New to the VIP scene picked this up as a daily 2 weeks ago.. Building a mid 600hp civic!
2007
IS250
RWD
DSM
Stock 18" (powder coating them satin black next week)
Stock rear spoiler
Cashmere/Black interior
Not sure on the options I think it's just a base model
Lowered on Tein springs and has a carbon fiber front lip
Took it to the dealer to get the AFS light fixed and they broke the carbon lip putting it into their car wash so they are buying a new one
( it was cracked when I bought it two weeks ago!

Last night JM Lexus called me. Earlier this week I had paid them a visit interested in the 4th of July deals they had going on IS 250's, but left not having made a deal. I leased from them June of last year a 2011 IS 350 Premium/Navigation, and the low trade-in value they initially offered washed out any point in switching (because having had only made 13 payments on a 36 month lease I was upside down).
As I spoke to the senior sales manager last night I gave him a maximum figure I'd give to pay off my lease, which was effectively $2,600 better than their initial trade offer.
He accepted, and last night I leased a 2012 Nebula Grey IS 250 F-Sport Premium/Non-Navigation, absolutely $0 down (besides the payoff I made on my 2011) 24months/10k miles for $479.00/mo.
I love this car so much more than my 350! The transmission is so much smoother (the thing I hated most about my 350), the seats are perfect, the color my favorite I've seen on any car in a very long time, and though I wish it were a bit lower the "sport" suspension is a small improvement. I definitely will not miss that navigation system, but have a feeling there'll be moments where I miss the 102 HP.
I plan to get front and rear F-Sport sways
I didn't post pics because y'all know what my car looks like lol...
Cheers,
Rob
1. IS 250 F-Sport
