Lexus IS 250 visual inspection
The neighbour called from Ekaterinburg, asked to see the Lexus. I always say, Throw off the link to the ad, I'll call him MYSELF, and know there is meaning to watch it, or even look no meaning, not to drive You here. Threw the link. Description below...
The car is in good condition. Title the end of 2005. Purchased in the Showroom in 2006. All-wheel drive. Color mother of pearl. Luke. Heating, air cooling seats, etc. Rich equipment. Suspension, box, engine in excellent condition. Took the diagnosis of. dealer. The accident was not involved. All the glass family, all the stickers on the doors in place. Security all intact. Of defects: a small dent on the trunk lid (paint is not necessary, in the sky, by the device, on the passenger door handle no button Keyless entry ( issue price of 1500 rubles, will help with the purchase). New winter tires, summer in good condition. Will help cheap to buy new summer tires, 17 alloy wheels "OZ" original, in perfect condition, was standing on the same Lexus. Legally clean. PTS original. Chelyabinsk.
Photos as usual look? But I haven't look at the pictures especially as they can be old, and so on...
Start with the fact that the drive in it full. Imported machine from America, the run on flap 130, 000 miles, rack and died in the trunk, but not replaced. Standard issue bat? Crash? How to check when buying?
Machine 10 years, what do you want? Of course broken. From what I know the face is all painted, 2 wings and hood, TV and glasses NO.
Thickness checked?
— No did not check.
I have a question in your mind as he realized that not painted if not checked? Super eyes? But to say it did not... A word — what do you want the car for 10 years, I am always wary.
Hodowca says alive, but the rail should be replaced... Rubber 2 sets. The machine is on E1, but sold in Chelyabinsk.
I called the customer, explained everything, and that make sense to watch it especially not. You can check CARFAX, but let the Wines to throw! But customers still decided to come look!
Met in Chelyabinsk today! With the CARFAX printout in hand! And it says, brought from America, mileage 47900(about writing). Was beaten in the face, the security remained intact. Then written, the STATUS is RESTORED, and sent to Russia...
Drives A Lexus. Get a feeler gauge and poke and prod the roof, it's 180 µm — that is, crash! Ask at once-THEN it makes SENSE to LOOK? Say see.
Least showed it to the roof of 180 µm. Other elements of 300-350 microns. The wings of the front half of the wing 500, the second half will not be measured, and this means a thickness of 2.5 mm+. Rear wing left, 2.5 mm+. Trunk lid 2.5 mm+. In the end we get. Colored Polycom machine, with a set of elements which are not even pomeryayutsya...
Open the lid of the trunk, look in the spare compartment, there is a sealant not a native, underneath rust, in the trunk of the water. A frequent problem of bad ass cars. Lights putrescine temperature. The car is White Pearl, rear bumper just white without perlik. Brake discs rear is still like but wear big. Front replaced. The wheel rims, oblazit.
PAINTED IT ALL 100% IN RUSSIA. Painted with dust a lot. Both bumpers repainted, the roof too... all in good time.
The WHEEL. It either replaced or pulled. Rather pulled, seams odd I personally do not like... not like the Lexus original... and too a new wheel for the machine 2005, which claimed mileage 130 000 km! Yes, it is km and not miles!
d-cd.net/a029ba2s-960.jpg width=960 height=720 itemprop=contentUrl>
Seat. Do not pull on 130 000 km, taking into account that the driver is skinny and weighs probably 80 lbs. In the after the body clear. What a body, and this machine. no body, no anything else. Not always the case, but practice shows it! With proper care and a real one owner, leather just starting to zachariadis. Compare with other Lexus and examined me earlier . I would say that a black Lexus was better! 
Button and door Trim. Button greasy... door Trim, all the joints, scratches etc. Apparently followed the car bad...
Pedal. Not Wycherley, and may have replaced the pads. But the handbrake(nonic) potent already, and the hole in the carpet does not give the feeling of a small run! Yes and it says about the attitude of the car. and such INSTANCES can not be taken... 
The gear lever doesn't look good. If you consider that it's automatic, and it does not need to pull back and forth every second, it becomes clear mileage(indirectly). And the average beard has already rubbed so that you can see bare plastic. All this silver paint vecherkina...
Icon driving lights wiped. Was not a lot of out of focus, but it is clear that she is distressed...Indirectly speaks for the mileage. 
Front tomance sweats. No rear reflectors. The owner said that on the sink came off... Well, they all say, sell these... on the passenger door handle no button Keyless entry, it was immediately written in the ad. Not critical schools, but not nice and their repair will take time and money...
Roof as I wrote previously repainted. And it was not in vain. It began to rust near the windshield... And that means again need to paint! The hatch did not open, but perhaps there are also shoals or rust. To understand why the roof painted? I don't do that... and do it a lot, remove the rack, look for seams... and so to be completely sure, it is necessary to take a great job, and is easier to get away from this car and look for another car!
The passenger seat is also not new...
The PRICE for this car 620 000. But the real price of the car, about 400 000 rubles. In fact, even less. Let me explain why.
Americans already illiquid. Lexus with the same body type even more so. Full drive in Russia is not on them, it's extra problems. The machine requires investments. To replace the rack, to by put the button on the handle, replace the rear brake discs with pads, you need to paint 2 bumpers(mother of pearl is not cheap, in color to get hard). And to deal with minor other problems, but it is not known what transmission the engine and chassis! I posted only a visual inspection! Which often it ends!
Actually, the car had no body... And this is the most precious thing that is in the car
When talking with the Owner, Lex, I said that you know everything for the car, that just is not told about everything?
— Not all of you are with a thickness gauge either, someone will take it!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CHOOSING BU CAR! DO NOT SKIMP ON THE DIAGNOSIS NEVER!
READ, STUDY CARS. KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE BUYING A CAR, AND NOT LEARN ON MY EXPERIENCE, AS PEOPLE WITHOUT...
And I will continue to look at different BU cars, and posting on Your review!
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ONE WHO WILL BUY THIS LEXUS AND TAKE HIM GRIEF, WILL ALL SCREAM THAT LEXUS TO PUT IT MILDLY A BAD CAR!
Why don't you spread a car that look? you are in Moscow looking for cars? often ask me is who in Moscow will choose the car! Can you send, BUT WITH the CONDITION THAT ON DISPLAY WILL be MACHINES to EXHIBIT, WRITE IN the BLOG. TO SEE WHAT IS REALLY NORMAL CARS CHOOSE! think about it. answer in PM then
Everything is accessible and clearly written. Nice to read 👍👍👍 pleasure to read. Thank you.
why does the thickness gauge. belt and pad enough to continue watching. if made, what spare parts and consumables for the machine?
All the thickness is on the Internet! I don't know the thickness, are investigated during the inspection!
that would be a post about what is the thickness of the original paint coating each manufacturer. And the devices exist, there is, and the thickness of the factory coating nobody knows
for its manufacturer all in different ways. the variation in the thickness will always be great....
there are details more sachikonye or polished they will show less! BUT less is not more!
All perfectly described, but I have a question, what values should show the thickness?!They should be the same everywhere(assuming the paint is original) or its manufacturer differently?
Because have chosen a Toyota picnic, it looks ideal, but I know that there are pitfalls, I would like to learn more about the values of the thickness.
Avtopoisk74
ahah))) there is some truth in your words)) a very large proportion))
And write-off mileage is a no brainer to test a Chinese device for$50

That's what's sad. Here, for example, that most indulge in different citizens from Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent and other Africa. And this is cultural and national.
And local hitrovan is calculated quite simply by the combination of residence, type of housing, type of prodavan etc Typical rogue, a youngster or a loser in life, slovenly, lives in a cheap condos or cheap house in a bad neighborhood. Here when announced watch, it is often not an area of the city. In some zheppu I will not raise not to go, but even to call. According to the announcement everything is already clear in advance.
Sometimes some W%ne cars safer than in the areas of elite housing.
I am aware of. Because we have either the sleeping area or the centre of the\outskirts of the city. No Chinatown, no :)

Most myakotka that a fair amount of reading this, most likely, exactly the same moves on okatannyh frankensteins with the curve three times the mileage and if it comes time to drain the trough, then just twist the mileage, and then will play up and remain silent as is described here Padawan.
Thank you for another detailed and interesting review. Well written and to the point.
On a personal note: the holes in the mats are 100 thousand mileage. But seeing as the rest of the details, it is clear that mileage is significantly more.
Mileage somewhere in the 250-300 thousand in my opinion. The owners of the crap he was sure.
Run from 250 and above, most likely above. Leather on the steering wheel — not native. Price is close to the bottom bracket of the market and, most likely, this car will sell for the money.
Alarming broken hole for manual unlocking korobase — so not worked on the ignition repaired.
Yes. this particular no! and so every second threatened that the type of client taken away
me one question interests, Chelyabinsk outbid you in the evening in the alley waiting?)))))
Great review. The wheel kolhagen, and such good pictures, and the quality of the material is low. Damn, this cart ushatali.
thank you. but in General. somewhere there is data on such regulations for model cars?
prompt pzhl the thickness of the factory paint for Japanese cars not older than 5 years.
Because will not buy one a car with visible schools of painting...
will not be sold!
and not mother of pearl colored some where.
Just wondering why such confidence that was painted in Russia? signed on a couple of channels on YouTube is American, where we do automotive body, they duck after blacks things undone, we got on the street with spray paint better bezopasnye

For example?
My friends BMW different generations. E39, E90,E60, F10 and F30. All except E39 bought new from the cabin. Best skin 39 body type, more similar to natural. The rest of the slag concrete.the feelings. Stretch sitting at 50 thousand, it looks awful. The bad F30 better than the E90,E60, F10 more or less-but not the fountain still.All BMW with average trim and not top-end motors. It's all dermontin, nothing natural there. I had a Lexus IS200, there was still natural.200 thousand miles and as the ideal, only little color is lost. About the new Lexus isn't saying, I think the skin there is also no already. And about the top configuration, BMW and Lexus, too, and they make natural.
What question, such answer. What more do you want?! Immediately I was deployed to ask.
Well, the photo shows that the muzzle is crooked collected, and ass too, the lights and the trunk lid is not converging...
Really like Your article. As the first came across — I immediately signed up. And not even all read. Please post about Your thickness. I wonder what use and why they. Thank you.
he said that the mileage in km converted! and the mileage in km 130 000 km.
body no unfortunately... like many other things... on Board diagnostics did not go
130,000 miles so about 210 000 km, so the mileage can not say this is twisted. And judging by the seats it seems to be true. Under 300 driver is normally torn. And so to the eye 210 of 260 km so much is not defined. The wheel altered it is not critical with this mileage, normal owners to alter, someone is limited to the Chinese braid. Someone with a ragged braids goes that to change 250-400 RUB issue price and even the sale of not to bother. All depends on the person. The main problem, as I understand it the body. In General, all divided, subscribe to you.

The article is interesting. BUT!
I remember one funny story, the witness which was me. Last year I went with the boss to show the car to potential buyers. White Lexus LS, if I am not mistaken, 2009. Machine boss bought new from the official dealer in Kiev. The car was never in an accident, the body, and actually as the cabin and podkapotka — no questions asked.
The car came to see what is "cigani" on a new Patrole. One of them came to sell "Lech", I got the thickness that there poked them in the door, and firmly says — "crash," they say.
The chief rose, and said, "measure me your new patrol", man measure up — says, "mdaa, too, that is not so."
The essence of the fable is that these devices do not always give true information. Anyway, I now they are like that with caution.
A hex to throw off the price! But I always host the show, and poke the machine to make it clear
If spackle more than 2.5 mm and not change it all so clear)
For fun knock back and close where it does not exist and all becomes clear)

Options come in all sorts. And so it is easier not to get involved. What 590-600? There is really need a few hundred fold. And what's the point with this instance of Tinker?! Is that the latest Lexus on the planet?

Not yet paid. But at least not silent)) Sometimes the General approaches of the channel. For example, the old Nissany rust faster than the others.

Dude, I know you hurt. When I went to the pelvis, I told everyone that the pelvis is the best car. When I drove an old car, I told everyone that the old car is a luxury. Then I began to notice that each about your Peugeot says so, and the other that his father and FF2 is better than no car. After I stopped, so to speak.
Tell me 5 years ago that Honda civic 92g. it's a dump, I would have at least a finger bitten off :D And here, too, I understand, poured a wheelbarrow of shit that you like so much. Maybe it's your first car :) and if not, then still very you like her :)
What now? I understand that the civic is the last century and there are much cooler cars and a class above and with other existing technologies.
On account of the dude with the thickness, he was partly right. Is to accept, just accept the fact that people who can't even clean the interior, and the Mat swap, he and the other will not bother. Look, he's even a rail that can't change. From here he writes that a Lexus is better to avoid and he's right. The more you look, the owner of the car said "— Not all of you are with a thickness gauge either, someone will take it!" In my opinion it is clear that he (the owner) just wants to throw it. Of those hands to take a car is not necessary.
Discovered your article. Very interesting. Thank you.
And Yes. People these buckets save you money! While others buy these buckets.

Meaning what to watch when the exterior renovations to the already huge?
even if the engine and box also have the problem
you think you can throw up to 300K? when asked for +600

Meet on clothes. What is the meaning of serviceable cars if the body is in shit and it makes sense to spend time for further diagnosis.
Comment has been deleted
Why do full-depth diagnosis of the vehicle, if it is clear that the car is all painted with spackle, roof rust and a lot of elements need to repaint again? This host is a clean rider. And the customer probably needed if not 100% unpainted car, which really 2005 V. find very difficult, if possible, and just well kept and not uvolennyj and without significant investment. And buy this to have a lot of money, time, nerves... Nah is it necessary? The only Lexus is left?

So the author is not watching it live, told the customer that it is possible not to look, but they insisted.
The Mat is not an indicator of tissue I stopped using after 8 months of driving use anymore.
on the market two fools — one sells the other buys... Lexus sells person who hopes that will take him straight without inspection only podmahnuv DCT live in the car...so he waits Polupanov without thickness...without the eyes, brain, friends... in short, deaf-blind mutes lovers of Lexus... he's a stupid person but fuck it — another problem if here's buy find((( demand popodaet offer and poyavyatsya even more to sell with the shifter at the normal price of the car...buy a car wisely do not give your money so Prodavam
PI.Dec! These Lexus not to sell, and once in the scrap! Kraynyak son as the first (training ) apparatus)
in blocks is not stored, the maximum that you can see is the loss of communication with the blocks and when it is shrunken to zero battery
Modest claimed mileage! And Toyota has no such tabs in VAG — different email. blocks cars register mileage ?
With interest I read all your posts.
However I would like to add: the handle of the machine is not always an indicator of mileage, we have a Fabia with a robot mileage 96000, skin started to peel another 20 thousand ago. And all because I have a habit to keep a hand on the handle ALWAYS))
and what the three BMW should cost more? :)
I took in 2014, with real mileage 60K (Count is!) but only the more expensive of these sums order.
To find a good is extremely difficult, we were looking for but really have found a friend for 680 with mileage of 110, but it was 2015, now on the Lexus unjustified price tags 3-ka BMW is cheaper.
A little hard to believe. Passed it. Two years ago 08 year of release for ~800K were already corpses. And the funny thing is that all the mileage is 60-80k.
600 do, you can not find the dead dealer copy, but really from the market starting from 700
interesting — how "American" — became illiquid automatically ?))) I'm certainly not arguing that this is a run 250+, apparently what was happening to him )))) and for four-wheel drive — a lot of stuff at the showdown, the difference between one — on-rear-wheel drive it will be taking the car which drove on to mother Russia, and all-wheel drive (by the way it's partly an automatic transmission and only front suspension) will contract and cut from Vladivostok, where the price is lower at times, and on our roads not esdev)) but wait for a week longer)
price 350-400, no more. well, maybe just because of all wheel drive another 50 put would
