Default My New Ride

Just got this few days ago. It's a 2010 IS250, navi and upgraded 18"wheels, 33500miles for 21k. Not sure if it;s a good deal but was the cheapest . The owner was asking $24k so I was able to negotiate quite a bit. One owner car and perfectly maintain.
Was wondering what year did Lexus start putting those LEDs in the headlights and if there is a way to upgrade to those.
Also any advice as to what I should be aware would be greatly appreciate it. My first Lexus here.

Gotta love that color! They started with the headlights in 2011. Yup, you can buy you some headlights to update the look if you want. They aren't cheap though. Congratz on the new car

Still my favorite color for an IS. Get that girl dropped and lose the wheel gap and you will be in great shape! Got any plans for mods?

Actually the only thing I didn't like on this car when I saw it was the color. I really wanted to get white with black/beige interior.
Do you know how much the drop would cost. That gap is the second thing I hate.

Congrats on the purchase!

Check that website out and create a login. Make sure to claim yourself as a member of CL to get a discount!

~$2k-$2.4k is what you're looking at for the HID/LEDs. I'm planning on getting some for myself soon too.

Congrats on the new ride! I LOVE that Matador Red! The IS looks immaculate and some 2011+ LED headlights would look great on there!
