Just About To Buy An Is250 F Sport But....

[shane3265]

Hi everyone,

I'm returning to the club after a long time out - I used to own an 03 plate is200SE with the Styling Kit and now Im about to buy a 60 plate IS250 F Sport.

During the test drive I noticed the engine management light was on as well as what looks like the traction control light on the right hand side of the dash. Didnt seem to effect the drive and the sales woman assured me this would be taken care of by Lexus Edinburgh.

Question is - is this something thats common in the IS250? Anyone heard of anything like this?

On a side note I have to say Lexus Edinburgh have been great to deal with, they made a cracking offer to me for the car that included a 3yr warranty and road side assistance!

Ive paid my deposit and will hopefully pick the car up this week so Ill get some pics up asap :)

hi,if they give to you 3 yr warranty should be fine...

don't want to be negative but why would they put it up for sale with a defect, would have made sense to fix first !!!!

Yeah I'm not too worried about it especially with the warranty, was just curious to see if this rang any bells with anyone. In their defence the car only arrived as a part exchange on Saturday and I was round to see it Sunday! There were a few other issues but they are sorting them out for me

that can be an expensive fix, make sure its sorted out, and do a comprehensive check on all the electronics/electricals
