Cool My new (to me) 2007 IS 250

Hey guys,

I have picked up a new (to me) Lexus IS 250 Automatic, I wanted to say hey to everyone.

I am familiar with the cars/brand, parents both have Lexus cars and I thought I would get one too. I look forward to chatting to you fellow owners

I made a car tour video of the car if anyone wants to see my car?

Talking My new (to me) Lexus IS 250

hey guys,

I recently picked up an '07 IS 250 as a runaround for a few months and I must say I am enjoying the mark 2 IS overall.

I made a video of my car if anyone wants to see/watch it/

Nice car. Lexus IS such a good brand to choose. I like the fact that it’s RHD.

Good show and nice car!
Question, it seems like it's revving above 1000 rpm most of the time while idling. Should be under. Everything okay with the engine?

Nice video! I miss my 2006 IS250 as it was a great car and ownership experience.

This is common if it's really cold outside. Can't really tell from the video. If not, could be an issue. Maybe carbon buildup?

Good call on the cold weather. However, usually the rpms drop after a minute or two, even if it's quite cold out. It looked like his foot might of hit the accelerator pedal while sitting down, but those same high rpm's stayed after he exited.

Talking My 2007 IS 250

Hey everyone,
I hope you are all well? Self isolating & keeping safe?
During this WFH time I thought I would share my IS that I bought just over a month ago, I have only covered a few hundred miles in it soo far. I am looking forward to being allowed back on the road.
Here is a link to my IS 250 if anyone wishes to watch it

Welcome and congrats on the IS250 - they are phenomenal cars (I own an '08 ). Feel free to give us a shout if you're ever looking for any performance/styling upgrades.
