Don't see how the garage could be liable if you chose to ignore their advice. They would be liable if they discovered a problem and didn't inform you of it. It you accepted the finding but chose to ignore it then that would be your fault.

Does sound like the garage were overzealous

Only joking...so what made you choose the IS300 then?

I have a Toyota Celica at the mo which has been cheap to run, great to drive and very reliable. When I started looking for another car I didn't want anything that was less reliable. Looking at things like the JD Power survey there were only 6 cars above mine, the Lexus was one.

I was generally looking for a car that was more executive with a smoother ride and more power. The test drive was great and I was very impressed with the speed of changes of the auto box, better than the other marques I drove. So all in all it was comfortable, fast, looks good and hopefully will be reliable, nuff said !

Been keeping an eye out on here as I was in the market for a new car. After test driving the BMW 325Ci, Saab 9-3Aero, Audi 1.8T Sline and the Lexus, I have opted for the Lexus. So hopefully on Friday I will be picking up my IS300. As with my previous round of test drives when I opted for my current car, the Lexus was the one that had that little bit of XFactor that put a smile on my face.
