Good evening everyone, I am in a similar position to Oily except I am looking for an IS200 There maybe one I have found but were it not for the comprehensive list of areas to look at thankfully provided on the forum I would have been going in blind. The car is over 10 years old with a mileage of 50.000. The owner had confirmed it will need a new timing belt and is looking for around £2500. Not knowing what good looks like is my greatest concern but if the forum tips are all ok what should I be paying for a car of this age. Any suggestions would be appreciated Regards Dave

I am going to look at an IS200 this weekend. The timing belt has not been replaced but the car has only done 44500 miles. It also has a full service history - albeit partially not through a Lexus dealer Allowing £500 for the timing belt and with the comprehensive list of what I should look out for from the forms, can anybody give me some idea of what I should be paying. Thanks in anticipation Dave

I am going to look at a 2004 IS200 Sport this weekend. The timing belt has not been replaced but the car has only done 44500 miles. It also has a full service history - albeit partially not through a Lexus dealer.The seller is a private individual and the car condition is allegedly excellent (aren't they all) Allowing £500 to £600 for the timing belt and with the comprehensive list of what I should look out for from the forms, can anybody give me some idea of what I should be paying. Thanks in anticipation Dave
