This car is all I though it would be and more.

Congratulations and welcome to the club. Another Nebula Gray Pearl, classic and doesn't attract attention.

A 3 car garage, now that's what I call a GARAGE!

Car seems to run well on Redline Oil 5W-30 in case you're going to swap the oil. (you'll need a toyota tool for that as well, it's a paper filter insert)

Enjoy the ride! Watch your right foot!

Thank you for the kind words!!!

Just got this house 6 months ago.. The man had to go to assisted living is only reason it went up for sale... He had 9 Mercedes's crammed in here...

I always owned Toyotas, so this Lexus was a no brainer.... took me 1 .5 years to finally buy,
but glad it all worked out...

I ordered 2014 IS350 over a year ago and chickened out... So glad I waited and got the V8.

Yes I like the Nebula Pearl... Black is just too hot here in San Antonio...

And I think the Red is a cooler color for the summer inside the car.

Nice forum here!

Welcome, I can totally relate. I have been driving Toyot;as and Lexus's for over 25years.

I did almost the same thing. Was getting real close to pulling the trigger on a 2014 IS350 but I couldn't convince myself it was the car that I really wanted. I wound up buying a Nebula Grey 2012 ISF in Sept. Mine has the Alcantara interior, otherwise the car is the same as your. I like the Grey.

Congrats! You will surely enjoy it. CL has plenty of info from maintenance to mods, so you will have pretty much all your questions answered here. Any mods planned? Check out as many threads as you can and just soak in the info. Beautiful combo too!
