Are you looking for something sporty and different but still  affordable from Lexus?
Have a look at the  cool looking 2011 IS250 F-Sport, with only 8 000 kilometres on the clock, that Gil de Klerk has  at Lexus East Rand for only R449 990.

You should be paying R510 500 for a car like this. And that is without the carbon fibre trim  they have added – but this massive saving is yours to be had by calling her on 083 324 3776 or 011 841 1800.

And you just know that when it comes to owning a Lexus you own arguably one of the best cars on the road.

HISTORY

The IS250 was ranked in 2009 as the most satisfying car to own in South Africa. It dominated the  JD Power and Associates Customer Satisfaction Index Study with the highest score in the history of the survey.

The IS250 F Sport has earned itself a reputation as the executive car where optional is standard. The rich appointment specifications of the Lexus have made the sports sedan a force to be reckoned with against established German rivals.

The Lexus sporting pedigree is being strongly established in a short space of time. Within the IS range, the big brother V8 IS-F has taken the market by storm, while the LF-A supercar gives a glimpse of a clear intentions at sporting performance.

The IS250 F-Sport is immediately recognisable from the rest of the range. This is thanks to its visual enhancements.

But core to this special car’s dynamic appeal will be the sports suspension package that lowers and stiffens the IS250’s set-up.

The handling package is further enhanced by the standard fitment of 18-inch wheels shod with 225/40 tyres at the front and 255/40 tyres on the rear.

The interior is highlighted with special aluminium accents, including sportier pedal treatment and gear knob.

PACKAGE

 The F-Sport model will utilise the six-speed paddle shift automatic transmission to complement the  package.

Inside you get a comprehensive list of standard kit such as satellite navigation with voice activation, Bluetooth, reverse camera with back-guide monitor, a 14-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and keyless go.

Safety is also among the best in class with eight airbags, including driver and passenger knee bags, and the acclaimed Lexus Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management system known as VDIM.
