Have you driven an RC-F? Or are you basing this on your 13 year old IS300? FrankyX did you notice a difference between the RC350F and your IS350F? As the RC has rear steer. Good write up too.

That's a pain. Why put it there?

Maybe put on a Mitsubishi forum???

Glad I'm not the only one thinking the same thing. "Get over yourself" ran thru my mind. You bought a car not a subscription or membership. The Ducati stand at the MotoGP at Phillip Island is full of Ducati owners, yes.....no free tickets though. Just the ability to buy a ticket to the stand is all ownership gets you. Interesting, you don't know me yet you feel compelled to make a personal comment on me! However, reading some of your other posts there is a common theme there. Sorry Blacky, not commenting on you personally, from your other posts you sound like a good guy. Just the thought that maybe yiou were expecting a little too much. My point with the Ducati stand is that maybe Lexus could have a section that Lexus owners can buy tickets to. What do you gys think of that?? Something between what you were expecting and what we actually got. ilv1004 happy to keep it a happy place. Its more a point of watching what you type than the way you talk though. Don't worry be happy as they say.

I disagree with a few parts of your post....but hey that's what a forum is for. Sorry to sound harsh but I don't mean it to be. When I re-read my post through it read harsh but thats not what I had in my mind while typing. So please don't take it that way Lexus Nerd as I can see you are trying to be helpful...as am I. "Prominent" (Meaning) Immediately noticeable; conspicuous. Hardly what I'd call the level of discussions about rattles in new Lexus on this forum. Thats what they are...STORIES....you need to read different stuff??? Your one rattle is most likely completely different to his. Something to consider before suggesting a course of action that will most likely be a waste of his time. Then why suggest it???Serriously take the car back to Lexus util your happy is the best advice.

They do....they're called Toyotas. A bit like saying Bentley don't do a good dual cab ute. lol Affordable car companies such as Toyota, Holden, Ford etc and Luxury car companies such as BMW, Audi Lexus etc are aimed at different parts of the market.

Hmmmm, You're really chasing info on this......invoice first...now which "rep"?? Your only 2 posts! You wouldn't happen to be a dealer?

Copy of the invoice isn't something that I would supply to some random on the net. Nor something I'd ask for. No sir.

Here you go..... http://www.whereismaps.com/buy-map-updates_built-in-car-navigation.aspx

Congrats on the car..very nice. Gotta laugh at people who when buying a $80k car are worried about "free stuff". Seriously coolmeow? See what you get when you buy an Audi(my other car). You get zip....nil...zero. I'd be happy if the Audi had all its options as standard like the Lexus. As for your bad customer experience... what particularly happened & why did you still buy the car off them then? I only ask because I had the opposite experience...got bad service at Chatswood..OK service at Parra but really enjoyed dealing with City Lexus and thats where I bought from. I certainly wouldn't complain or bag Chatswood or Parra though as its just my experience & wasn't sooo bad. I just voted with my money and gave it to who looked after me. Wondering why you didn't do the same??? I got surveyed after I got my car, maybe you will too? I scored my guy 10 out of 10...sounds like yours will be lucky to get a 5. As for running in the engine....its not as important on moden engines, especially Lexus as the engines get run before being put in the car. Lexus state run in is optional:

I'll save you the hassle....don't bother. They won't touch you car or know about it. Software/switchgear/circuits only need to be slightly different for things not to work. Its locally built so different to what they are trained on and have workshop data for. They will refer you back to a Toyota dealer who also will have no interest in helping you look into this as to avoid any dramas it may cause. If it ain't broke they won't try to fix it. Sorry to be harsh but you've got an Aurion...enjoy it.

I wouldn't buy a Lexus that didn't have a full Lexus service history. Gives me the impression the owner has scimped on mantainence. (not saying that you have) I know that a non Lexus service history has a negative effect on trade in valuation.

No....250X has halogen. The X is based on the prestige model.

IS300 manual would be awesome.
