Lease is coming up on my Audi S3 and it's time to keep a car long term. So thought I'd get a used Lexus for luxury and reliability. Shopping around for a 2nd or 3rd Gen is350. Is there any years I need to avoid on the 2nd Gen IS350 or should I just get a 3rd Gen?
Honestly, the 2IS is a solid used car no matter the model year; just as long as you go with an IS350. If going with an IS250, you might encounter carbon build-up issues.
Only thing I can think of are better OEM water pumps. The early years, mine included, had water pumps that leaked quite early in their life. Mine started at 21k miles.

I don't want to jinx myself, but the original water pump in my '06 IS350 is still going strong with over 150k miles.
