Very nice car, but correct me if I'm wrong I thought 2nd Gen is 2007+ and after that they had discontinued Glacier Frost Mica and it was re-named and repainted as Starfire Pearl? I'm still new so still learning. Because I'm on the market for an '07 IS350 STP. I don't want GFM.

Enjoy it and welcome to CL!
I bought mine at the end of March. Identical config with yours, just different color. Being under powertrain warranty until next year gives you time to know it well, i had mine a few times in the shop for warranty work and recalls. Let me know if you have any questions

the 250 is going in for tint today, but other than that no plans just yet for any mods. Maybe some lowering springs but we do have a wedding to save for so unfortunately the cash is a bit tight lol.

I just hope this car gives us the toyota/lexus reliability and doesn't give us too many issues other than regular maintenance. i know all cars have their issues but when you're new and shopping all you tend to read is into the troubles and it consumes you haha.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your Lexus. I have owned Mercedes, Porsche, Cadillac, Continental and slew of lesser brands and none has equaled the quality and service I have found with Lexus, from the dealer to the manufacturer to the product itself. I just bought my third Lexus, in fact. I expect you will be pleased with your IS250. My younger son had an IS350, which he bought new, and he loved it. The car was smoking hot and scalding fast. I know you bought yours used but I think you will find that a used Lexus is better than a new most anything else. So best of luck with the car--and with the upcoming marriage.
