Long time lurker, new Lexus owner!

[McShmoopy]

Hi guys

I’ve been driving for almost 2 years and ever since I passed I’ve had my eye on a Lexus purely because you don’t see many of them on the road.

Thanks to the many active individuals on this forum, I learned so much about Lexus as a brand, the rock solid reliability, the luxury and the refinement and after test driving an IS250 I was not disappointed one bit and was immediately sold!
 

Finally after my poor corsa broke down, I decided to take a plunge and I bagged a 2010 Lexus IS250 Automatic F Sport and so far I love it! 
 

Hoping to be an active contributor on this forum and I am looking forward to my many years of Lexus ownership and to make some friends on here too 🙂

Hello Bilal and welcome to the LOC.

From a Corsa to an IS250 .....good move, how did the insurance changeover go?

I’m in the county next door so may see you around the A38 😀

Cheers mate, I was after an ultrasonic blue for quite a long time and I was never quite able to find one within my budget sadly so the black is a nice alternative!

Cheers mate! Honestly insurance was one of my major concerns, I was planning on waiting til my 2nd year of driving but with the corsa dying I checked with my current insurance provider. 
 

To change vehicles mid policy my quote jumped up from £80 to £140 a month which isn’t bad as I was paying that pre Covid for the corsa. Thankfully I’m working from home so I dropped my annual miles from 10k to 2k and just social driving!  Generally my insurance is quite high compared to most most but should slowly come down over time.

 

Haha I’ll hopefully keep an eye out for you mate! At some point I may get a private plate, just bought a GROM VLINE for now so the bank balance has taken a hit  😂

Hi.

When your insurance is due for renewal please feel free to give us a try if you wish.

Welcome to the forum! I also did a similar jump from a Fiesta to an IS250 earlier this year. The difference in the two cars is pretty staggering!
