Hi Guys!! Is it just me or has the forum been running really slow over the last few days? Also is thing new where you can't really see all the posts until you click on each one down the bottom?? I find that rather annoying. Anyone else?

Hey JML, Looks awesome! What did you get done. What does it cost? What does a polish cost at this place? Anyone done their black cars here?

I have to agree the Mobile 98 seems to run better with the IS250. I used to find that with my IS 200 I used to get more kick with Caltex. No idea why? Anyone know? :)

Hi Frank! I had the same problem as you :) so I can see where you are coming from. There are 2 options but both are not good ones right now since the dollar is low. 1. Check out http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/ They have the wheels for the X but it's around 599 US each plus you need to pay for freight. When the dollar was low this was a good option. The sports wheels looks like they are sold as a set which is cheaper than the X wheel. 2. Check Ebay or see if anyone is selling the sports wheel's second hand. In the end I just got the Prestige with EMV and separate wheels and tyres from the dealer because I did not want to worry about warranty issues if something went wrong, not to mention I wanted the light interior which the X did not have. But have a look around and see how cheap you can get the wheels. You could possibly save some money on tyres by using something other than Bridgestone as that seems to be the most expensive. I used the Dunlop Sports Max, but there is another brand I think it was called Sumitomo which is made by Dunlop which is even cheaper Also try contacting Fred at parts at Melb City Lexus (www.citylexus.com.au). They seem to do really good prices on parts, they also sometimes do stock clearances and may have some old wheels that they may be clearing. A friend of mine got the 2006 sports wheel pretty cheap sometime ago. One last thing if you go with the dealer, get them to trade in your old wheels, you should be able to get something for those too. Good luck mate :)

Hey Jomster! Thanks for the reply, I will check my right sensor the next time it happens. My service is not due for a few months yet, I think my car is on 8K so I think I might get there in about 6 months so I will keep you posted to how I go :>

Thanks Bluey, What product am I looking for? Do they have a leather cleaner?

Hey Nick, I did not get the protection done before i got the car, I just sprayed some scotch guard myself on all the seats :) What's autoglym? Is that a brand? Should I be looking for some sort of leather cleaner?

Hi Guys!! :) I was wondering if anyone has any tips for keeping the light interior clean. Do you guys use any products to keep the seats clean etc? I am not sure what I should use to and where to get it. Any tips are welcome. Thanks :)

For anyone looking for a good deal, Sydney City Lexus is doing 0% interest on Demo cars guys!! Get in quick even includes IS250!!! Wish I had waited :>

Hi Guys, I have the same problem on mine. I had mine fitted by the dealer too. I usually find it happens on weather extreme days. If I go around and tap the sensors at the back it all settles down

I agree, I found that walking into the dealer and spending an hour and making it look serious meant that the dealers were ready to move a little on price and options. I don't think in this type of market the dealers are going to let a serious sale go, considering just last month they were giving 5% finance. I would suggest visiting the bigger dealers to see what they will do for price.

Whoa looks nice! What's involved in changing to LED's is it just a matter of putting a different bulb in or does it involve rewiring a whole bunch of things?? :)

To get this corporate deal, the company you work for has to be in the Top 100 or it has to have something like 8 or 10 luxury car's in it's fleet. As long as the dealer can verify that you are eligible for the corporate program then you can get the benefits, but this is something that is paid for by Lexus HQ and the not the dealers I was told so unless you qualify you can't really get this deal. It seems like great value but as my company did not qualify I did not get the deal either :(

After washing my black Is200 weekly, on my Is250 I am down to once every other week, I have found that I can see little scratches even though I am using micro fiber cloth and a good chamois to dry, black looks good but it's annoying when you notice all the little things :> I am using a wash that came with my paint protection kit from these guys: http://www.paintprotectiondirect.com.au I usually find waxing is a lot of work and takes hours so I thought I would try the paint protection and their products, so far it seems to be working well.

Yeah Guy's I can't make Sept, probably better to give a month's notice and also later on in the year the weather would improve too :) At the moment, the weather sucks, washed my car Sat afternoon, rained Sat night...arggg :)

How come they never put any LED's on the rear light's I wonder :)

Hi Guys, I got my IS250 in May but am yet to get my Lexus magazine. Has there been one sent out recently? I used to get one with my IS200 but I am not sure how often or when they are sent out :)

Yeah I found the same, unless I am screaming into the mic, people can't hear me, is this bad design placement of the mic?

Thanks Bluey :) Yep looks like it, did not even realise I had this feature, the dealer never told me about this one :) , guess I know for next time. Guess I should read that big mannual :D

Hi ProjectIs :) I tried this today, but one of my windows down and locked the car with my remote. The car locked it beeped saying something was open but that was about it. The window's did not roll up. I would love to know how to turn this on :)

Hi Guys, Can anybody shed any light on this? I came back to my car today which was parked on the street where I work and alas all the Windows were down half way. I was in a panic and forgot to check if the door's were unlocked. Any idea what could cause this?? When I left the car I did not lock it with the remote, I did press the little button on the door handle hmmm

Hi Guys, does that mean that if I leave the Window open and lock the car, the windows roll up??

I vote B too :) Looks nice and close to OEM. Are these 19's?
