Thanks all for your help and advice.

Tony Goose: A IS300 would be nice but insurance is gonna cost me more and so is the fuel ;0 (Was caught speeding earlier this year. 5 points)

Made up my mind. Going to get a IS200 Sport. Last 2 questions. I promise :P

1) Cant make up my mind on colour. Seems to be between Silver and Black. Is one more popular for when I come to upgrade?

2) If I dont get one with Sat Nav. Can i fit an aftermarket one in the same place. or do I have to remove the unit on the centre console and fit it their. Does the genuine lexus one go up and down on the dash or is it fixed?

I have about £15k to spend. Can any one give advice on finance or leasing deals? is it better to pay a deposit (say 5k) and pay x amount for 3 years and then a ballon payment in the end? Anyone know any dealers doing really really good rate or special offers (like 0% interest :P )

I really cant wait to get my Lexus. Its all I can think about at work and at home

THANKS AGAIN ALL FOR YOUR HELP

Thanks All. I have a test drive booked this weekend, Cant wait.

Anything I should look for, look out for?

The lexus is the cheapest to insure for me out of the three. I would like SAT NAV. Should I try and go for a later car with DVD? Does this mean I can also watch DVD movies too?

Thinking of a Black/Dark Blue. Any good interior combinations you know of?

Finally the is the Sport a harder ride than the SE? because of the tyre size and lower suspension?

Cant wait :D

Hello Everybody

Time has come to buy a new car. Have a choice of a X-type Jag, mercedes C, BMW 3 and Lexus IS200.

Never thougth of the Lexus until I saw what you get as standard for the price. The Lexus is a real contender especially as I have heard they are very reliable and value for money.

I was wondering if anyone has had the cars mentioned above and can tell me how they compare to the Lexus. Also have a choice of a IS200SE or a IS200 Sport (with Sat Nav). Also how is the manual gearbox compared to the Auto gearbox? If you all tell me the manual is better than I guess I will go for the Sport. I do a lot of Motorway driving and occasional town driving.

Also are there any good dealers anyone can recommend. i hear Lexus is quite high on customer satisfaction.

TIA
