I have a 2023 IS 500 on the way shortly. It is replacing the 2018 IS 350 F Sport I had that I sold in May 2021! The 2013 IS 350 is my wife's car. This garage is going to be getting some color shortly.
1st post, but I've lurked for awhile. Finally decided to join today on 1-23-23. It was a silly thing to do.

Welcome…officially!
I went from an ‘06 IS 350 to a ‘16 IS 350 and was blown away at the overall structural and technological advancement. Touchscreen aside (which is huge), you won’t see a drastic technological difference between the ‘18 and ‘23. Structurally however….boy oh boy are you in for a treat! I loved my ‘16, but not like my 500. I have never hopped in a car just to take a drive; but my 500, I can’t keep my a$$ out of it.

It’s that freaking good.
Definitely let us know when you get it! 🤘🏽👍🏽
I've played with the '21 and '22 IS 350 so I at least know the tech, haven't driven them. I've driven every IS-F year, GS-F, RC-F, LC 500 either on the street or on a track so I have been waiting for the V8 to appear on the current gen IS platform. I toyed with getting a GS-F but once the IS 500 was announced the decision was made. I loved my 2018 IS 350 but always wanted the V8. I had a 2014 IS F in Nebula Gray pop up but the timing was bad as I was closing on a house and could not buy a car then. If that IS F had happened the 2018 IS 350 might never have happened.
^^ Congrats and welcome to the happy IS 500 family - Curious, what color combo are you getting?
The choices I gave them was Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 or Infrared. It will have the BBS wheels on them like most seem to have lately. I'll leave a little mystery for delivery day.
Hey guys! New to the boards...been lurking for a few weeks. Trading my vintage 2011 Chevy Cruze 1.4 liter Turbo for a 2023 IS 500 Premium. I am so fired up to be part of such a small group of people who share a very common interest. The 500 I've purchased is being transported as we speak, so I will be posting a formal introduction once I'm able to take some actual pictures. Until then, hello!

Very impressive car! Congrats! Funny thing, my Lexus life started out in that showroom back in 2008- Westminster. It was actually a great dealership to work with.
Hesitated to post this, but someone should mark #184 off the list. It sold on Coparts for $34K, so I’m sure it will be back on the road soon.
This was my first accident since I started driving in 1997. Distracted at 25mph. I regularly do 150mph around a racetrack in my track car. Reminder to pay attention folks. Unfortunate, trust me, I know. This was a month ago right after installing RSR down springs.
I found #251 for sale, and gratefully picked it up yesterday.

Glad you were able to get another and sorry about the accident.

Lord have mercy, I’m glad you’re okay! How long was it between the accident vs. picking up another? Glad you were able to get another, it shows how much you love this car. 👏🏽💪🏽
