  1. Chris, how's the navigation with the AU maps like? Jom, to be honest i havent had much time with it yet. ive been in my work car too much lately and had no time with the lexus. i will keep you posted but im pretty sure you can run like tom tom on it as well.
  2. very interested for right price wheels especially
  3. F3nix does your auto recycle / fresh air vent keep switching off auto when you switch car on and off. Little annoying. Hope its a software issue that can be updated.
  4. Lol :) na it awesome unit tho. Its worth what f3nix paid though. And any one that gets one will love it.
  5. lol mine came with cable all done 700 bucks cheaper too lol. nice unit.
  6. Mine is $1380 shipped to sydney. my tracking number says i will probably get it tommorrow.
  7. Yes...you're right. I, in fact, once haggled on a new car so much that they finally paid me to take it. It was a fantastic deal. I got the car PLUS $15k!!! Anyone who actually pays out for a car is mad. Was that you Aircon lol hows the car now
  8. The part in bold, apart from being superfluous to the rest of the statement, sounds like you're REALLY DEFINATELY trying to get us to believe you. Not saying I don't, I actually do. However there will be more to the price than just discount, something like the scenario explained below perhaps. So RRP on an IS250 Sports Lux is $84,914. A 28% discount will leave you with a balance of $61,138.08 Now without a trade in....that is not possible as a straight out cash price. You'll get that level of discount when the following happens With a trade in then things are different. It is financially beneficial to write the price of both the new car and the trade down from what they really are. For example: An $80,000 IS250 with a trade in worth $30,000 is a $50,000 balance. However if you write the trade in at only $20,000($10k less than its real value) and drop the new car by the same $10,000 then the balance should still be $50,000 right? Wrong... It will be less than $47,000. Because you're paying Luxury Car Tax(33%) on $70k instead $80k. 33% of $10,000 the tax department now doesn't get. If you write your $30k trade even lower at $10k($20k below value) then the new car also drops $20k plus the nearly $7,000 tax saved. So your $80,000 new car now appears on the invoice at $53,000 .which is a price that could never be achieved without the write down on the trade in. When doing this though you are at risk of falling foul with the Tax Office. ROFL love it. can definately tell you, complex but simple. around about way. lol the month is getting on
  9. Looking through lexus web site and saw this. might help link
  10. SOLD!!
  11. That worked out so expensive!! why ?? did you get it through fly?
  12. There isnt alot you can do. the best most powerful mod you can do to the is200's is a cat back exhaust. anything else you do will be more expensive with little gain. Good luck
  13. thank God for that....I was getting a bit concerned. I love my IS250. It's one of the best cars I've ever owned (and I've owned quite a few), but seriously....why is anyone concerned with its performance? For a 1600kg car with a 2.5l engine I think it goes very well and returns excellent fuel consumption, at the same time offering a very quiet and luxurious ride with just about every gadget known to man....and all this with fantastic fit, finish and reliability. IMO that's what this car is about and it's the reason I bought it. If you want a performance car and you're worried about the 0-100 times (or any other performance figures) then I think you're looking at the wrong car. Just my opinion, of course. So sorry k2sty1, but I really think if these are the important issues to you, then maybe you need to get a Porsche. WELL said couldnt agree more Aircon. perhaps you should wait for the IS350 k2sty1
  14. OH YEAH lol sorry i forgot about them haha
  15. slight correction also id like to know where you found an extra two gears lol. The whole thing would be reversed. The 430 would putt putt away from an IS250 in top gear using its torque lol
  16. I just held it in 8th gear and let the torque do the work. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/
  17. It will be third i think. havent really noticed and i dont think any one really does there are more important things coming towards you faster and faster. I think this is what DIS-LEX-SIC is getting at (?????) its not something on ppls minds when your driving it as you will see when you get yours.
  18. Oh and cheer up its all going to be ok lol. i know how deppressing imperfections can be in your pride and joy but its all fixable
  19. Unlucky terry. I havent had this problem yet and i hope i dont get this problem. im sure there is more than a few ppl that could tell you sydney approved data dot repairers. good luck
  20. some of us know what you know and why you know, i know why you know, and i know that you know and what you know. i know im now confused aswell!! I AGREE!! i think thats what this topic is about lol. i forget!!
  21. The only troubles i have in march is the 13th. but if it falls on this date i can still come just have to make a few changes at work. In all im ok for any saturday. how many numbers do we have. Roll call Time. lets fill the spots and some 1. Chris - LEX51S 2. 3. 4. 5, 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13 14. 15.
