Buying Advice For The Lexus Is250 Auto

[MrHarris]

Hi All,

I have been searching around for an is250 auto with the multimedia pack, i have found

55 plate

82,000 miles

Black leather interior - parking sensors

full lexus service history 2 previous owners - current owner had the car for around 3 years

Owner said brakes pads may need replacing very soon - anyone know the cost?

Silver

What would be a reasonable offer to put forward its currently wants £4,800 for it

Pads are very easy to replace yourself. Be wary though as its a cheap fix for the pads so why doesn't the seller do them before selling it. Gotta question the callipers may be seized. Maybe my suspicious nature and may be a bargaining point. All 4 calipers to replace if you can't free up will be in excess of £1000 if OEM products bought. Look through the forum for all the common faults with the car and use this as your check list

Thanks for the info, i was wondering this myself, i did ask him if he has had any problems with the seized callipers in the past he said no as i read that this is a common issue with the brakes.

Yes i read http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/85312-is250-common-problems/

And bought up all these potential problems to him and he said every things good and he has not had any of the problems listed there.

I think it might be worth a viewing
