Talking Picked up a USED 2007 IS250 AWD today (added pics)

Greetings! First I'd like to give a HUGE shoutout to every single club lexus member who posted! Been lurking here for a long long time.If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have been brainwashed to get this car.

So I took the leap of faith and did it.
It's my first car purchase. Pretty excited.

So I have a 2007 IS250 AWD + Nav + HID (charcoal) from the US with 5000miles on it.
It passed all Border inspection and has a little Quebec Sticker of approval on it.

We're expecting 25cm (9.8inches) in the next 48 hours. So I'll try to take some pics when it eases up.



Next purchase: Rubber floor mats at Walmart; lol

Congrats on the ride and you will love it in the snow. Chicago had most schools closed today and I actually made it to work. As for the floormats, make sure to buy the ones at lexus that are all-season. The AWD IS250 has a weird driver side hump that allows for the front differential and most mats will not fit, plus you run into a safety issue with aftermarket mats getting lodged on the gas or brake. I paid $109 4 days ago for my mats and you can order online.

Default Pics!

Here are some pics from the dealer's and some pics from my garage.. don't mind the clutter....
the pics arn't anything special...just your basic charcoal color car.. but whatever i want my 15 min of fame

btw i suck at taking pics, couldn't take any outdoor pics since there's like half a foot of snow/freezing rain outside.

nice ride -- now you need to take out the front bumper screws, get it buffed out and buy some plugs!

Yea I do have to get bumper plugs, but what bothers me is the price. $15 does not justify 2 pieces of plastic. I'm still on the hunt for a cheaper alternative.
