Default Stil love my car!!! You ?

I bought a 2008 is250 awd brand new from Lexus of Norwood in MA in end of oct 2007. Starfire pearl with beige interior.

Clocking in almost 95k miles on it and have had no issues with my car what so ever. Other then the recent brake change my rear calipers are seized. Ill be doing small things soon to ensure its still running good. Slightly modded. And sound system

I still love my car from the day I picked it up, even though its a little banged up but I'm waiting for the spring to fix all the imperfections.

It's just a great all around car for me. Only thing is that I'm starting to out grow it (family is expanding and the kid is growing. He can kick me in the shoulder if he wanted too and he's only 4 lol)

How about you? How do you feel about it ? And this is my second IS as I had the is300 too.

I typically get a new car every 12-16 months.... had Lexi for over 2 years if thats saying anything. I still get the car itch every now and then but the combination of looks, performance, reliability, and cost of ownership are hard to beat. Nice looking ride BTW.

We recently purchased our 07 IS250 AWD With 35K Miles and so far absolutely LOVE IT.

On the other hand, ive had my fully modified 02' GS300 since 2005 and still LOVE IT and double take it.

I feel the same way. Got my '07 in October of '06 brand new, and have >67K miles on the odo. Love her even more now than that day in October when we made a lifelong commitment to each other.
