Hey everybody,
I'm in the market for a IS200T F Sport or IS350 F Sport, I found a 2014 IS350 F Sport with 95K miles, and I'm hesitant on picking up right now, and the 200T F Sport for some reason is hard to find in SoCal.
Anyone have any issues with the IS350 F Sport?

If your budget is 21k, you need to look for another make or a 2IS. And if you find a 3IS for that price, you probably don't want it to be honest (or have money ready for maintenance issues which may start coming up)

the reason that the labor is so high is because the exhaust manifold is built into the cylinder head.
i was in a rush when i typed my vague comment, but thats the 2nd one to come in and this one only has 22k miles on it.
they may not be time bombs, but lexus knows these aren't bulletproof by no means.

Yeah, the base 350 and 200t are within price range but really love the F Sport cluster and grill ugh.

the motor needed heads, and book labor for that job sits currently at 32 hours

That's not good. I have around 35k on my 200t and i've been running different types of tuning products with no major mechanical issues other than a faulty vacuum regulator which is covered under warranty. Most manufacturers are going with the built in manifold design with their turbocharged engines, so its not just Lexus.
1 came out of an IS, the other an NX.
the nx was still in the car and the is motor was on a stand.
