But overall solid cars... that said i think personally think my previous IS250 MK2 was better built than the new MK3 generation. Something has got to be done about the polar bears and melting ice caps i suppose 😂

Service History would be good starter. Not only look at the service book but also check the lexus website for the electronic history and see if it matches and has hybrid check been done every year. Look at the MOT history carefully and see if it tallies up ti will also show any that would have cause MOT failure and does the mileage look correct year on year. Personally i would not look at anything older than 2016 at this point, but bear in the mind the new 2017+ model have a big jump in VED tax. Look the seat particularly driver seat, does it look really worn vs mileage. The rest would be wear and tear such as brake pads etc. Inspect body panel especially if its been raining, are the colours matching. Check engine cap for mayo build up.

Even the rear sets have a few scratches on them courtesy of the child seat! For that i will just get the correct colour code leather dye cream.

Hey Folks, My driver seat on my IS30h F-sport is starting to feel hard and the cover are quite a bit scuffed. I've looking at replacement seats. Needs to be electric. The question is the F-sport seats the same as the non-F-sports?

@MattDH Would like to know what the experience has been like over 1 year later? I am thinking to get an Android unit for my car now, after driving across Europe (different car but using google maps on my phone) vs a weekend trip to Manchester and the Lexus sat nav couldn't even get me on to the correct lane despite multiple attempts. 😂 Also i think it would elevate driving experience and bring a bit of modernisation to the mix.

I've noticed the same thing with time keeping... Could the 12v battery be on its way out?

I pushed my old ones in as they were to far gone, I did initially try to pry them out, so pushed them in and proceeded to fit the new ones

I got mines from Lexus Part Direct as i needed to order a few other things so it was all covered under the £5 shipping. If that was all i need i would have ordered from elsewhere.

To get the tyre pressure display you need to buy the tpms module. Without it your tpms will only display an orange warning light when tyre pressure are low.

I have, I like them, had mines since 2022. Just be sure to replace them in pairs.

I have the tpms module and is great for pressure display. But you might struggle to find one for 2013/2014 models. It needs to be a specific model to work with the car.

If you hit the rear wheel then most likely wheel bearing... it might be a slightly bent. I would start with the corner that you hit. Jack the car and spin the wheel and see if you can hear the noise.

Go with the lexus Paint as it's specifically for your car by the ppl that built your car. It's comes with base coat and lacquer.

You get what I mean though. There is absolutely no reason for the premium hike other than they can get away with doing so!

Insurance price should be capped as it stands it a legal racket!! I find it funny that home insurance which covers 20X more than the price of a car is less to insure than the car!! Madness! Even more annoying as the car insurance renewals go up the value of the car is dropping year on year. Agenda 2030... You will own nothing and be happy....
