Good evening everyone,

I am in a similar position to Oily except I am looking for an IS200

There maybe one I have found but were it not for the comprehensive list of areas to look at thankfully provided on the forum I would have been going in blind.

The car is over 10 years old with a mileage of 50.000. The owner had confirmed it will need a new timing belt and is looking for around £2500.

Not knowing what good looks like is my greatest concern but if the forum tips are all ok what should I be paying for a car of this age.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Regards

Dave

I am going to look at an IS200 this weekend.

The timing belt has not been replaced but the car has only done 44500 miles. It also has a full service history - albeit partially not through a Lexus dealer

Allowing £500 for the timing belt and with the comprehensive list of what I should look out for from the forms, can anybody give me some idea of what I should be paying.

Thanks in anticipation

I am going to look at a 2004 IS200 Sport this weekend.

The timing belt has not been replaced but the car has only done 44500 miles. It also has a full service history - albeit partially not through a Lexus dealer.The seller is a private individual and the car condition is allegedly excellent (aren't they all)

Allowing £500 to £600 for the timing belt and with the comprehensive list of what I should look out for from the forms, can anybody give me some idea of what I should be paying.

Thanks in anticipation

Dave
