For u to be thinking about Is250 ..u obviously have more than a few change to spare......so go ahead and buy...

.my own advice to anyone that wants to buy a car is.......can u afford the engine and gear when they decide to show u pepper.?

.....is250 engine shouldn't be less than 400-500k... Gear seff na die.....

. All other parts na small change..like 40k, 70k, 25k, 150k...

AWD

Get the es350 07-12 instead, that is250 is in a class of its own. It’s like maintaining a Benz , the parts are on the high side. Example compare the price of its steering rack to that of other Lexus models that share parts with regular Toyota , same with its condenser, compressor and other parts

Yes 2022 4GR was 100k , 2gr was 350k while 1GR is around 600k. The 2.5L V6 4GR isn't expensive though then I heard its because it wasn't a sort after engine

Yes the engines and gear of toyota nah still die bros, I never absolve the brand of high handedness just that the IS250 engine was dirt cheap for its age then, I am not certain of the transmission price sha back then

It's an expensive car to drive around in. Maintenance could turn you into an auto mechanic as you want to do it yourself when the costs take their toll on you and that is where you come by a competent mechanic!

400k naira abi Ghanaian cedis sir?
250 engine now sells for nothing less than 850k

Anything engine is costly now. And the sells has drop drastically as more people now opted for engine rebuild. Before if you consider the cost of new toks engine and cost of rebuilding it just insignificant. So people would prefer to buy.

But today people now prefer rebuilding
