  1. didnt all all of them have it from the start?? 99?? yep, they've all got them as standard. =)
  2. hi Damoo, I'm new to the forum also and recently bought my first Lexus, an 09/'00 IS200 manual. I drove 3 beforehand, with all having more than 100,000klm's and my only consideration was gearbox bearing noise. All sounded about the same so after buying mine I changed the oil to find clean oil and very minor build up on the drain plug magnet. Research beforehand didn't seem to point to any issues to be aware of and after about 1000klm's driving so far haven't picked up on any additional problems. I think the price for yours is pretty close for the age, depending on condition. I found there were a few available around Sydney late last year and have enjoyed each drive in it since. For reference mine was a little cheaper than yours, has ~200,000 klms and minor body dents. It had two previous owners, was stock and is still a good looking car with my thoughts being that Lexus/Toyota build quality is great and it had an up to date service handbook (given Lexus emboss the pages at service) which added a degree of confidence. Cheers. Ah yes, your input is much appreciated. Thanks. I scanned this out of one of my unique cars magazines: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/903/lexusis200.jpg Its a Lexus IS200 buyers guide, I got a scan of it before but that was while it was still in the magazine, so it was crappy as, so i ripped it out and scanned it :) Also, is the "Sports Luxury" model the one with the LSD etc? Thats the one that is for sale. Hi mate, i'm also new to the forum. about 6 months ago i bought a 99 IS200 sport luxury manual, with around 135000 km on the clock. It cost me $13000 with 12 months rego, from a dealer. Had it inspected by RACV beforehand and absolutely nothing worth noting came up. A couple of little problems came up, but they were more annoyances than anything and i've been able to fix them all for next to nothing. The boot release lever in the cabin wasn't working, even though the boot release button on the key remote worked. Looks like the cable had just come loose. Yes, the sport luxury model is the one with the LSD.
  3. Hey Guys, I'm a new member here at the forum, i've had my 99 IS200 for about 6 months now and am about to make a purchase direct from TTE. I've been in touch with a rep at TTE, and am going to purchase some parts for IS200/IS300/Sportcross to have shipped into melbourne. The more parts we buy the more value we get from the shipping costs. for example to purchase just a TTE front bar, shipping will cost the same as if you also purchased the rear skirt, sill plates and the full suspension kit. I'm thinking if there's enough interest we may be able to look into buying the parts we want, without costing us all as much as if we so, would anybody else be interested in picking up some TTE parts in australia?
