Just bought a IS 250 let me know whatcha think

Hello everyone,
I just sold my BMW and bought this Lexus IS 250 AWD. I fell in love with the color and also when I first drove it. I never owned a Lexus so I have big plans for modding this one. It does have 72,000 miles on it which kind of scare me since I don't know how these hold up. I also paid 16,500 for it and was wondering if I got a good deal. Let me know what you think!

I know this car is not made for performance, but I am definitely doing mods to the appearance of the vehicle.

Congrats on your purchase!! I too just bought an 07 is 250 AWD, loooove this thing. Only mods i have done so far are the interior lights, puddle lights, and licence plate lights (which was a PAIN to do). Keep me posted on what all you have done with it. I was thinking about performance mods my self but not certain what would be the right route to go.

Congrats on the new car! I have an 08 IS250 and yeah I feel the same way. No sense in really doing performance I'm just going cosmetics. Im actually ordering springs tomorrow so I'm excited. Anything big you plan on doing?
