SOURCE: 2006 lexus Is250 or a 2007 benz c230?
In the Edmunds Mercedes Benz C Class is a group which gives you discussions of what are the pros and cons of a Mercedes. I would research this website to give you a better price comparison of a mercedes to a lexus. A classic problem with Mercedes is the electrical problems they have had through the years, and if you do not want to spend a lot on electrical problems I would wayered towards the lexus. Lexus however has an average of 130 defects per 100 cars and the interior of these cars can be somewhat small. Repair costs for lexus are kind of expensive too.
The Merceds c230 goes for rougly $30,000 dollars. It gets 29 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg city. It has 2.5 V6 with 201 horsepower. Driver and Passenger crash ratings wore rated both 4 out of 5 and that is not bad at all. It comes with a 6 speed transmission is a manumatic so you can either up or downshift for a better drive or leave it in automatic for city. There is also 17 inch wheels which are standard. It has dual climate air and heat and 10 way seat adjustments for a very comfortable ride for driver and passenger. The build quality is also exceptional.
The lexus averages for around 23,000 to 27,000 dollars so it is a few thousand short of the bmw. It also has a 2.5 litre V6 with 204 horsepower so a little bit more hp than the bmw but only by 3 hp. It has an electric start and also good crash ratings. The braking and accleration are also reported to be real well. There is no manual with the larger motors and the backseat does not fold however. City gas mileage is 20 to 24 mpg. The highway is 28 to 30 mpg. Consumer car ratings are very high 4 and 5's and that's out of a 5 point scale so this car got high reviews in all departments. The BMW was said to be underpowered in accleartion however. It got a JD power rating of 5 on the mechancial side and that is the best rating and JD is a renouned auto reviewer so this is really good. The keyless start of the lexus make take some getting use to.
In my opinion it a toss up between german engineering and a home based American dealership. I've always liked the styling of BMW and they are autobauhn tested suspensions make them very aggressive in driving through corners and a very fun car to drive. However, the BMW is priced more and is said to be underpowered. The Lexus is cheaper and has enough power for any consumer. My best bet for you would be the Lexus. I hope this fixes your dilema and always have fun with the car you purchase!
SOURCE: lexus 2006 IS250 awd is having problem with the
it has electric power steering, take it to the dealer and ask if the service campaign has been done on the power steering rack. if not then it will be free and they will wash your car for you, fill up your gas tank and replace the steering rack and align the car. if it has been done then maybe they didnt reset the steering gear ecu.

it is located behind the glove box. the glove box has a compartment separator inside of it. you must pull up and out to remove it. the back of the glove box has a removable panel. remove it. the filter tray will have a cover over it with two snap clips or the fresh air circulator on the dash will have to be set to recirculate to open the cover for the filter.

You will need wiring diagrams, to find components
and diagnose the problem
You have 2 O2 Sensor Codes-- for Heater issues
I would look for an O2 Relay, for the heaters, once
you have a diagram to work with
Battery voltage will be to the heaters only
Don't put your meter on the black sensor
wire, you may ruin the sensor, by loading the circuit
Just work the 2 white heater wires on chassis
side, for the 12 v
Unplug the O2 Sensors, and probe the harness heater
wires only, until you get your 12v back
