  1. Thanks BULLIT for your comprehensive response. Unfortunately doesn't appear to be any 2011+ models on the market in VIC at the moment... Might have to hold on to the Merc longer or settle for a 2010.
  2. Hi All, I'm new here and new to the Lexus brand so please be gentle. I'm currently driving an aging C-class ///AMG as my daily and a used IS-F popped up on my radar as a possible option for a replacement. I have enjoyed driving the ///AMG, especially the straight line performance and the V8 growl, but the dealer support, or lack of for the AMG models, and their ever increasing penchant for guessing and charging first, and actually doing any troubleshooting later, is scaring me off going back to the brand. (I got rid of my earlier BMW's for a similar reason). I'm getting rather sick of second guessing them and having to do my own research on forums to tell them what's actually wrong whenever I have an issue! (And I'm certainly no mechanic). There doesn't appear to be many on the market, and the only 2 in VIC are both 2010 models, (which is a bit older than I'd like, but the K's aren't too bad on them and they are well priced), so if anyone knows which dealers/Independants in Victoria have specific knowledge on this model and can offer a detailed PPI so I can get one or both of them checked out that would be great. Lexus's (Plural Lexii??) appear to have significant more bang for buck when it comes to standard features and a reputation for reliability and quality, so I'd also like to know is if there are any known issues that I should be looking out for on a 6 yo car and what the dealer support and knowledge is like for this model? (In particular City/SE Suburbs Melbourne). I've organised a test drive for later this week and will judge the performance for myself soon, but I could live with a slight trade-off in performance if I can get improved reliability and additional standard features. I like my cars to sound good to so I hope the exhaust note can be easily fixed if it's too "quiet" . Thanks in advance.
