Whitenite Thanks for the feedback. Disabling sensors might be an option. Another idea may be to get the sensors positioned further apart. I would imagine these sensors are merely optically-based proximity sensors, similar to those used in manufacturing lines. It must merely detect an object crossing its pathway by a pre-determine distance. A tow bar may do exactly that but by spreading them further apart, we may potentially be able to benefit from the sensor's function and still have a tow bar. Or I can always use my pre-existing bike frame I purchased for my IS200 which apparently can also be used on the IS250X. $57k for the F Sport is good value. I was initially was quoted $59k by the daealer for just the Prestige before getting a vehicle purchaser to negotiate on my behalf. He didn't do too badly and scored $56k but with an IS250X. Rgs

Hi All I've ordered my IS250X just before the end of the promo period. Pretty good value. All the extra features listed in this forum also ties in with what I've been shown by the dealer. Very grateful that these discussion have played such an important role in my decision making. I've gotten mine for $56,000. Best money I've spent this year. This is my 3rd Lexus, quality has been impeccable, even with my previous IS200 & my current IS200 Sports. Has anyone had the experience of installing tow bars on an IS250X with rear parking sensors? I read somewhere in the forums that this sets off these sensors incorrectly? I'm thinking about using the tow bar to hitch up bikes. Or is there a better way? Am thinking that roof racks may be the way to go but I'm got a pre-existing back injury and may need to preclude this option. Any idea what's a scuff plate? It's listed in the IS250 but have no idea what it is. Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks
