Year - Model: 2007 IS250 AWD
Package: Luxury? Premium? Not sure
Miles: 80,000K miles or about 133,000 kms
Beside regular maintenance, what has been broken and repaired? CV axle (was damaged when I hit a curb in the winter, so mostly my fault), OEM 17 inch multi spoke wheels(massive paint peel), passenger seat sensor(airbag srs light on, passenger airbag off etc, sensor is inside the seat so the cushion was replaced), walnut blasting around 60k, seized rear calipers twice a side, so far haven't had to do alternator or water pump yet, not sure if it counts as regular maintenance but I'm in the process of replacing all bushings given that it's a 10 year old car

Beside regular maintenance, what has been broken and repaired? Blown Rear Passenger Shock, Navigation seems to refresh by itself with a blue / green screen "weird". Wipers have its own brain when its on or being use. It can get suck half way through a wipe.
