Congrats and welcome! I know what you mean about straying from Lexus (see my signature below), there is no substitute! Be careful with those wheels.

Default My new used car

Hi everyone. I just purchased a 2017 IS350 AWD with 38K km (about 24,000 miles). It's Atomic Silver with black interior. The car is in very good condition overall. This car is not an F Sport but there were none available with the 350. It has the luxury package and ML stereo with Navigation, so lots of buttons to play with. I'm impressed with the power and the sound of the engine. I have owned several interesting cars over the years which I'll mention in another post. As always, I will keep everything "stock", no mods for me.

Default New to Lexus but not Toyota.


Hello clublexus, bought a 2017 is300 awd. Coming from a evo x so the power is less bit comfort and knowing the car is reliable is very nice. Happy with the car so far except dealing with the tirewear issues. Ordering spc camber kit and prob rcf lca bushings. Hope this cat doesn’t disappoint.

​​​​​Yeah I think @jlc45 has posted in the wrong forum or something.

Hi all! Proud new owner of a 2022 IS300 AWD. Atomic Silver with Black Pleather. Premium Package (includes necessary goodies), NAV and bigger screen (but no ML), rear sunshade, and port-installed spoiler. I was happy to get that Premium Package to get the bigger wheels (19" and really pretty IMO) and the MEMORY SEATS, finally. Last year I couldn't find an IS300 with memory seats at all. My old 2007 IS250 had them so it made no sense why 2021 didn't offer them.

Anyway, happy to be back! Probably the last NA V6 I'll ever have as even the last hold-outs are heading to Turbo Fours.

Hi everyone. I missed this post when I first joined, so I’ll get to it now.
I’m pretty new to Lexus as I bought my first one, a 2021 IS350 F Sport, last July. Loved the car but was underwhelmed by the power. I had an opportunity to move into an IS500 in December and did so. I have the Premium model in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 with black interior. This car is a blast!

I plan on the Remark Exhaust as well... Where'd you get your CF Roof Spoiler from?

Bought my 2016 IS200t F Sport in March and absolutely love it. It is white with black wheels, black leather interior and in very good condition. Couldn't be happier!

Hey everyone!

This past weekend, I was given the opportunity to purchase my brand new (new to me) 2019 Lexus IS 300 RWD F Sport Ultra White/Black. I came from a 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS and after many problems I had enough. So I decided to buy a car that's reliable and with a little personality to it. This is my first sport/luxury vehicle. I'm excited to be apart of this group and hope to drive many miles with this car!

-Phil

Default 2013 3is 350 ex

Hi all, new Lexus owner from South Africa

Picked this up about 2 weeks ago. It's a 2013 IS 350 EX with 82k kms. Have since added 3k kms, and changed the Bridgestone RE050s tyres for Michelin Pilot Sports. Got PS4s in the front, then the next day when I went to get 2 more for the rear I was told the PS5s were received that morning and decided to put that on the back. Took the car to a Lexus dealership for a pre-owned warranty inspection and found out the car has a 10 year, 150k km service plan (big win). Unfortunately I'll only service the car once, maybe twice before it expires, still better than nothing. While doing the inspection I requested that the dealership active windows up/down through the key fob. Any other mods that people can recommend? Especially for the infotainment system. Even for a 2013 car it's quite bad.

Got the car for the wife primarily, and she loves it. Great car overall. Coming from an '18 1.2 96kw Renault Kadjar(same car as a Nissan Qashqai ), I just couldn't do another one of those "family SUVs". Fuel consumption is only about 3l/100 off the 1.2 turbo from the Renault which is interesting. Considering the car is mostly driven on weekends, I don't have much of an issue with the fuel consumption.

Default New whip who’s this?

Just bought a 2014 is 250 awd f sport and I am quickly reminded why I loved my 97es 350. I’ll be having a lot of fun with this car. She was stock when I got her so started to dress her up a little.
