Sold a 2013 Accord (114k miles) to get an 06 IS350 (77k miles). 1 owner with service records. Car is clean. Always wanted a rear wheel drive with enough power and I find the 2nd gen particularly attractive. Hope I made a good call.

If you haven't already, sign up on Lexus.com, input your VIN, and identify yourself as the new owner. This will then give you access to all of the in-Lexus dealership service history on that car.

Welcome!

Welcome to Lexus ownership! In September I sold my 2018 Honda Civic Si (1 year, 3 months and 17K miles) and bought my friends fully clean 2010 Lexus IS 350 Sport with 52K. He was the only owner and fully maintained and babied this car, it looks brand new. This was the only Honda I ever owned, previous I have owned Toyotas since 1995, my last car before the Honda was a 2006 Camry SE (3.3L V6) with 140K that I gave to my daughter when she started college.

One of the best cars I have ever owned, in a few years I will probably pick up an IS F or a used RC F.

As long as your car was maintained, 77K is nothing. I have a lot of friends that own Lexus's that have over 150K on them and are still running like new, so yes, good call

Bought my '06 IS350 new. 104,000 miles and it is still a great car. You made a good "find" and 77,000 means it's still practically brand new! Sorta!! Congratulations on your purchase. May you have many miles of pleasurable driving.

Appreciate the welcomes!
Am an older guy in my late 50s. I am partial to old school ( RWD, non CVT and some spare power under the hood).
The car ticked off all the check marks!
What sealed the deal is I just got my wife a brand new NX300 and I immediately got sold on the brand. I have always liked 2nd gen IS. So there!
