There are cars, and then there are statements of intent. When Lexus arrived on the automotive scene, its mission was clear: to challenge the established European luxury giants not by copying them, but by creating a new standard of quality, reliability, and meticulous attention to detail. This was “The Pursuit of Perfection,” and it was a philosophy poured into every vehicle that wore the silver ‘L’ badge.
The second-generation Lexus IS250 was the embodiment of this philosophy. With its smooth V6 engine, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and a cabin filled with technology and craftsmanship, it was a car that offered a uniquely Japanese take on the luxury sports sedan. It wasn’t just built; it was engineered with a passion for precision.
It is this unwavering quality that makes it a special occasion when a vehicle like this arrives at our facility in Perth. Recently, a 2006 Lexus IS250 in a beautiful Azure Blue Pearl came into our care. This car was clearly cherished, a testament to its previous owner’s pride. Unfortunately, a significant rear-end collision meant its journey as a complete vehicle had to end. The cost of structural repairs, as dictated by insurance standards, simply outweighed its market value.
But for a car built with this level of integrity, the end of the road is never truly the end. It’s the beginning of a new chapter. Here at WA Auto Parts, we see this as an opportunity to preserve a legacy. Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth Western Australia. For over 15 years, we have been providing a one-stop shop for an array of used car parts at the lowest prices available. Our experience spans across Japanese, European, Australian, Korean, and American cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans, wagons, and dual cabs. We understand that a car like this Lexus isn’t just a collection of parts; it’s a repository of quality, waiting to be shared.
Join us as we take a tour of this remarkable vehicle and showcase the premium, genuine components now available to keep your own Lexus performing and feeling the way its creators intended.
The Heart of Refinement: The 4GR-FSE V6 Engine & Transmission
At the core of the IS250’s character is its powertrain. Under the bonnet lies the 4GR-FSE 2.5L V6 engine. This isn’t just an engine; it’s a testament to smooth, reliable power. The V6 configuration provides an inherent balance that four-cylinder engines struggle to match, resulting in a silky-smooth idle and a satisfying, refined hum as the revs climb. With [e.g., 175,000] well-maintained kilometres, this engine is in prime condition, ready to breathe new life into an IS250 with engine troubles.
Paired with this V6 is the intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission. It offers crisp, seamless shifts in full automatic mode, or allows the driver to take control via a sequential shift mode, offering a more engaging driving experience. This complete, tested engine and transmission package is the perfect solution for anyone needing a major drivetrain replacement, offering genuine Lexus reliability for a fraction of the cost of new parts.
The Inner Sanctum: A Cabin of Uncompromised Luxury
The interior is where Lexus truly distinguished itself. The cabin of this IS250 is in exceptional condition and offers a wealth of high-end components.
The Full Leather Experience The seats are trimmed in supple [Black/Cream] leather that has been carefully maintained. But the luxury goes beyond the material. This was a high-spec model, featuring front seats that are not only heated but also ventilated (cooled)—a premium feature that provides incredible comfort on hot Perth days. This complete set of seats is the ultimate upgrade for a lower-spec model or a perfect replacement for worn or damaged upholstery.
A Concert Hall on Wheels: The Mark Levinson® Sound System For audiophiles, this is the holy grail. This IS250 is equipped with the highly sought-after Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system. This isn’t a standard car stereo; it’s a bespoke, high-fidelity audio system designed and tuned specifically for the acoustics of the IS250’s cabin. With its powerful amplifier, numerous speakers, and deep subwoofer, it creates an immersive listening experience. Replacing this system through a dealer would be astronomically expensive. We have the complete, tested system available, offering a rare opportunity to install a true audiophile-grade setup in your vehicle.
Command and Control The centrepiece of the dash is the factory touchscreen satellite navigation unit, providing clear mapping and system controls. The driver is greeted by beautiful, clear Optitron gauges that are a signature Lexus design element. We also have all the components for the Smart Key and Push Button Start system, the dual-zone climate control unit, and the full set of interior trim pieces in their original elegant finish.
Exterior Elegance and Precision Lighting
The quality continues on the outside. Despite the rear damage, the rest of the car’s bodywork is in excellent shape.
- Factory Painted Panels: The bonnet, front guards, front bumper, and all four doors are available in their original Azure Blue Pearl paint, offering a potentially perfect match for a repair job, saving on respraying costs.
- HID Xenon Headlights: The car is fitted with factory High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon headlights. These provide a brighter, whiter, and wider beam than traditional halogen lights, significantly improving nighttime visibility and safety. This model also features AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System), which swivels the headlights into corners as you turn the steering wheel. These complex, expensive units are available and in perfect working order.
- Other Premium Features: The electric sunroof assembly, power-folding and heated wing mirrors, and LED taillights are all available.
