Following my great uncles death, we are selling his car (well, one of two, the other being the Jag i talked about a while ago...)

2004 Lexus IS200 SE - 2.0 litre V6

Amongst other things, it has...

6 speed gearbox
Traction Control
ABS
Air Conditioning (Climate Control)
Heated Seats
Bleepy Parking Sensors
17" Alloy Wheels
Dual front and side airbags
Full leather interior
Intelligent remote dual locking system
I'm pretty sure it has a 6 CD autochanger too.


Specs for car...

2.0 V6 24v 153bhp
0-60 in 9.2 seconds
Insurance group 12

I took it for a spin today and it's such a nice car to drive - it's balanced very well and takes any corner with ease. Puts the 306 to shame

I was able to find the perfect driving position very quickly and found the car very, very easy to drive. The engine sounds very nice, and it sits comfortably on the dual carriageway at 70mph in 6th gear. Give it some beans and it will not disappoint either. It's got about 29,700 miles on the clock. It's always been very well looked after.

The interior is pristine with no cuts or scuffs in the leather. Everything works as it should.

Price to follow soon, it will be around £10,500. I'll update when i get confirmation from Dad

If anyone is interested please send me a PM, or post in here with any questions

Edit: I forgot to say - this car is located in Hampshire (20 mins up from Portsmouth)

Thanks mate :) Thats awfully nice of you :)

You want the truth?

Well... OK

Here goes.

Download Picasa 2 from Google > open your picture > press the add glow button.

Hey presto.

Thats generally all I do to my pictures...

I use the 18-70mm lens the most... thats the only walkabout lens i have. My other is the 70-300mm telephoto macro.

Which lens do you use the most?

Thanks again :D

Chances are though Rush, your photos are as good as if not better than mine - maybe you're just being overcritical of your own work :) Chuck a link this way to some of your stuff. I had a look in your gallery but i only found 3 pics. I liked!

Very nice car indeed!

Always fancied one of these, infact all most bought a 2 litre straight six. Decided my 90 mile commute wouldn't stand the fuel bills :(

Very nice though and good luck with the sale mate.
