  1. Hi It's also been 2 years since I had this car. IS250 2008 109k miles + 9k that I added. After the purchase, I did a full service (oil, filters, spark plugs). After about 6 months it turned out that the middle section of the exhaust had a hole, I bought an OEM one from ebay for £320. Apart from that, I only had minor issues such as air leaking from the tires (rims on this car could be better) or clogged windshield washer pipes. I also noticed that the heating was failing, which turned out to be caused by a clogged heater, but i managed to repair it on my own. Recently changed cabin filter so as not to inhale any more diesel stink (funny that tax road for diesel are cheaper). Last MOT was done in December and past without any problems. As I wrote, I drove it 9,000 miles. Fuel consumption is 29mpg, with a lot of city driving. In general, at the moment I am happy with the purchase and I hope it will stay that way until the time comes to sell. I still like how the car looks and handle.
  2. seems like good solution but the question is if it really works have you noticed any change while driving?
  3. well... yea I already checked MyLexus app and its nothing useful there That's impressive like for the millage, hope will get to 200k with that little issue as u did. In my case I driving around 5k miles a year so this Lexus will last forever. The only issue when I was deciding to buying it was expensive tax road and mpg which is actually the same like in my hyundai and a little worse then in Volvo s40 which I also had before. I had also BMW 318i but that was i nightmare since then I said to myself that will never buy german car again :) Thats interesting because Ive seen quite a lot of yt videos where they talking about carbon build-up like the one of the common problem of IS250. I was also thinking which fuel should I use and end up filling with vpower on shell (these days price going up day by day, wonder where it will stop) next time will fill up with cheapest one and see how it goes. At the moment Im planning to change oil, filters and spark plugs and see if there is anythink else to do
  4. unfortunately despite the fact that car was serviced in lexus till 2017 and then every year in independent garages (at least thats what can see in the service book, hope its legit :D) have some rust down at the bottom, can see that exhaust pipes are quite new like previous owner replaced them. Wonder if Lexus can share the info about job its done to the car? Can you share what kind of issue you had? Have you ever had a problem with carbon buildup? Thanks for the info will call them on Monday and see if they have time in the week PS. Hi to everyone :)
  5. I bought mine few days ago and I live in Manchester as well :) What a coincidence Im about to do a full service in next week, got FSH but car did only 5k miles during last 2 years drives pretty good like for 2008 and 109k miles on the clock (previously had Hyundai Coupe 2007 very reliable but to firm for Mcr roads) Hey Vlad which garage do can u recommend (I live in Rusholme)
