Nice cars.....just make sure it's not an ex police vehicle......it would be very very tired with many replaced panels and parts 😆

Have you looked in the boot? Not the biggest.

Def not ex five O and yeah i know the boots not the biggest. Its taken me ages to find one with a decent spec so just taking the plunge! I know MPG won't be amazing... i currently have a IS250 V6 sport so it'll (hopefully) be jump in performance and MPG.
Most fourms say the petrols are good for issues...

Oil feed pipe on rear of turbo
Wishbones
Eats shocks
Buy shares in Esso and Goodyear
Spec wise they are weird - SE gets all the Toys but stupid armchair seats
Sport gets seats but no toys
Be wary as many have had stuff swapped around to suit

I had one it was fan bloody tastic, 20-25mpg is a bit painful though. They really bloody shift too especially if you get 4wd and a remap.....

Just drove back in it! My god it shifts. Wasn't expecting it to move that well! MPG is comparable to the Lexus i've just got out of so happy on day one 😀

It has an illustrious predecessor, the fabulous 850 T5-R:
