Hi its not for me its for my friend lol.We went to look at a red is300 in bradford for it and wanted 2995 for it on a 51 plate with 50 thou on the clock.It had no tax and test on it and was an auto,loads of dings in the body work and water ingress in the passenger head light.My mate was looking at trading his std looking green lexus is200 against it and the bloke was looking at my friends car uming and arghing at it and said no lol.My mates lexus was mint compared to this red is300 he only wanted it because it was a is300 they are surposed to be rare or something

Not herd of that,someone on the is200 forum had his "cams chipped" lol
Basically someone adjusted the cam timing so the vvt came in at a lower rpm which sounds aload of bollocks to me!!
