  Which manual car could we buy to replace our 2000-registered Lexus IS 200SE? 6 Feb 2012 (Ask HJ)
  Your reply about the new MoT made me think that perhaps I should consider changing my 2000-registered Lexus IS 200SE. As an 80-year-old we do around 5000...

• Lexus NX - Dashboard leather finish 25 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  I have had my Lexus for a few months now, very comfortable, surprisingly economical and altogether a nice drive. Boot space a bit tight but nothing I can’t live with. The ICE is quirky but improves with experience but still not quite up there.
• Lexus - Mad or simply idiotic owner? 9 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  Walked into town on Tuesday. Close to a set of lights a Lexus GS passed me and from the exhaust it was emitting quite a bit of white smoke (not steam). A few seconds later the unmistakable smell of parafin (I know the smell well - in my youth every outside loo was heated by it in winter as was every greenhouse) drifted into my nostils.
• Nissan Leaf Ford Modeo Lexus IS250 - 12k second hand commuter under 6k£ 20 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  I'd get a Leaf just because I can charge it for free, so within 3 years it pays for itself. If the Leaf isn't OK I hesitate between a Mondeo 2.0TDCi and a Lexus IS250 automatic. What's your take? What kind of mileage I can reasonably find for 6k£? Primarily I want a very reliable car, running costs are secondary.   Cheers
• Lexus style lights..Electrical problem. 26 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Hi All. Well i have been messing about for five hours now and got nowhere. This morning the lexus style lights arrived for my ford Ka (2003/ 03 plate) complete with the bulbs and wiring connectors, so a simple 15 min job to change over, or so I thought. The problem I have only affects the rear drivers side.
• No Lexus - It went bang. 10 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  I hope The Lawman and P2501 don't mind me posting this but here goes nothing. Insured myself on the Lexus. Get the certificate. All sorted for picking it up this week when I get a call. The gearbox has given up basically. Keeps jumping out of gear. Could cost loads, or might cost not loads. No-one knows and to be honest, I've got a perfectly good car and am not really willing to risk it.

• bland or prestigious 20 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  thank you everyone for your comments on my lexus or bmw forum. i must admit bmw are well engineered and build quality is superb. but i have noticed they look like clones of each other now 3, 5, 7 series. no character anymore. i bet there's bmw owners who have loads of problems with there cars and been converted to lexus. they use to be quite exclusive but there common as other cars now. the new honda civic is going to scare the blue rinse brigade its aimed at the younger market.
• Is there a faster way to lose money? 24 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  Just been listening to a very interesting radio programme featuring a car valuation expert. A chap just enquired on the value of an immaculate '04 Lexus GS430 sport? with 12k on the clock and fully loaded. IIRC he paid £42k for it about 10 months ago and today's valuation is..... ..... £26k!!!! Ironically the owner bought Lexus in the belief that they retain they values well but apparently this car is not much in demand anymore.
