2 year Essential Careplan covering 2 services and 2 MOTs for £550
• A 2 year Lexus Extended Warranty for £795

In addition they initially suggested a major service as car is 6 years old but I balked at over £700! They have now suggested that I can have the plugs done on top of a careplan service for an extra £200

Balancing all this against a quote from a well respected independant of £295 for a major.

I'm thinking getting back on warranty makes it worth going for the Lexus careplan

Would welcome members' thoughts

Thanks
