  • Car for Azubi

    Servus, look for a car for the training. My journey routes: Driving back and forth: 80km Driving back and forth to the vocational school: 200km With private trips probably about 25k kilometers per year. I was recommended by a known Opel Corsa D, because here the steering chain would last for a long time. Depending on the condition this gives for 4-8 thousand euros. Had looked at me in a YT video by showing how often a brand goes into the workshop. Toyota was with the But if I look for used Toyota, they start at 8k, or look a lot worse than the Corsa D, so very old and so. Now I found this Lexus, that is Toyota. But I have no idea of cars. My question is, why is it so cheap with 100k kilometers and 180 hp?https://www.autoscout24.de/…/…d81a-d8fa-487d-b3f1-25f85c82fae4?… Do I overlook defects other than the crack in the driver’s seat? Does it cost a lot in maintenance, spare parts War Is this model special for Macken? The net is heavy manual circuit, (our family car Renault Scenic also has, I think at least), and an exhaust gas recirculation valve. Shouldn’t be a problem with regular cleaning. For these routes the Lexus would be far superior to the road position and performance, i.e. everything, the Corsa D, or similar. If it is nothing else, other proposals with car brands or special models? Didn’t want me on a ve Thank you for every answer.

  • BMW 530i less consumption than Lexus GS Hybrid !!!

    Finally, the engineers show that even a normal petrol engine without a hybrid can be more economical and thus more environmentally friendly. And that with such great driving performance.http://magazin.autoscout24.de/…/mz_ng_2007_10_bmw5erfacelift.asp With this BMW people have found a powerful answer without the still very cumbersome hybrid system. No space loss, no weight increase and berry-strong anyway. Lexus, attracts you warm, so BMW can make a big deal in America. Throw against you !!! And in D there will be many to think if the somewhat unsightly (tasting question) Lexus is really still interesting because of the alleged eco-advantage. My rating: A thick 1 : 0 for BMW (Even if I am not a BMW fan)

  • Value loss IS 220d

    Hello Lexus Gemeinde, my current leasing contract is about to expire, and I’m back from the Wall…. I happened to see IS, and I liked Auto right away. Just the question arises how high is the loss of value at Lexus? Have some offers from German manufacturers: for VW Passat (list price 42 500€) results in 48 months of financing with residual rate 350€ gross incl. service contract. for A3 (list price 40 800€) Leasing rate at 48 months and 10000 km p.a. 360€ gross. Was today at Lexu IS 220d Sport (list price 36 650€) costs with special leasing for business customers with the same driving performance (10 000km p.a.) and the same term 48 months proud 476€ monthly!!! How can Lexus with such sales strategy achieve the targeted high sales figures. Is really with Lexus the value loss so high (then I understand the high rate-someone must pay this value loss, or did I just “falchen” factory buyer. Must say right away, the service was excessive hnet. lG made-in-…

  • LEXUS: future models

    Good afternoon, with an interesting article about future model introductions at Lexus. Even if the article refers to the Australian market, you will find broad information about what some of us also expect in Euopa:http://www1.autotrader.com.au/…/59D124ADF8528A6CCA2572C90016B851 Who doesn’t want to read the whole article: LS600Lh – October 2007 (right name: LS600h and LS600h L) LX570 – January 2008 (not in Europe) IS500 – First helped 2008 RX MkIII – Second help 2008 LF-A supercar – 2008 GS facelift/GS460 – 2008 SC facelift/SC460 – 2008 JX compact SUV – 2009 (IS Crossover – small RX ?) IS Coupe-Convertible – Late 2009/early 2010 IS hatch – 2011 (sometimes also called BS ?) GS MkIV – 2012 IS MkIII – 2012 The question whether the GS350 (AWD and RWD) are also offered in Europe and, for example, replace the GS300 remains unexplained. What seems to be confirmed, however, is the conversion of the V8 to the new 4.6l at the GS430 – as it was expected. Gruss , Lex P.S: Mk = Mark (model generation): motorization(s) unknown

  • IS 220d

    Hello Lexus municipality, after 30 years Opel, I get on an IS 220d next week, I am a little skeptical already, because of the space offered it is small, and the driving comfort ??? I had the Toyo exchanged for Bridgestone, I hope a good decision. Has someone with it experience. Consumption, let me be surprised. Is there experience with organic diesel?? Lexus says no, but I don’t think that is so relevant, because they secure themselves to all sides. sse can I drive??? What about a Power Box?? Experience values??? Thank you in advance, omega7 If everything fits, I change the name

  • my lexus LS 600h hybrid consumes 17 liters!!!!

    Recently I received my LS 600h with hybrid, after I was assured when I bought it, thanks to hybrid this would consume significantly less. I alternately drive city + highway without squeaky tires but rarely come under 17 liters. My brother has a Mercedes S55AMG and this consumes only 14 liters without hybrid. Was that just a bad advertising gag of Lexus? I would like to give back the car. Does anyone else have experience??? Greeting Theodor

  • Lexus Europa Chef confirms “compact lexus” for Europe

    I thought I would link this article here, because we have always speculated about whether one is coming or not…http://www.wiwo.de/…/ let’s see exactly what will go into series at the end. What do you think?

  • From December more trunk for LS and GS

    http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/hxcms_article_516069_13987.hbs Lexus: More trunk for LS and GS Due to the drive system, the hybrid versions of the Lexus GS and Lexus LS saloons had a smaller trunk than their conventionally driven sister models. Lexus has now picked up here. The nickel-metal hydride battery modules (NiMH) installed in the rear of these Lexus models claimed part of the trunk. The GS 450h now has a boot volume of 330 litres. However, the floor compartment is no longer required for models with optional, active chassis stabilizers and the boot volume is limited to 310 litres. In the LS series, the GS 450h has a capacity of 330 litres. The GS 450h has a capacity of 310 litres. For the 2009 model year, Lexus ruffled the boot volume for all drive variants. The spare wheel, which has been carried in a compartment under the boot, is replaced by a tyre repair kit. The Lexus LS 460 with conventional drive now offers 565 liters of volume in the basic equipment. The LS 460 with electrically adjustable, ventilated comfort seats and a separate automatic air conditioning system in the rear now comes to 480 liters of storage space. In the models LS 600h and LS 600hL, the trunk v ******************************************************************************** **** Greetings. Mathis is the first version of the LS 600h. The LS 600h is now available in both versions for 390 liters of transport.

  • LEXUS IS220d / Toyota Avensis D-4D Cat (177PS)

    Hello, I wanted to know if someone has already compared the Lexus to the Toyota resp. has already driven (driving behavior etc.)? What about the turbo hole so often mentioned? The Lexus is a bit weaker than the Toyota. I find something sad. Not that I want to make the Toyota bad now, but I think that you are more used to the engines (I don’t know how to express it) of a premium brand or however, are a little stronger than the series models I was looking at the IS220d yesterday and was positively surprised by the vehicle, both from the outside and from the interior. I can’t understand different reviews in the forums about the vehicle. Sure, no vehicle is perfect and that vehicle has different advantages than another. I drive an E46 320d myself and it’s not as reliable and so on as is often claimed. Thanks in advance for every review…

  • Is Lexus a brand with style?

    Hello Lexusfreunde, A few weeks ago my wife and I visited the Lexus dealer in Munich to take a test ride with the Lexus RX400h as agreed. I already reported on the experiences we could make with the vehicle, today the style is on. After we had gone through the light-flooded ambience of the sales room and had registered us the friendly lady at the counter, we were greeted by the responsible seller. A person in whom – w the characteristics of the English substatement were incarnated in the course of the day as well as the ability to listen, to understand and to argue objectively. We found these abilities all the more remarkable because I did not save with consistent criticism after the test drive. Because in no case did I want to miss the amenities I am used to from my Citroen in the future. And the loss list was long. The friendly welcome in this house ended with my message – or I should say better – with our promise that we will come to the successor of the RX 400h in 2009. Oh, what an abyss is opening when I turn to the German Nobel brand “Mercedes”! I have been driving my Mercedes SLK for eight years now – and every time I bring the roadster to the inspection, the lady at the counter asks me: “Truck or car?” For me it is incomprehensible anyway, like the Mercedes brand with its Mischa When I came with my brand-new Citroen C5 to my Upper Bavaria dealer to activate the emergency call function, the addressed stumpy man suddenly turns around at the counter and yells at the workshop with 120 phon: “DU SEPP, WIA KEEPS WITH THE NOTRUFKNOPF? What’s completely impossible with the Mercedes dealer, because he would irritate her: “Truck or car?” “??? – No, SLK!” The Citroen dealer would shock her: “DU SEPP, WIA GIVES THE INSPECTION?” What are your experiences? – Is Lexus a brand with style?
