Hey guys. Just joined today. Not new to cars, forums, or to Lexus, but I still promise to ask lots of stupid new guy questions since I'm new here, LOL.

Just lost a 2002 IS300 to a car crash. I bought it brand new and put all 300,000 miles on it. She had no end in sight when I got rear ended and totaled. Just picked up a 2013 AWD IS250 as a replacement car. Basic car, 77K miles, super clean. Just a DD car with zero mods.

Hello this is my 2nd Lexus, my 1st was an es300 that was wrecked a few years ago.
Anyhow, I’m back looking for insight on things I should look at right away or be on the look out in the future. The new (to me) Lexus IS 250 is really clean with 103250 miles.
thanks ahead of time!

I am ABSOLUTELY sold on Lexus IS...this car is impressive. I’ve graduated from Civics, Accords and such to Mustangs, Chargers, and Camaros. It’s amazing watching these muscle cars TRY to keep up...

Hello sleeperISl, great looking vehicle! Interested in knowing if the addition of Megan Racing strut tower bar, was beneficial with Lexus IS chassis type or more for aesthetics.

Adding the strut tower bar made a huge difference in handling around curves and such. I plan on purchasing the rear brace ASAP, because you will be able feel “sway” in the rear while the front is tight.

Thanks for followup sleeperISl, I appreciate it. Thought perhaps adding a strut bar to a vehicle equipped with a certain type of suspension (double wishbone (IS350) or Macpherson strut type suspension), would have more impact over the other. Again, nice vehicle. Is exterior color Tungsten Pearl?

I'm coming from 14 years driving a 2006 325i. There's been some growing pains, but I think once I get the ones I can sort out sorted I'm going to like this car.

Bought as a project Track car but love the ride and interior too much.

This is Lola Lexus

Honestly didn’t think it would play a DVD!

Lola’s stock wheels are in need of some love

That Back end is crying out for a little spoiler and some Vland tail lights

Hey guys. I am looking at a 2010 IS250 AWD. Going to get a PPI. What, in particular, should I look for? What is this vehicle known to have issues with?
Also, should I think about adding some coilovers?

I have owned this car for a few months and have spent some time stalking the forums but I finally decided to make an account lmao

I stand corrected. Tungsten Pearl it is.
