Lexus would say as a 38 year old male with a great job and a good income, that I fit their demographic for the SC430 very well. However, at the same time, I'm black and usually have a shaved head so I'm sure most people think that I make my money either selling drugs or as a pimp and I think the car only adds to that perception. Regardless of the above I think the SC is perfect for me!

Soundtrack

Hi there and welcome to the club. The sound via the auxilliary was very good I thought, however you will not be able to control the iPod via the normal stereo controls, you will need to use the controls on the iPod itself.

Always wondered how it worked and now I know!! Very funny!

Your the first person Ive seen who likes the OEM wheels :winky: I quite like the OEM wheels too!

Good choice of motor. Really like black cars but just think they need to be cleaned that little bit more often. As for the MM option - you made the right choice! :winky:

Hi there welcome to the club and congratulations on your purchase. As others have said there is no Mute button, but like scott I tend to use the Audio off button as well.

Great looking car there rob, are you pleased with it so far? Did you get the Multimedia system as well?

Had my SE-L for 18 months, purchased in Dec 2005 not a squeak or rattle to be heard. As Tango says the car is very quiet that you do pick up little noises that are nothing to do with the car (such as briefcase lock rattling or partners watch rattling against the passenger arm rest).

Never had car dealings with any of them but have been into Manchester and Bolton and the staff have been very pleasant. As for the car the IS250 SEL Auto is the one to go for, get the MM package (Multimedia) and you'll have all the toys you would ever want, and more besides...

It certainly does not, not in mine anyway :) No rattles either and I doubt if I'm the only one. No rattles on mine either and the mirror only vibrated when I had music turned up very loud!
