Dust

Any helpful tips would be appreciated.

This is a simple question, but I can't figure out what temperature I should regulate my foggy windows. My plasma screen doesn't work, So i can't see what temperature my AC or the heater is blowing. I just go from the top and sorta hand feel it everytime I wan to regulate it. Anyways it's not a problem.

I wanted to ask you guys this. This is simple but once and for all I wanna get this right lol. When I have foggy windows that means the car is heating, in the winter time its an obvious one to use the defroster. When it rains my back window which is tinted is always foggy, my front one is almost the same. How do I regulate the circulation to always have the best visibility, during rainy snowy or humid weather. If possible indicate step by step. Fogginess occurs whether I start up the car, Whenever it rains really hard combined with humidity or When it is really cold. Its annoying not to know inaccurate circulation of air flow which is wasted and not used properly. :chairshot:

Thank you,

Nick :)

Very nice car. :)

Everything looks so nice in your car, so neat.

Your machine is amazing. How many miles is on it.

Suggestion : You must get tints with a ride like that. At least 35%

Do you guys know how much is the base price for IS 350 with everything included? What are better warranty packages to get? Would you also estimate the montly payments based on the original price.

Thank you.

You're right. Good Audio system is an important feature for most drivers. I believe that the car would go for about $35.000 taking out navigation system and other small extra features. But it's still too much...

If I were you, I wouldn't get maintenance on the car @ the dealer. Overpricing is one thing but where I live they do a lousy job.

Local auto shop would something you have to look into, I am sure there are guys here from LA who would help you out.

Congratulations on your purchase, and post pics if you can. :)

DRL as far as I know on your series only activates in Canada.

In US its different.

I have no idea how to rewire the system, but its not an easy process. Contact any Lexus Dealer and see how much they would charge you.

Oh nah, dont worry about it. I already found out what I needed to know about carfax.

Thanks again, enjoy your ride. You might wanna get the tint done, clear head and bumper tail lights...That improves the machine especially the 90-99 generation.

Yeah, definitely. I am sorry nc211 but I've tried reaching other people and they did not respond for weeks. Thank you again for helping me out, I personally think this thread should be deleted. This was a request not a free vin !Removed! thread. :)

I hear you. Thanks a lot for everything again budd.

NADA is the official valuation of a vehicle's market value. It is basically blue book, but a little bit more refined. Most lenders will base thier loan criteria off of NADA, as where car dealers will quote from kelly blue book. Or as some of those snakes do, they use a black book to hammer you down on trade value, taking it to below wholesale value, and then quote the price of the new car at full on retail. Matching wholesale to retail....aka...their profit spread. Your NADA in NY for the car, minus the carfax information is:

Trade in value = $4,925

Loan value = $4,450 "what a lender would lend on it"

Retail value = $6,600

The original sale price MSRP was $42,200 back in the day.

If you took it to trade it in, the dealer would probably offer you $4,000.

wow thanks a lot. 4,000 isnt too bad if you need the money right away. You said the dealer offers you 4,000. Is that a Lexus dealer? or just a random one? You also said trade it in, can you sell it to the dealer?

What is NADA? My Mileage is about 192.000

:)

Big thanks for quick replies and a special thanks to nc211 for breaking down additional information.

pm sent nc211.

Thanks.

If anyone does have it, I am curious of what my car went through before I purchased it. Personally when I got it, it looked brand new. Runs great.

Thanks guys,

Nick

As far as service, Brooklyn Bay Ridge Lexus is horrible. My friend with a brand new LS 430 2001 had to wait 3 and a half hours for an oil change.

I dont know about the dealership. I heard the Manhattan one is also bad. <_<

Great Brochure, Mr LEX. Thank you.

Although I have a question, I could not find the fuel compensation for IS 250 and IS 350.

Do you know how many mpg they both go for. city/highway

Thanks,

Nick

I dont really know what they are going to do with the new LS. We just going to have to wait and see. Right now of course I am all over the new IS series. :P

Excellent replies guys.

Welcome to the club. Remember when you accelerate, put a smile on your face and think of us. :D

Congratulations buddy.

Yeah, great job SK. Sorry, I just wanted the LS users to share some opinions on the new model. I dont really know anyone in the IS forum section, but certainly willing to find out if, hey everyone. :)

wow, looks real nice in black.

What is the base price for the IS 250. Also does anyone know how many mpg this car goes for.

Thanks :)

The new IS series is expected to be released soon. Some say it will be on the market this year.

Specifications :

215 - hp ( IS 250 ) 2.5 litres * Huge plus for people who want to save gas *

315 - hp ( IS 350 ) 3.5 litres * Huge for those who feel the need for speed *

They also might revise the final product. Does anyone have any more sources on this?

Prices. Cons. Pros. etc...

Here are some picutures

I am really impressed with this design. Now I am wondering whether I should really get it, gas prices are booming and that's a major impact for me especially here in New York. I always wanted a manly luxurious top notch LS series, but I am only 20 and I wanna experience what this class can offer me.

What do you guys think?
