At 69K miles it should have had the big service (read expensive) too, or is this purely mileage based rather than age?

What's the difference between the Full and Full + services??

That's great, always good to know a cars history, thanks for the info.

It's been noted....

Following on from my other post with questions about ISF ownership I have seen this car for sale nearby, wondered if this was owned by anyone on here at some point? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-Lexus-IS-F-5-0-V8-Auto-420bhp-FULL-LEXUS-S-HISTORY/184685691412

😵

So this car has turned up scarily close (for my bank account) on eBay and also AT: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184685691412?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D73539c52e3564474b46ac2243bdd5840%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D304003070149%26itm%3D184685691412%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A2c96e116-bd2f-11eb-a508-da9a9f13831c|parentrq%3Aa28972b41790acf3c61cb05afff5910c|iid%3A1 Will hopefully be going to take a look this weekend, it will be the first ISF we will have seen so will be doing a bit of due diligence re family needs, space in the back for the kids, etc. Anything to keep an eye out for, car looks pretty clean from the pics?

Is there any benefit from running different spec tyres?

LOL, sausage fingers!

Had a mooch online, are these tyre sizes right, front coming out more expensive than rears, which is different! Front 225/40 /19 Y 93 Rear 225/35 /19 Y 93 The rears are a lower profile than the front, not sure if I'm reading that right...

What tyres are people running, my BMW has a staggered setup (although only 18s), anyone bother running all season or winter tyres at all, I have a set for my BMW and wouldn't be without them between Nov and March.

boring question alert! What MPG are you seeing and type of driving is that? I know you don't buy these cars for their economy but it's still something to consider, I understand something like an S4 (09-13) will return low 20's day to day for example.

Hi All, Sorry if this is covered somewhere, I'm looking to replace my ageing BMW 330D and an ISF has been on my radar for a looooong time so want to get some info from those in the know to present to SWMBO, the main reason for the change is the cost of the up keep on the BMW has started to increase quite rapidly, a couple of grand in the last 12 months which is mainly down to the age of the car and I know there is other stuff that needs doing, how are the older ISFs holding up (I know about water pumps and the radiator issue)? It'll be used daily, I have a 10mile round commute to work, across 30,40 and 50 zones, and we usually have couple of longer journeys each month (80 - 100 miles), motorways and A roads usually and I tend to cruise rather then "hoon" which suites the BMW perfectly (low down torque and auto box), although it can and will shift if needed...probably averaging 320 - 350 on a tank "around the doors". Am I right that the back seats don't fold down? Anything else to be aware of, heavy on tyres, servicing costs, can you still get a Lexus warranty for the older cars? TIA
