Lexus IS 250/300h/350 Used Car Buying Guide Malaysia 2025
Key pre-purchase checks: IS 250 — test for VSC warning light, smell the ATF (dark/burnt = neglected), ask about carbon cleaning history at 80k+ km. IS 300h — request a hybrid battery health SOC report; check inverter coolant colour (should be blue/clear, not brown). All IS — knock test rear suspension for lower arm bushing wear.
