Just a quick question I have come acrross an IS 300 and the rear view mirror has a button on there which says Auto and when you press it, a little green light appears, but nothing happens. What's this for?

Haven't you got a tape measure??? :duh: No, I meant what product, I can now measure the diameter by putting a peice of paper on the exhaust to leave a black circle But thank you for consructive help, that was a great help

Chrome exhaust trim - fitted not flush with the old pipe should make it stick out enough. HELP- I don't know what I'm looking for?

Ok, so if I want to buy the following, what brand would you recomened for each area? Exterior Polish - Leather Care/Cleaner - Car Shampoo - Alloy Cleaner - Tyre Dressing - Window Cleaner Window Polish -

Thanks, I currently use the AutoGlyn range for everything, Exterior Polish, Leather Cleaner/Care, Car Shampoo etc would you say this is the best stuff out there or are there better Exterior Polishes, Leather Cleaner/Care, Car Shampoo etc?

I was thinking of buying this pack, what are everybodys views and experiences? It costs £300.00

Why, not the vasecotomy but behind the wheel of a BMW?

Chrome exhaust trim - fitted not flush with the old pipe should make it stick out enough. Thanks Hando. Where can I find one, Halfords? Oh and what diameter am I looking for?

Need help as usual. I have noticed with the Aero Pack Styling Kit for the IS hides the rear exhaust Tail Pipe, is there anything out there that can extend the tail pipe so that it sticks out slightly as before as apposed to bieng hidden, Whats the solution?

Not a big fan of this. Why is it that most of the new BMW Interiors are looking very cheap, plastic and somewhat cold?

I dont think much in it really mpg, is300 dont use much more than your is200 :D The centre caps from standard 17inch lexus wheels will fit the 18inch styling wheel :D Thanks. Just what I wanted to hear. I drove an IS 300 in 'anger' for the fisrt time on the weekend, I must admit it has got some power and real grunt. And then very refined when driving it casually, very impressive!

I'm currently spending approx £25 a week in my IS 200 if I went for an IS 300 how much could I expect my Petrol cost to jump up by in £'s please? thanks. Also I've noticed the 18" Six Spoke Aero alloys centre cap is plain, there is no L logo, if I wanted to replace that with a centre cap with an L logo what options do I have, does the new IS model centre cap diameter fit the old IS wheel. Hope that makes sense? Thanks.

Thank you. Any tips on what I can say when they try and push the value down on my car as I don't have the Spare Key and only 6 days MOT?

By how much are we talking loads?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm thinking of doing a px on my car, but I can't find my Spare Key and I mistakenly told them my car has about 6 months MOT when acutally it only has 6 Days, will this effect the orginal valuation they put on my car? HELP.

I just wanted to know what are the key advantages and benefits of buying an approved pre owned Lexus from a Lexus Dealership? As apposed to buying private or through traders. I know the dis-advantage is you will end up paying abit more but what are the key benefits? Your help, as always is greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance.

That seems like a good deal, what was the price before you negotiated down and has it got the Sports Kit (Aero Pack)?

There has been a change in plans now, after some careful thinking I have decided against the Strach Blue, instead now I want to go for a Silver or if possible IDEALLY Gun Metal Grey IS 300 with the same spec i.e Full Leather, Sat Nav, E-Shifts Full Lexus Service etc etc but also with the Sports Kit etc i.e. the extact same as this one http://www.mccarthycars.co.uk/pages/stock_...asp?car_id=4724 Now I rang the guy there and I believe he's asking way to much for it and he's not even prepared to negotiate. The last service was done at 58,000 so now anyone who buys it will have to get the timing belt changed and do another service to bring it up to date, I also feel the mileage is a tad high. Put it this way Lexus Brighton have got one, guess what in Strach Blue without the Sports Kit and 39,000 on the clock plus all their warranty etc for £9,300 so how can this guy want what he wants? I welcome your thoughts

Yes I've seen that too. but I'm not sure if that is Strath Blue and not having the Sat Nav is quiet a minus point.

Yes I was looking at that this morning Full History and full spec and the price I think is fair. First thing I would do is go to Laptab in B'ham and get those alloys Black Chromed.

Thanks you've been a great help. Yes the £11.995 is a bit out. Gord, Thanks for also helping I've gone through the Autotrader but there is no IS 300 in the Strath Blue, I did however find an IS 200 in Strach Blue, now that would be ok because allthough it wasn't the IS 300 it did have the 11 spoke alloys, but NO full leather's and no Sat Nav. Even if I found an IS 200 Sport with same spec I would probably consider it.

Thanks Parthiban, That's what I should, I suppose I could buy one and then fit the 11 Spokes after or do a Swap. Thanks for your help, oh what would be a competive price to pay from my point of view, it would require Full Lexus Service History?

I was hoping someone could assist. I currently own an IS 200 Sport and allthough I'm very happy with the car I was thinking about an upgrade if you like. I'm in no desperate hurry but I would like to buy next an IS 300 in Strathcarron Blue with Sat Nav, Full Leather Interior, e-shifts on the steerring wheel and the 11 spoke alloys. First is that spec available in an IS 300? if so can anyone help?? Thanks.

I have just come across this link and the first thing I thought was it's right hand drive. I'm not sure if anyone can help but US would be left hand drive so where could this Ultrasonic Blue be?
