hi,,, i am new in here....was looking for an is200 in Sri Lanka and came across this page.....just wanted to share a little bit what i know about the LEXUS...you can find all the information about the lexus engines and years in the link below....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_IS
Was crazy about the ALTEZZA when i was back home in SL,,couple a friends owned them...when i came to UK was looking to buy a car,was about to buy a STI then reality hit,when heard prices to insure it...biggest car i could afford was an BMW320CI,ALTEZZA or IS200..Although i have driven all 3 of em my favourite remained the IS200,,,the ALTEZZA may have more power than the IS200 but the straight 6 vvti engine is so smooth and lovely to drive around...
if you service it in da right time and look after the car would easily do 200,000 miles,,one of the hardiest engines...
so 1st car i bought was a is200 2002 model used it for about 8 months sold it and bought a is200 sport 2005 model am loving it....
hope this helps.....
