Wanted the Mark Levinson audio but there weren't any cars available in IL and the dealership said a 3 to 6 month wait on the custom build. And I just couldn't wait any longer. :-)

BTW, the other cars I was looking at were the Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sport and the BMW 335i xDrive. Needless to say, the Lexus won! And I love every minute I spend in the car.
Also looked at same cars and Lexus won me over as well....great choice and welcome!

Thanks, Napalvr! I'm now digging around for vehicle break-in best practices. Lots of confusing material on the net. For now I'm just going by what the manual says. Is there a thread on here for break-in guidelines, etc?

Hello members

Been looking out for a IS350 F Sport
But haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I have been pretty active on this Forum but just joined.
I have learned a lot and won't come out with stupid question without searching first. Hahahah!

Hopefully will get a Car soon.

Default First lexus

Hi members

Just bought my first Lexus

2015 is 350 f sport series 3 package

Black- obsidian

Black interior

Live in Canada so got awd

They threw in 3M front film paint protection

Bought paint protection (keep it shinny)

Debated tinting and only real option is 35

Thinking about it but not sure how dark it is and whether can see blind spot monitoring in side mirrors for example

Default 2015 IS 350 F-Sport

Hey members, so honored to be part of the club. I finally got my 2015 IS350 F-Sport:
Obsidian Black
Rioja Red Interior
Lip Spoiler
Navigation with blind spot monitoring
All Wheel Drive since I live here in St. Louis, MO

So happy to buy this car instead of the Infiniti Q50-S and I've applied for a personalized license plate number to really take ownership of the car! I love the car from front to end, and I have seen several people turn their heads when I drive by.

So proud to be an IS-F owner!

Picked up the IS250 Fsport this past week.

Ultra white with black interior. Navi and rear lip spoiler. Tinted with llumar ctx 30 front and ctx 15 back. Planning on putting the rsr downs this weekend and probably wrapping the roof gloss black next week. Ive always owned BMW's prior and they were great, but this is really starting to grow on me.

Default Late to the game...

Hey Everyone. San Diego CA here just stumbling on this site, late to the game on posting! I purchased my 2014 IS250 F Sport back in Nov of 2013 from #LexusEscondido (shoutout) (Rockin a car that no one really had yet) but now I see them here and there; mostly the basic model though which makes me smile as I drive by them (not judging; just smilin' ).

- Ultra White out
- All Black in
- Moonroof (not sure if that's standard)
- Nav (not sure if that's standard)
- Blind Spot Monitoring (Saved my *** a time or too, or more so the *** of my car!..)

Just started doing anything to it. First time trying to full mod out a car. So far:
- Tinted Windows
- F Sport Exhaust (Thank god there's no rice spewing out of this exhaust; deep, smooth, sexy sound that won't annoy you)
- F Sport Trunk Emblem (is it a 14 or a 15? keep 'em guessing!)
- OEM Trunk Spoiler

Near Future:
- F Sport Intake (need to ride out the 75,000 mile warranty I got and dont want to screw myself)
- Cat back pipe size increase since the f sport exhaust is an axel back system (size recommendations?)

Later Future:
- Coil-Overs so I can drop it maybe 1 1/2 - 2 inches and get that adjustable suspension (any recommendations? I don't want crap and want it to last)
- Maybe some 19's; have the fsport 18's now
- Seibon Carbon lip spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser (and maybe hood)
- LED interior lighting upgrades

After-Warranty-Expires Future:
- Headers
- Pistons
- Turbo Charge & Intercooler (ya right!.. or maybe..)

Anyone else in SD or know of any SoCal meet-up's/shows?

I'll get some pics up soon!

Me-

Hey there everyone

Went over a lease place in Staten Island (NY) this weekend searching for a IS350 Fsport in Ultra White

Guy quoted me 440 a month (price includes taxes) and 1200 down which includes dealer fees, first months payment, and all the other fun stuff (7500 miles a year)

Car is fully loaded
F SPORT
NAVIGATION
SOUND SYSTEM
BACKUP CAMERA
SPOILER
ETC.

Thoughts on deal..
I like it and am most likely going to negotiate a little bit more and then finalize the papers next week or so

Last edited by 3IStaten; 08-03-15 at 11:56 AM. Reason: Finished negotiations, got 440/month, 1200 down

I bought my Lexus about 3 weeks ago and already have 2300 miles on it. I absolutely love this car. I purchased a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport RWD and haven't modded it yet.

Details-
Obsidian with Rioja interior
Navigation with BSM
F-Sport trunk badge
15% Tints all around

Mods I have coming up! Full custom exhaust with quad burnt tips and a skipper rear diffuser. Then after that I'm going to get a chrome deletion package and then a clear front bra wrap to protect it on the highway. Im based out of Hollywood FL.

Default New Texas IS350 F-Sport owner

Good day everyone.

Just picked up yesterday my 2015 IS350 F-Sport, with Navigation and all kind of other thingies, in White/Red combo.
Traded in my 2013 Nissan 370Z, which was great, but was missing the luxury drive of my previous BMW 335i.
Test drove the new 335i, a Infinity, and MB and finally the Lexus. My first Lexus, but just love the drive and reliability ratings, something my BMW was lagging.

Anyway, living down in Texas between San Antonio and Austin, not many IS350 around here.

PS: Thomas is my name BTW
