There are cars, and then there are declarations of intent. When Lexus arrived on the car scene, it was with a clear-cut purpose: to take down Europe’s vaunted luxury kings not by copying them but by establishing a new standard for quality, reliability and obsessively detailed craftsmanship. This was “The Pursuit of Perfection,” and it was a philosophy instilled into every vehicle that bore the silver ‘L’ badge.
The second-gen Lexus IS250 was the physical embodiment of that school of thought. With its creamy V-6 engine, rear-wheel-drive deportment and a cabin rich in technology and craft, it was a vehicle with an unmistakably Japanese spin on the luxury sports sedan. This was no mere construction project; this was engineered with a love of precision.
And, it is the rarity of this that makes it a birthday party when one such car arrives at our Perth workshop. We have added a lovely 2006 Lexus IS in stunning Azure Blue Pearl to the fleet, Its been with us for a month or so now. The previous owner’s care for this car is evident. Sadly that was the end of its career as an intact automobile when a great rear-ender occurred. Its market value was just trumped by the cost of structural repairs as mandated by insurance standards.
But for an automobile constructed with this level of robustness, the end of the road is never really the end. A new chapter is opening up. For us at WA Auto Parts, this is a chance to keep the legacy alive. Welcome to W.A Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller and wrecker in Perth Western Australia.

The Heart of Refinement: The 4GR-FSE V6 Engine & Transmission
The heart of the IS250’s identity is its engine. Powering the beast is the 4GR-FSE 2.5 liter V6. This is more than an engine, however – it’s a case for smooth, dependable power. The V6 layout inherently brings both balance and aural enjoyment to something that the typical four-cylinder finds tough to match, with a velvety idle followed by a subtle running hum when you begin raising the revs. Running well and no rattles with [eg;] 175k oil changed klms on the clock this motor is in excellent condition to revive a low k IS250 that was having engine problems.
This V6 works with a smart 6-speed automatic. It delivers sharp, smooth shifts in full automatic mode or, at the driver’s preference, it can deliver quicker manual shifts operation with a sequential shift mode for a more dynamic driving experience. This is guaranteed to be a good used engine as each and every one of these engines has been thoroughly tested before shipm-ent.Factory rebuilt Lexus Engine with all new parts.
Sanctuary of the Sea: A Cabin Redefined
The real differentiation for Lexus was its interior. This IS250’s interior is in phenomenal condition and loaded with luxury.
The Full Leather Experience The seats are swathdin [Black/Cream] leather that feel smooth to the touch and has been very well cared after. But the luxury isn’t just material. This was the high-spec model with not just heated but also ventilated (cooled) front seats – a luxury that does wonders for your comfort on those hot Perth summer days. These full set of seats are the best upgrade for a lower spec model or replacement to worn and damaged upholstery.
A Concert Hall on Wheels: The Mark Levinson® Sound System For audiophiles, this is the dream. This Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system is a highly coveted feature in this IS250. This is no ordinary car stereo; it’s a custom-designed, high-end audio setup that has been engineered for this car and tuned for the acoustics of the IS250’s interior. It’s a powerful amplifier, lots of speakers and a deep subwoofer that ensures your sound isn’t just down to earth – it comes from below the ground. The cost to replace this system through a dealer would be astronomical. The entire proven system is now available, which presents a unique opportunity to add an audiophile quality system to your vehicle.
Command and Control The star of the dash is the factory touchscreen satellite navigation unit providing map clarity and system control. The driver is immediately greeted by pretty, clear Optitron gauges that have become a hallmark Lexus feature. We even have the Smart Key and Push Button Start and dual-zone climate control unit along with the full interior trim pieces all in their classy original finish.
