Picked up my is250

[ahmedali44]

Hi guys picked up my is250 from lexus Plymouth, very long drive back though, but what a car to drive absolutely wicked. It took 4.5 hrs averaged at 39mpg. Done  260 miles on half tank. Pictures attached

Thats great MPG! Looks sharp too - very clean example!

[Verbout]

Very nice indeed.

[steveledzep]

Looks lovely......enjoy !!

Spot on matey ..... you are going to love it. That auto box is just divine. Being the facelift variant you will find a few nice improvements. The USB port in the armrest is much needed step up.

Very pleased for you.

Just quick question I managed to add 1 phone using Bluetooth but can u add any more phones????I can't seem to do it,just keep telling me to delete existing phone and to be honest havnt seen USB port yet. 

[jackcramerr]

there is no usb port. and I also think only one phone can be added.

[normski2]

Looked, from the reversing light shape, that you had the facelift version.

if you have, there is USB port in the armrest and you can input 2 phones ... I have. 

Maybe its not a facelift? But at 59 plate it certainly should be.

Do you have indicator flashers in the back of the door mirror cowl?

Full postcode entry into the Nav?

Very nice mate.

Obviously more photos are required to see which type it is.  Perhaps the right way up this time? 

Also, is it SEL or Se-I?  Cause I thought Se-l's only came in face lift form?

[normski2]

I wonder if a previous owner upgraded the rear light cluster? Its a possibility

[ahmedali44]

Hi guys it's got indicators on door mirrors, all ones I saw had same rear clusters,pictures were taken right way but not sure why came site ways lool, it's se-i, hope these pictures are better,will take more 

[ahmedali44]

Hi just checked and no USB in armrest, got auxiliary like my old is220d,

[Shahpor]

It does seem that 2009 is a strange year for the IS and there are some 'mutant' spec'd cars out there.

According this post you are not the only one:

 

 

[normski2]

Reckon iftikhar has cleared that one up .... its the SE- i    I'd thought from his previous post that he was getting the SEL

That makes a lot of sense then, as the centre console is normally woodgrained on the SEL. Mine is like this...you can just see the wood effect at the bottom of the picture.

I guess there are quite a few variables based what is added on as 'extras' by the first purchaser. I'm still surprised there is no USB in the armrest. I had figured that was common to all facelift vehicles (in the same vein as the flashers in the door mirrors). Mine is the same plate (59) albeit Feb 2010 registered.

[ahmedali44]

Yours must be is250 se-i multimedia plus it's registered 2010, think se-l is up to 58 reg.mine is September 2009.wife never driven auto before, even she notice difference between is220 and is250, said is220d was sluggish, this is great,more power,smoother. 

[jackcramerr]

Now how can one know if I have 09 SEL or SEI . Has ML and wood grain. But no USB.

Think you have SE i

Rear window blind?

[ahmedali44]

All adverts seen says sei multi media plus got ml sound system, normal log book should tell u or do autotrader valuation, it tells about car.im surprised too no USB in armrest on 59, seen few didn't really bother to look for USB connection, there is one in Scotland says multimedia pack. Anyway can't get everything in used car, unless bought new.

[ahmedali44]

Yes according to log book it says se-i and no blind, only seen on se-l, as my is220d was se-l with rear blind,has urs got rear blind?????

[jackcramerr]

What if it has the blind, is  09, log book says SE-L and still no USB ?

Indicators in the door mirrors? L shaped reversing lights?

[steveledzep]

Mine is a IS250C, so may be a bit different.  It is a SE-L August 2009 (one of the first convertibles).  No rear blind for obvious reasons, no ML, but has mirror indicators with both usb and aux in the centre cubby hole.

[ahmedali44]

Another question can u get into hidden service menu on navigation and alter setting,like doors locks when u pull away, mine unlockes when put back into Park, but dosnt lock when you pull away,test drive one door locked but didn't unlock in Park. So can you change settings through navigation system?????? Thanks

[jackcramerr]

Yes indicators on the mirror and L reverse lights. But no USB.
