IS250fied

For the IS200, 91 RON fuel is completely fine. It was designed to run on it, but of course using higher octane fuel is never a bad thing. I would use regular unleaded if I were you purely because it's cheaper. Of course, if you're planning to do any track work or "spirited driving", higher octane is the way to go, but for normal driving, 91 RON is the way to go :)

Lexus of Blackburn offer free car washes for the duration of the warranty (4 years), so although it's not as good as 'for life', I still can't complain. Like you, I was able to negotiate the price of my IS250 with a bit of leeway. From my experience (I only went to Blackburn and Melbourne City Lexus), Blackburn was much friendlier and helpful. Melbourne City Lexus didn't really seem like they cared about the sale and refused to negotiate at all.

Hi guys. I stumbled across this forum and noticed it's pretty dead around here. Let's try and revive them because I think it's a shame that other LOC forums are thriving whilst little old Aussieland's is dying. First, I wanna just introduce myself. I'm from Melbourne and recently ordered a manual IS250 Prestige in classic black from Lexus of Blackburn. Delivery is quoted to be around the 20th of January. :) I'll keep you updated if anybody actually bothers to reply to this post.
