Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm getting a 2010 for the USB as quite a big reason, might sound silly but I listen to most of my music in the car. I'll factor in the calipers too, I know a decent indy near me. I'd probably get them refurbed from Lepsons who are quite near me and are excellent. RE the exhaust you never know! I've read so many threads about the aftermarket ones droning etc, so if I did get the Tanabe I hope it's decent. Definitely taken my time so far, so fingers crossed. Great, appreciate that. In regards to the extended warranty, what's the criteria? £895 isn't bad if it covers a lot of things, I'd like to see the list of inclusions/exclusions. I remember I had an extended warranty on a Z4 coupe I had, which was about £40 a month. The only condition was that the vehicle had to have been serviced by BMW only at the correct intervals.

Hi all, I've been browsing the site for a little while and I'm currently looking at purchasing a 2010 Lexus IS250 F-Sport. I've had mostly Honda's and have always liked Lexus but haven't been able to afford one. I've had a good read of this thread - http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/108747-what-to-look-out-for-lexus-is250-2007-model-year/ Were any of these issues fixed in a later 2010 model that I'm looking at possibly? Or was it an exhaustive list for this model, regardless of the year? The only other thing I'm factoring in is the alloy wheel refurbishment which seems inevitable and also the exhaust which would be replaced by a Tanabe exhaust I think as the standard replacement is so expensive. Any other advice apart from what I've read in that thread? The car I'm looking at buying has full Lexus History and has under 50k mileage. I would look to carry on the Lexus servicing as it appears as though they have fixed price servicing. Thanks,
