Hello all. Just picked up my first Lexus; a Black 2010 RWD IS350. It has the stock, split 5 spoke wheels, no spoiler and a black & cream interior. The car only has 5200 miles and I think I got it for a steal; $29.5K plus $900 in taxes and registration fees. The car is great and makes enough power for me to not upset me of the very few mods available for 2nd Generation ISs. My current vehicles are a heavily modified '02 RSX-S and a busted *** '98 Sentra. I'll be parting with the RSX in a few weeks.
I'm still considering buying the FlyAudio headunit since mine didn't come with Navigation.
I'll be departing Guam for California in April. I hope to trade it for a 2011 dealer demo for little to no out of pocket cash before I leave here, if possible. I like the features and have seen the Youtube clips about FlyAudio, but I love the idea of OEM when it's available. Whether I have the car for a few months or until it breaks, I see myself very happy with the purchase. Glad to be on the boards.

1.)2006 is250
2). AWD
3.) Blue Onyx Pearl
4.) 17s stock
5.) no wing
6.) Light gray
7.) I had a 08 BMW 328i coupe six speed with sports package only had 33k on it. Car was nice everywhere I went I was complimented but I had that car in the shop once a week. I needed a reliable car and I know lexus is built to last. My BMW warranty ran out today and I was not gonna pay like 4 grand for extended warranty. I picked my is250 up today has 65k on it. Car is fully loaded nav ect. I paid 19k and I have a 3 yr 100k warranty. Only issue I noticed was the rims are all peeling. I am looking to put a nice rim on it anyway, or just get them redone and put the eibach prokit springs on it.
8.) I am from Newark Delaware next to U of D
I am having issues exporting my iphone 4 contacts into the phonebook. It says it is doing it on the gps screen but I waited 15 mins and still was not done so I gave up. Anyway I love the car I wanted a is350 but when I went to buy it they sold it

Greetings from Lithuania!
1. IS 220D
2. RWD
3. Golden Almond Metallic
4. 16s OEM
5. No spoiler
6. Black
7. It's a 100% stock 2008 IS, with the rear parking system and the OEM Lexus bluetooth handsfree. I bought this car, because I needed a daily car for the winter, since I am building my turbo Honda project, but I fell in love with it! I am planning to get 18' wheels, lower it with coilovers, maybe an OEM spoiler..
Anyway, most of you probably never heard of a diesel IS, well it's pretty popular here in Europe, so in short it has a Toyota D4D 2.2litre turbo diesel engine with 6 speed manual transmission, it does 177HP and gets up to 100km/h (60mp/h) in 8.8sec.. Not that bad considering that it uses only 6l/100km (47MPG) combined. So that's pretty much it.. I'll let the pictures do the talking:
