Default Coming Back to Lexus

Hey all!

Former owner of a 1G IS300 that got wrecked by an uninsured motorist back in September. State Farm totaled the car, cut me a check..and I bought a Benz.
Nice car, but I'm a Lexus guy now. (This is after years of being a BMW guy)

Looking to buy a decent 2G IS 250 soon. Hopefully I'll be back here with some nice photos of my new (to me) ride.

Wish me luck...

If you still have the Benz hold on to it. The new IS is coming out and the 3IS prices should drop a little.

My 250 got totaled out to. Currently in the market for a 350. Why are you looking into a 250? Why not get a 350? Heres to both of us having the best of luck in finding find some clean IS's.

Agreed. For the most part, fuel economy is proportional to your right foot so why not feel the love of the 350?

I was already paying premium on my 250 a couple more dollars shouldn't hurt to bad right? Also finding it really hard to find any 350's in my area maybe its a sign.
