Hello everyone.

My name is Philip, i´m a new IS300h owner since a bit more than 1 month. I was looking on the web for the owner manual of the car (left in the glovebox) and i´ve founded your forum. Looking forward to read the different topics available here about the 300h series. This is my first Lexus.

The car have 200 000 kms (around 107 000 miles) is the F-Sport version full options, except the "sport+". You will be maybe interested in knowing how much it cost in France on the "second hand" market today. I bought it for 15 500.00€ (around 13 000.00£)

King regards.

Hello and welcome. It looks really nice! As for pricing, it's almost the same as here. I just had a look and there is one with 89,000miles for £13,400 etc. Very similar. Crazy that the IS300h are more expensive than IS250 (same third generation) with twice as much miles on the clock.. there is a 2013/2014 IS250 for sale now with 56,000miles for £11,000 and another with 37,000miles for £14,450..

Hello Philip and welcome to Lexus ownership and to the best Lexus forum there is. You've chosen well with the is300h. Hope you came from an auto gearbox in your previous car. What made you go for a Lexus and in particular the is300h? 

There is a dedicated section in the forum for the 3rd generation IS cars and lots of topics on the is300h. I've had 2 and they're brilliant cars.

Enjoy yours.

Hi Philippe

We lived in S. france for 20 years. I hardly ever saw a Lexus unless it was a tourist.

While we were there we usually bought our cars new because second hand ones were very expensive and not good value.

Now, for some reason, the French and UK prices are very similar.

Most cars were Citroen, Peugeot and Renault, but at least you had their garages everywhere and parts and servicing were reasonably cheap.

It was a joy to come back to England to finally buy a nice " proper" car instead of an overpriced boring French bag of spanners. 

Mind you the local wine "en vrac" i.e. on draught, from the local co-op at £1.20 per litre was usually decent quality.

Some things I miss but other things I don't. And don't even mention Brexit!
