Filthy IS250

If you were incapacitated in hospital due to the accident your loved ones may not think that ejecting a DVD was all that important and that is what the insurance assessors would rely on to try and avoid payment.

If you had only asked last week... I've still got them written down if you need them :lol: I've never thought of using last week's numbers this week, gee I wonder what the odds of that coming off 50 / 50, I think I'll save the dollars and not buy a ticket this week.

Firstly the wait is only a couple of months, and I would rather wait for what I truly wanted rather than compromise just so I could get close to what I wanted sooner. This is not a cheap car so I want what I want, I am not your typical Lexus buyer (if one really exists), but I think the IS250 is a very good car and represents good bang for your buck. If I am wrong then I can assure you that in 4 years when that time arrives I won't buy another Lexus unless the replacement is a good proposition. I agree that resale could suffer however at my height the car would be traded a lot sooner if it had a moonroof as you would only hit your head so many times before you decided that you and the car should part company. I did actually discuss this with the salesman and whilst most buyers would penalise you for not having a moonroof, some people don't actually like them (like me) and may in fact pay more for one that does not have one. I actually would have paid more not to have a moonroof, but instead received a reduced price for not having one. Now for the most important question (and if you can honestly answer this one I would also like this weeks tatslotto numbers) in 4 years when I plan to upgrade again and trade or sell my IS250 how much less will I receive for my car versus an identical one with a moonroof.

Definitely Yes and not only that it is cheaper as you don't have to pay for the moonroof. Only downside is that there none in black with black leather interior in Australia, so one is being made in Japan for me.

I have ordered a SL without the moonroof (6'4") and it can be done. I test drove one with a moonroof and my head hit the roof, but I sat in lower spec IS250 without a moonroof and I was able to sit comfortably. The SL was the one to go for me as it has all the toys. The only problem is that I have had to have it specially made, so I have to wait 2 months.
