Thanks for the input Guys.
In reality this car chose me, I bought it as sales stock and as nothing is moving at the moment I've decided to keep it.. even if its just for the ML sound system lol
Cheers

Ok.. so I acquired a 220d a couple of weeks ago, the car has 110k on the clock and its fine at the moment, doesnt loose coolant and drives fine (not been on a run yet) is it a matter of when not if that the HG will fail?
Does servicing make a difference? Is there a particular mileage that it becomes more vulnerable? any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
Hi Andy, just bought an 07 IS220D myself, absolutely love it. The lag apparently is part of the package but you get used to getting the gear change right. Happy driving π

Hello Kish, I'm a new boy here too π Where in the West Mids are you? As far as the airplanes go my Daughter is an engineer at the RAF Museum Cosford in the Michael Beetham Conservation Centre so gets to work on some interesting machines.
Welcome..

This has 110k miles on it but has been well serviced, its giving me about 29mpg just tatting around but not taken it on a run yet. Yes the lag can catch you out but got used to picking the gears at the right time. The sound system is amazing in it.

LOL.. I'll try not to use our BM or Audi. Seriously I know exactly what you mean, the quality of the Lexus are superior to both and considering this is 13 years old its amazing π
TBH Lexus had never appealed to me but then again I had never looked properly before this came in. Always knew they were a well built quality Toyota but saw them as an old mans car. But then again I am an old man π€£π€£
Hello!
Well as a bit of a car trader I picked up a 2007 IS 220D with all the bells and whistles for my stock, due to the present situation nothings going to sell (my choice) I have been using the Lexus and like it that much I've bought it off myself! Love it π. This particular motor has been so well looked after its a keeper.
Look forward to chatting with you Guys.
Thanks Steveπ
Bought a 2007 IS 220D as sales stock, liked it so much I'm keeping. As any car I take too I like to get involve in forums.. google search and here I am :)
