2012 Dodge Avenger R/T - 3.6 L , cold air intake , 300 hp . Went like stink , best looking car on the hoist or flatbed. Was getting up there in miles and was becoming unreliable - had to get rid of it while it was still worth something.

The 350 RWD is my first Lexus and I'm happy to have moved away from a 2002 Lincoln LS V8.

I wish I kept her. Good , solid XJs are hard to find. I drove that jeep since I was 21. Almost 9 years. Barely put any miles on it. I search craigslist to see if the boy is selling it.

Replaced my 1993 Mercedes 300E. Had to just because it was getting to expensive to maintain. Glad I got this car though!

Sold my 2002 Tundra for my IS350. Tundra had 260K miles and ran like new--amazing. I wanted to stay in the Toyota family!

First car! Although I did drive my dad's 2006 Civic before I got my IS350. Definitely a much better car in every sense.

First post.

My IS didn't replace anything, however I needed a commuter car since my Tundra and Tacoma are killing me in fuel costs. Why not make the morning commute awesome?

I have been so impressed with this sports sedan so far. I'm going to get in so much trouble. Power delivery, handling, comfort is great. To be honest, I was not expecting so much out of this package. I actually enjoy this car better than my old 12 GS Corvette.

Wow, that is a clean 1st Gen. Nice work. Love my 12' Tundra and 14' Tacoma, just not the economy.

I recently bought a 2011 Lexus IS350 F Sport to replace my first car. I use to own a 2007 Pontiac G6 GT. I had this car for seven years and it was very reliable during this time.

This will replace my turbo-built Mazda 3 that was too fast not to fall apart apparently. I broke no less than 3 transmissions and replaced everything in the suspension 2x in the course of 90k. What is the service life of the shocks and struts on these cars compared to other jap cars? I have 99k on the is250, but I do not feel anything in the suspension that needs work.
