hi Bluey, it seems everytime someone needed their questions answered, you always come to the rescue! i passed on your reply to my friend and he said hes only done it once at extremely low speed i quote but the fact is that the car wasn't stationary while he changed the gear. he was in a hurry. He wanted to know should he get the mechanics to check it up when he goes to service next time, which is real soon. thanks for your help once again. lextrane

Hi Jomster Thanks for your reply! What a relief! Yep I think there was no alert or warning in reverse gear, otherwise my attention would be brought into that... Luckily I only wanted to go backwards a few cm.. I'm glad to know that I shouldn't be worried about it no more! By the way, my friend wanted to know if he changed from R to D without completely stop the car (although in extremely low speed, i think he was doing a 3 point turn or something) would it cause any damage to his car? he drives a lexus too. Thanks, Lextrane

Hi guys, what kind of damage would it be if I accidentally reverse a little more than 3 cm with handbrakes on... Am I looking at a severe damage to the braking system and does it require a checkup? Thanks, Lextrane

Hi Sapphire Cam, Thanks for your advice:) Yep I didn't end up singing the L care programme. By the way which detailer would you recommend? Do I need to get my car waxed whilst its new or should I wait for a year or so till I get it first waxed? So far I've got two different opinions from friends.

Hi Naz, cevu and JML, Thanks for the swift replies:) In my case, they offered me both the extended factory warranty AND the vehicle protection. so i was under the impression that they are two different things and the brochure on the extended warranty did not mention anything on leather protection etc. I wonder could it be because different dealership runs different program?? Thanks:)

Hi fellow IS250 owners, I am new to this site so please be gentle and pardon me if I bring up a stupid question to you:) I recently purchased an IS250 and I chose Black with Ivory interior. Upon my purchase I was recommended this L-Care Premium Vehicle Protection program, which would cost me $2,000. The salesman spent a good 20 minutes telling me what this program is all about and how this would greatly protect not only the paint, the leather interiors, the vinyl parts and fabrics. It sounded so good to be true and to be honest I've never seen a car protected by this service. That is why I am having a difficult time making up my mind. So, I was hoping if anyone here can give me a suggestion or anyone can simply vouch for this L-Care service based on their experience. p.s. any general is250 tips is appreciated cos its my first lexus and i want to do it right from the start! Thank you:)
