Default Soon to be IS250 owner with questions

So I own an SC, and decided to get a 2006 IS250 (rwd) as my daily driver. There's a white one local to me, but it has 140,000 on it for $8,000 (See Pic)

First question is, what services should be done on a IS250 with that mileage, assuming that the 100,000 mile service wasn't done?

Should I do...Spark Plugs, Timing Belt, Serpentine Belt, water pump, oil pump, belt tensioner, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, cam seals, crank seal, fllush coolant, change diff fluid, & flush tranny fluid? Anything else?


Second question is about mods :grin:

- Are there any Exterior, Interior, Suspension, or Brake differences/changes between the 2006-2013 models?
- What and Where do I get the parts needed to do a 2011+ LED headlight? Part Numbers?
- Any other headlight/tail-light mods?
- I'm not a fan on fiberglass, are there any polyurethane lips/bumpers available?
- What sites are recommended for parts?
- Recommended coils for a vip setup?


Thanks for any input and/or help

Are those headlights good quality? I usually stay away from eBay items

There is a post in CL about eBay headlight. Most people have good experience with them.
