Welcome, check out the guides here in the faq to give you an idea of what to look for, if your not too fussed with either n/a or tt first drive both and see what you think, it really depends what your after, the n/a will be a fair bit quicker than the is200 and the tt even more so, so it's dependent on what your happy with and if you plan to leave it pretty standard, I wouldnt necessarily just hold out for a low mileage example, go by the condition ;) and you would be best off buying a car from a member on here.

 

Good luck.

Yeah, how old is the Lexus. After driving an IS200 I am not sure that the NA will feel a whole lot quicker Tbh. I have an NA and ?I love it, I think a TT would get me into too much trouble and would also worry the crap out of me with the repair costs if anything goes wrong. On the other hand, there are a lot of members on here that will swear by the TT. The performance is amazing.

 

It all depends on waht you want from a car. I wanted a bit of power, reliability and to look fantastic!! Which mine does...:D

 

If power is a big issue.......go TT.

For 5.5k you should be able to get a very good example of an N/A but would be struggling to get a tidy TT. Ive got an N/A and love it. Like Havard said its pretty quick, reliable and looks great. You can always do a turbo conversion or sell up and get a TT if you want more power. Im currently considering a NA-T conversion (for the future) as Ive almost got the supe looking how I really want it to.
