If your GF wants heated/power seats… stick with getting the Sports Luxury. The limited Edition ‘IS200 Yellow’ was marketed as the ‘in-between’ (for lack of a better word) the Base and the Sports Luxury Models. The Yellow has the exact interior as the base model. ie. Cloth seats and trim. No Power or heated seats. But it does have sports pedals and yellow/carbon fiber steering wheel. The exterior is Yellow, fitted with Elegance kit (the Legana kit was optional as with all IS200), Polished/dark chrome 17’ wheels and a power sunroof. Oh… and the other difference is that there is a badge on the dash that tells you the build number of your car out of 100 built. So if you want to keep your GF happy…. Stick with the Sports Luxury. You’ll get more lovin’ with warmer seats. See this following article: http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0687/article.html |

http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0687/article.html Third Last paragraph. Seems to read that it comes from factory like that......
so you're saying having it optioned up/down to include/exclude is out of question? How bout the aftermarket in used parts? Im sure its not too hard for 'Yellow' owner to source a used leather interior. |

I've a yellow and just came with the front lip, carbon steering wheel, leather seats and sunroof. I don't mind...it doesn't get that cold in Winter in Sydney. I would rather have a cooling seat for summer as when those leather seats (black) get some sum...you get burns just seating on it. Lexus has a way of selling Limited Edition and having options avaible to add on to it before the final purchase - like the legana kit. |

Thanks for starting this post STM. Hi all, Thanks for your feedback so far, the owner has confirmed that his Yellow IS200 has cloth seats and NO heated seats (hence fails my GF's compulsory criteria) So I guess my search continues. Im sure I'll find the right one with patience and assistance from you folks. Cheers, Ray. |

Hi Ramyo Have a look at this one: http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...#124;1&trecs=17 This was actually my car which I sold to this guy to make room for my IS250. It seems to meet your criteria except for the price but when you consider he paid me $25500 for it in October 06 with 86Kms, then I am sure you will be able to bargain with him. If you want to know anything about the car let me know. Cheers |
