Glyn, haven't tried insurance via the forum so will give it a call in the morning, Thank You. Am on a blanket cover with work but not named as such and they won't supply a letter stating x amount of years driving with no claims made. The search continues...

Liking the tints, but not sure on the spoiler in black, may look better if in white? I didn't go for the protection pack as the black cover on the bumper within the pack breaks up the look of the back end if in a bright paint colour.

...so shopping around for insurance, in the spirit of not advertising, has anyone had any decent results with insurance cover? I am looking for comp cover, not too fussed about the excess level, but need to cover for business use at 20k miles PA with no NCB and a clean licence. Best I have got it down to so far is £1,062, which includes courtesy car, uninsured driver, legal cover to £100k and recovery. Incidentally, Lexus (Toyota) insurance for the same cover without any bolt ons comes in at £1.8k ! Won't be paying that. Pity, as the finance deal was pretty good with really low APR and £3k deposit between the dealer and finance company on top of my deposit. Thoughts?

Hi, I have been reading these forums since completing a test drive of the IS300h Advance, and having considered over the last year wether to buy a second hand IS220D for circa £10k; have finally taken the plunge and ordered a new IS300h. The forums have answered quite a bit that is not in the book or that you don't find until taking delivery, so these have been a great help as opposed to reading hybrid hating auto journo's reviews that don't give a good reflection of the marque or the technology. Looking forwards to taking delivery on 29th July - Advance in Sonic White with Black interior, timeless colours. Ready to get both decent mpg with a little work and win the competition of lowest MPG over a mile with the dicks at work..... As well as looking forwards to having a car that there are not a lot of about in my area - everyone seems to have a BMW or Merc. I am sure I will be chipping in on a fair few forums once I have taken delivery. S.
