Offered 2 thousand with knowledge of the broken gearbox and the 19 days MOT left. Gave me 1400 due to bodywork being a grade 4 out of 8. Sorry for late reply I've only just got around to selling it due to work.

Thank you. Went into evans halshaw in hopes of getting a newish IS250 ended up test driving it and then the M140i my heart was just more set on it. Was thinking about auctioning it but I doubt there'd be a bidding war over a 2007 Lexus 😂.

To be honest I've just bought an M140i so just gonna take the lexus to we buy any car.

Half tempted to just buy a different car, do you think anybody would bother buying a 2007 IS 250 SE with a broken gearbox? Or would I need to just scrap it.

It was actually these peeps among 2 others I rang before saying f**k this.

Unfortunately not mate I have an automatic.

I've looked at these bit scared to buy a high mileage box to be honest.

Car is currently at 111k, I managed to squeeze 2k miles out of it after lexus had it of pretty stress free driving (my daily commute is 2 miles on a 40 road and 35 miles on the motorway then repeat back)

Unfortunately I did not, only got paid yesterday.

That was the original plan as current symptoms are slow first gear acceleration and no gear 5 and 6. But when I told Lexus these symptoms they estimated it'll be over a thousand pounds in diagnostics if not closer to two thousand.

Unfortunately not, bought the car broken (solenoid faults) developed slight judder at low RPM, took it to Lexus for full diagnostics which amounted up to £750 to be told oil is dirty, had oil and filter changed in box and box calibrated, 1 month later box dead. 😂

Lexus did change the ATF oil and filter not too long ago.

Might not be the worst idea actually.

Well might aswell throw it in here gearbox won't go into 5th or 6th anymore, diagnostics have come up with a P0894 - Transmission Component Slipping code. Gearbox specialist told me it'll be 4k plus vat to recon the box and put a new clutch in (as he thinks it's the clutch that's the issue), and lexus just basically told me box is dead would you like a new one for 6K. Thanks for your help guys my Lexus ownership has been short but sweet.

Been done 2 months ago by lexus, although it was the first one of its life so maybe another one wouldn't do any harm? Car is at 111k miles.
