Default Just got my 08 IS250 RWD 6A

I just got it last saturday while they had their summer sales event. Man do I love this car. This is a huge step up from my previous car in terms of quality and luxury considering that the car that I traded in for this was an 03 Toyota Matrix XR 5speed with a TRD S/C.

Well here are the pics:

RWD with 17" rims? That's unheard of! I didn't know Lexus were importing any RWD without upgrading to the 18" staggered setup.

It's possible...there are very of few that get shipped here as base model 250 RWD with 17s and non-perforated seats. So yeah, his car is unique.


Very nice! Congrats on the new ride! Welcome to CL.

They had like 7 or 8 at the dealer where I bought the car. Maybe the newer stock they decided to bring in 17s instead of 18s considering the fact that my car was built in 08/08.

My car does have the perforated leather seats as part of the premium package that came with it. Regardless I didn't care about what wheels it came with since I want to upgrade them either way.
