PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION 2005 Lexus IS 250 SE 2.5 V6 petrol, rare manual, silver exterior with grey leather interior. 117,000 miles, 5 owners, full service history and MOT until 22 July 2026. The car has been well maintained during my ownership and is generally in good condition for its age, with only minor age-related wear (a few small dents, stone chips and light surface scratches). There is no rust on the bodywork, and the underside appears clean. Unfortunately, after a service in February where oil pressure briefly dropped, the engine developed a knocking noise, likely indicating bottom-end bearing wear. The car still starts, runs and drives, but the knock is noticeable, particularly above 2000 rpm. There are no warning lights on the dashboard. Because of this, the car is being sold as spares or repair / project and will likely require an engine rebuild or replacement. Aside from the engine issue, the car has had several recent upgrades and maintenance items: Aisin clutch fitted less than 5,000 miles ago New battery Aftermarket wireless Apple CarPlay screen fitted (designed specifically for the IS250 and professionally installed - original infotainment included) VLand LED headlights and taillights with startup animation professionally installed (original lights included) Two keys Service book stamped to 66k miles, with invoices/receipts thereafter I have owned the car for nearly 2 years (since 103k miles) and serviced it three times during that period, always using Shell V-Power fuel The interior is in good condition, and the gearbox, clutch, suspension and interior electronics all work well. This would make a good project, engine swap candidate or spares car for someone mechanically minded. Located near Blackpool, Lancashire. Open to sensible offers - priced to reflect the engine issue. No warranty given or implied.
