Hi peeps,I have a very tidy 98 uk classic that I have had for over 18 months with no probs whatsoever. It passed the mot last week without even an advisory,however the "swap car demons" have reared their heads and I am looking at an "x" plate Lexus is200,hence the title,am I mad. Help/thoughts appreciated,cheers!!!!!!!!

It would be a straight swap,so no monies involved,so would that change your minds????????

dont do it!!!!
or get old too quickly, drive sensibly, get some comfy shoes possibly, go to the pub but only if the wife lets you but just for one ?
i like that lexus but really no comparison, getting bored mod it? I guess it depends on your commitments...
scoobs put a smile on faces every time i'm in one ?

the scoob does put a smile on my near 50 year old face every time and it is modded by me ,but the "swap car gremlins" are here,so what do i look for then. And if I find it,who wants a nice scoob?:brick wall

zedy

if you get a low mileage sport model in a nice colour or the aerodeck model, the is200 is great on the motorway i own a 50 000 mile areodeck packaged car, i love it i also have my subaru still which is a 320bhp car and im afraid all that does it for me is the speed, handling and sound apart from that nothing else

seriously if its a good scoob with no probs keep it,, very hard to find,,, BUT when you come to sell the scoob for cash then forget it unless you put it on really CHEAP, the fact is they are very hard to sell for the money you want and you WILL get loads of timewasters/tyrekickers potless people and randoms asking to swap for quads and older knackers

to summarise is200 sport with low miles or an aerodeck, if not just keep your subaru

thanks zedy, but it isn't the sport and the mileage is 138k but with fsh to 130k in silver?????????

I'd rather have mine than the Lexarse.

jonezy

dont do it, last time i drove a lexus all i felt was disappointment

zedy

they are both worth the same, but id say keep the subaru, just keep driving it

the lexus is the most gutless car i ever had the pleasure of driving, my old 1.2 justy felt like it had more movement and fun.

what are you thinking, the lexus is an ugly sh*t car you will be gutted within a couple of days

Sorry mate ,but if you have to ask the question above ,i ask you " why " drive a scooby. I am not taking the p**s,but your car has given you no probs ,flew through its mot,and is quite tidy, so why sell it..

Dont get me wrong if you said it was unreliable and you were continually throwing money at it,and decided to buy an evo 5 , instead, then i could see where your coming from. But having owned a lexus for 3 weeks(only as a part exchange car Y reg), what sort of reaction did you think you were going to get posting that question on the worlds biggest subaru forum.

Any way its your decision as they say,still cant believe you've considered it
