  1. Hi, I have an IS250 US import. The thing is, it feels very quick. 0-100 in about 6 seconds with to people or more in it. Also when testing this, a big pull comes after like 50km/h. Like some turbo kicks in. Really strange. It does 0-200 meters in about 8 seconds. See a few clips here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHzOwOj0Hzo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO8ZSg5aGec Some more clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS2okus5-14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOrgh8rcS8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmr2uFr5wg0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMNLQ7n5NcY Now, could any experienced engineer here explain to me why this is? I've read that there are almost non turbos supercharges on the market for IS250. And if such very expensive what i've heard. I'm not good at engines at all so it's no way I could tell, after talking on other forums and comparing engines we're sure its an 250 engine, but could the turbo been hidden away somewere? Also, the VIN number, how hard is it to find on the engine? Thank you!
  2. Hi, I have recently bought a used IS250 -09 run aprox 22700 km. This morning it was pretty cold, about -5 celcius. When I started the engine a few seconds afterwards the coupé had a smell of petrol and a bit of gas? What is this, to me it feels that something is really wrong here... After driving for about 3 minutes the smell disapeared. Please help, thank you.
  3. Hi, I am planning to buy a used IS250 2009. The interior is great, just the drivers seat that is a bit dirty. Does the lexuses easily get dirty? These are the ventilated gray leather seats. Now to my question. Can you actually examine the car to get a reasonable milage? If its has been rolled back, is there any way to have it checked at Lexus, perhaps with some kind of instruments for the engine? Breaks etc etc? This is in europe were there aren't any laws against roll back the milage, which is really bad. Thank you
  4. Okay, I see. Perhaps thats why this model does not have all the stuff. Thank you, I will have a look at this.
  5. Absolutely! About the only thing I’d miss would be the memory seats, but that’s only because when my wife drives our IS, I can’t even get in the car without adjusting the seat (I’m 6’5, shes not :) ). The only other issue may be the Navigation CD, will your broker install the correct Sweden map disk? Not sure about the HID 22/24. I don't have a wife, lucky me then hehe :) Just buy one of her own.... :) Well, this is a problem, I have seen some hacks out there but nothing is complete, I am having a look at fixing this. There are other issues, farenheit vs celsius, miles vs km, 12 hour time not 24, do you guys know how to fix this? I believe it HID is xeon lights only, he said it has that.
  6. Great information, thank you so much for the information and your time! He said HID 22 or HID 24? Well, except for automatic wipers all the other stuff I could live without. Or maybe parking assistance front would be good. Is it expensive to get that on the aftermarket? This is still a good package right?
  7. It says nothing about the keyless go feature? What I mean is if the doors automatically opens when I get in correct distance. Is this not included?
  8. Thank you, well I cannot grip that much information at the moment unfortunately. Are these 18-in wheels? Then that has to have been an extra option for the premium package. Really sad that windshield wiper sensors are not included in this package, this is really something that even much cheeper cars have. That is strange. Well, from looking on the link you gave it seems to be a premium package with 18-in wheels, Nav, rear spoiler and nothing more. Could this be correct?
  9. What is the package called in the us? Luxury? Well infact I am buying a US imported car. For the IS250 executive(or whatever its called in the us), I have heard that the IS250 "executive" cannot be bought with seats that have memory(buttons right by the speaker), only 350 en the F has it with that package. Is this true? Please also, can you help me and take a look at this car, they claim its an "Executive". Perhaps you can tell me which package it has from the pictures? http://www.bytbil.com/Popup/ObjectImages.aspx?id=svui5fdg&t=full Thank you
  10. Hi, I'm planning to buy a used IS250 executive. What does this package contain? Is there always electric chairs and memory on the executive package? Thank you
