Q: Anybody know where I can buy a Lexus IS 250 at a good price?
I'm looking for an '06 or an '07 Lexus IS 250 prefferably new but definately within 15,000 miles +/- a little bit. I'm hoping to get a deal close to invoice. Anybody know some good dealers (in the south) or websites?

Q: Can you fit an HID bulb in a factory 2006 Lexus IS 250 halogen projector socket ?
I have a 2006 Lexus IS 250 and would like to purchase a Philips HID Conversion Kit. My current IS has the standard halogen headlights with the projector lamps. Will these new HID bulbs fit into my current IS' headlight lamp? I know that HID bulbs are bigger then halogens so I'm a little skeptical. But on the other hand the IS also is available with HID headlights and the lamps look exactly the same.

A: When you get the Philips rebased kit, you need the H11 size HID bulb. It will fit and it will illuminate properly. Make sure you disconnect the negative terminal on your battery first. Also, make sure you are plugging the connectors into the right polarity.

Q: Should I purchase a 2007 Lexus 250 IS or an '07 Infiniti G35?
I have the chance to purchase an '07 Lexus 250 IS, fully loaded w/ Navigation w/ 1,600 miles from someone who is moving out of the country for $34K or should I purchase a brand new '07 Infiniti G35 w/o Navigation for around the same amount? I'm not too concerned about hp. Just wondering which is a better buy, safety record, performance, and which do you find better looking? Thanks!

A: Well Lexus is made by Toyota and Infiniti by Nissan. They are both nice cars and both of thier makers have good track records with thier cars lasting about 15 years. Performance wise I would say the G35, but how could you pick and Inifiniti over a Lexus you know. A Lexus will always look good, no matter what model it is.

Q: Which Lexus IS 250 Has The Most Potential?
im thinking about getting the is 250, but i cant decide between the (sequential automatic w/ paddles) and the (manual) both are 6 speed. i would pick the manual in a heartbeat but the downside is that it only gets 20/28 and the auto gets 24/32 mpg. is the potential of the manual worth the lack of milage? Or are they the same due to the paddles? im planning to tune it later on. or an the extra few g's for the IS 350 a better idea? potential as in performance not price

A: if i were u i would go for sq. auto there wont be that diff. in potential and u would enjoy the automation

Q: Is the manual transmission for Lexus IS 250 bad?
I heard that lexus have bad manual transmission and dont last very long, is that true?

Both of these are 2009 model cars. What's the difference? instead of a 2.5 and 3.5 liter engine?

A: 100 hp, front brake calipers, pads and rotors.

Q: What do you think of a white Lexus IS 250? I was thinking of a black or silver one, but...?
I saw one with a white pearl exterior and black interior. Is white a good color? Just wanting general opinions of white. Black and silver seem to be so in these days.... I'm thinking down the road for resale value, too.... Thanks for your opinions.

A: Color doesn't make a huge difference in resale value, unless it's something wacky. White is a good color for most cars. (By "most" I mean it looks good on most cars, but not necessarily all) It gets dirty...but generally it doesn't LOOK as dirty. This is because reflections off a glossy white surface are really low-contrast (white reflection on a white background, for example) while they're quite clearly defined on a black one. So you don't see the dirt, because you don't see the reflection. When you see a dirty looking black car, it looks dirty because the reflection is obscured by the dirt. The other advantage of white is that it keeps the car cool. In the desert, for instance, black cars almost invariably have peeling clear coat after a few years. This is because the black paint absorbs heat, which eventually breaks down the clear coat layer. White paint reflects more heat, so white paint stays intact longer. Even if you aren't in the desert, a black car can get so hot that it's painful to touch. A white car won't. Also, your A/C won't have to work as hard. So yeah, white cars are a good thing. The only problems: While white is an easy color to PAINT, it's a hard color to MATCH. Different shades and tones of white are starkly obvious next to one another, moreso than a lot of other colors. So if you have any bodywork done, there's a strong possibility it won't look right, if they mess up just a little tiny bit. In some conditions, most notably snowy or foggy conditions, white cars aren't as visible as a lot of other colors. OTOH, they're more visible at night than a black or gray car. So the safety issue kind of balances out.

Q: 06 Lexus IS 250: How do you enable CD track list and radio msg while driving?
On the audio screen of the nav, there is a track list button at the rop right. Pressing this button shows all tracks on a CD. The problem is, it is only enabled while the car is stopped. I know the nav can be overidden to allow all functions while driving, can something similar be done with audio controls?

A: I do not believe it can, it is a safety feature that i do not like either. What if u have a passenger, maybe they want to see the track list or msg. Nope still not possible.

Q: I would like to convert my car (IS 250 SR aotuo Lexus) car to run on LPG.?
I would like to convert my car to run on LPG my car is Lexus is 250 auto. The engine is direct fuel injection model I was informed by the manufacturer (Lexus/Toyota) that there is no gas conversion kit that is suitable to use on this car to convert to LPG Any suggestions? Thanks

A: Lexus would say that as they don't supply LPG kits and are currently pushing their Hybrid models. Having searched the web, there are lots of Lexus conversions around, try contacting your local LPG converters, NOT Lexus.
