  1. Hi have a IS 350 2013 F sport & recently just, touched a wall, (not hard at all) only just cracked the grill, but have gotten this "pop up hood failure" msg on the dash. Anyone in the know how to clear this msg from my dash ? Was hoping didnt have to take it to a dealer if it was something that can be cleared easily ? Cheers
  2. OK, where abouts are you, im in perth ? Any idea on the freight ? Where wld be the cheapest place to source the grill do you think ? Thanks
  3. IS 350 F SPORT 2013 Can anyone advise where the cheapest place wld be to buy these 2 parts ? Thanks
  4. Hi can anyone advise where the best/cheapest place is to buy a small amount of mercury grey paint ? Apparently lexus don't even sell it anymore ? Know you used to get a small amount with the non current shape models, not anyone
  5. Both really i guess, wouldn't bother with the CAI , if all i does is increase the noise, i can turn my stereo up for that :) Have heard most after market exhaust systems do both, (power & economy) but i hear a lot are quite noisy, which i don't really want. Not fussed on the noise, if it was an ISF, then yes ! Be interesting to hear from people who have fitted one & the before & after difference ?
  6. Hey, have read a couple of posts where people have said much the same, changes the note, but no noticeable power improvement ? No difference in economy, ? & is it louder whilst driving, or just on start up ? Maybe the exhaust is the way to go
  7. Hi would be keen to hear about any performance & or fuel efficiency mods anyones done on the car yet ? Hear of a lot of people trying after market exhausts, (can be quite noisy ?) chipping them, changing intake systems, filters etc, has it made a noticeable difference ?

  9. Hi can anyone advise what they've paid for either a genuine, or non genuine tow bar for a IS 350 2013 model pls ? Been quoted anything from $1500 - $2500 which is ridiculous
  10. Thats all that matters. - They would only be to happy to take your money, why wouldn't they? $500-600 to change the oil, good work if you can get it!! I don't know anyone that's paid full retail for one (or for any car for that matter), so id be hitting them up for that free window tint for sure & some !!!! People having be buying the IS 350 F sport for low $80's, so you've probably paid somewhere between $5-8000 to much, more than enough to cover your tint cost. Plus didn't they have free on roads recently ?, that alone was a $5500 saving. Couldn't see the mats & boot liner being worth anymore than 4/500 bucks either ? Like you said your happy & that's the main thing. Reckon the dealer & sales rep would be pretty happy to !
  11. Sorry, yes, F Sport with Enhancement Pack 2 (Moonroof, Radar Active Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Safety System, Lane Keep Assist and Automatic High Beam) plus Cargo Liner (no charge) and spare set of Carpet Mats (no charge). Going to try get them to chuck in Window Tint too prior to delivery - but not fussed if they don't come at it. I also purchased with no trade (sold my 2011 350 F Sport privately) As Lexus Nerd said, I'm waiting for 2014 build and compliance because the dealer wasn't real flexible on negotiating and it would cost me as much as I'd save by buying on the mainland to get it back home to TAS anyway - plus risk damage from other careless drivers on Spirit of Tasmania. I also didn't want to take delivery of a 2013 built car in the first month of 2014 - you'd instantly lose a years depreciation before taking delivery.

So you paid $88,784 drive away ? thats the full RRP price ?
  12. OK, nice was that a F sport ?, any extras ? Like that color interior ! so about a 3.5 month build/wait time ?
  13. Hi can anyone advise what they've paid drive away for their new IS 250, or 350 F sport 2013/14 new shape ? even luxury too ? The deals you here people are getting seems to vary greatly depending on what state your in.Happy to hear what kind of deals buyers are getting and where Australia wide. Be handy to know what dealers to avoid too ! Thanks !
  14. Hi mate 2012 model, thats the old shape i take it ? as the new shape 2013/14 retails for around 84,000 (on road) for the IS 350 F sport
  15. Hi Joey, congratulations, how are you enjoying it ? What were you driving before ? What did you pay if you dont mind me asking, seems hard to gauge ?
