Default New to Lexus

Hello,

My Name is Thomas and I live in Japan and just bought my wife an IS350, it has 88,000 on the clock and I picked it up $8500.00. It's a nice car and I like it a lot, its a nice break from driving my 600 horse Daily R33 GTR all the time. The car came with some 19's mounted and Im not sure if the brakes are factory, although they say Lexus on them. The car has Carbon Accents here and there, im gonna say it was set up to look like a sporty VIP car. So what do you all think?

Is there anything that I should be looking for or specifically need to check with this car, so far all smiles from me. The wife however has **** eating grin that won't quit, since shes going from a honda fit to this.

Welcome! She looks nice...

The only thing I can think of is take it to the dealer and see if all the recalls were done on it, otherwise enjoy.
I just hit 150k on mine... still no problems

Nice ride!!
Those front brake calipers seem to be OEM is350's. Those decals are add-on stuff (I have them as well).

Very nice! Love both cars. The IS is definitely a nice upgrade to the Fit. Tasteful mods.

Welcome to CL. The car looks great and I love the Skyline and its color. There's minimal work to do on these cars for the most part.
