Default SOLD my '08 IS250

Just wanted to say goodbye to all who helped me thru the yrs.on this forum. My '08 reached 210,000 miles and after numerous issues (deciding factor was steering inner end link disconnected with outer end link resulting in passenger side tire un-steerable....luckily I was pulling out of driveway when it happened, so I didn't crash), I decided to trade it this past weekend.

Please, everyone check those end links, many have crashed from this.

Other than that, the car was fun to drive.

Take care all!

I'm an avid camper/kayaker, I go almost every weekend, so I got a 2019 Dodge Caravan....yeah,, I know....but I have kids and it's not enough room to take my gear and kayaks in an IS. This will suit me better.

Well, you know how trade in goes.....basically they showed they gave me $4000.00 for the Lexus. I could never have just sold it and gotten that, because book value on it was only around $1500-$2000.
