Neighbours wife has a 3.0 is300 I think, meaning it's same but has a bigger boot/estate type thing.

He said it's been almost bomb proof. 110k from new and apart from normal servicing it's had a reversing sensor and a lamda sensor on bank one, it's mint inside and out and drives like new, bit fussy on set up, the ride is firm but still comfy, and it's plenty quick enough. Oh, xenon bulb went last week...she's been looking for something to replace it for the last year but can't find anything better for their use.

But it's a far more sensible blue.

This has 41k, very low miles, blue doesn't stand out though

Cant remember, are they right or wrong wheel drive?

Woo, dash and interior is quite presentable too, much more exciting than the usual jap stuff, (although I haven't seen the mr2 interior....?   .  )

The MR2 (at least the Roadster, I've not been in a Mk2) is ... I think 'nothing special' is putting it nicely

Yeah I think that's the trouble neighbours wifey is having, other jap stuff is so dull inside.

True, although at least they've improved from the MkIV Supra..



Apparently they fired all the design staff when they'd finished the exterior

Bought this yesterday, my eldest sons mate said, I'll drive it around until you sell it for £150 per week, hows that? Do I want to let someone else drive it around though?











A bit loud on the colour front, but it'll sell well, only 50 (I think made in this colour)  :-/

Oh its a yellow car - Alex one of the twins likes yellow

[Martin_1962]

Lexus IS200, have you got anymore info on this Andy? Cheers

Oh a Toyota Altezza

[Martin_1962]

Not very quick - I had one try it on while I was overtaking with the 3.0 I used to own.

Ah! That was the Toyota it was based on. The Golden Ratchet, as mentioned before hand, put his into Lexus for servicing at Lexus and was miffed when they offered a mere Toyota as a courtesy car say that as he'd dropped a Lexus off, he should be given another Lexus. He got his way but I'd have told him to go forth & multiply

[millwall]

a fella  that lives opposite me had one exactly the same  he sold it last month   it sold within a hour of being advertised and his phone didnt stop ringing even once the ads were removed

How much did he sell it for do you know?

just spoke to him  his was 03 plate with 78k on the clock sold for £8900 he did say he had roughly 150 phone calls and a queue of people wanting to buy it  he also said he could of easily got more but needed to sell quick

[Del Boy]

Yeah it's not quick, but then again it's only a 2.0 

[Kevin Wood]

I might well have had an is200 if I could have found enough room in it. Terribly cramped, knees rubbing on the steering wheel job IMHO, and I'm only 6'.

Then again, a really lanky mate of mine has one and manages somehow.
