8 months old, just turned over 10k. I love this car!
Only 2 minor problems:
Had to have the driver's side mirror glass replaced because of scratches.
Have a few annoying creaks and rattles. Will have the dealer look into it when I go in for my 10k service in a few weeks..

My IS250 was bought in Mar/06, as of 3/23/07 I've collected 31,546 miles and counting. The IS250 is my daily driver, I commute 70 miles one way to work and the car is also used on the weekends.
Current/old issues; I have a 6 speed, my car was plagued with the alignment issue(pulling to the right) from day one, finally @10K service they replaced all the bushings and gave me new tires(so far, it's worked).
The tranny is still grinding/rough 2nd gear even after I replaced the fluid to Mobil 1 75W-90 synthetic oil, it helped in terms of smoothness.
The flywheel is noisy, especially when cold out. Lexus is aware of it but they are investigating to see if other owners are encountering the same issues.
The issue is that it's hard to duplicate on warmer weather(needs to be below 35*) in order to hear the humming sound in my car.
The dash still noisy, it's been repaired 4 times now, the noise comes from either the center speaker on the dash or that plastic trim piece where the windshield meets the dashboard.
The rear view mirror was replaced because the compass quit working, go figure.
New issues; Sunroof started to rattle recently over rough roads(will take care of in the next service).
Other then that, the car has performed excellent(engine, brakes, tires, A/C, radio, seats...).
My wife's car was bought @ the same time and she's the lucky one.
The dash is begining to make noise in the same area as mine and she has 3,220 miles and it just got it's first oil change.
The flywheels is noisy but not as bad as my car. Don't know why??
Any questions?

I have 33,000 miles on mine - 06 250 AWD - got it in March 06.
Sunroof rattle only when it's tilted open to vent - dealer verified the rattle, and will fix when i get my lazy @ss to make an appointment
Front passenger side mid-range speaker vibrates during certain frequencies
But the most annoying thing is when the navigation system spontaneously shows my vehicle being a half mile from where it actually is. It's particularly fun when i'm relying on it to get someplace, but on the screen there are no roads because it is showing me driving in the Atlantic ocean. Good times, good times.

Before I drive 15 miles round trip to work and now I drive 90 miles round trip to work.. Thank god there is no big problem. Little nosie here and there don't bother me as long this car doesn't break down on me on the street. This is why I buy a lexus so...
Hoping I can get at least 200,000 miles.

15,200 miles. I had a warranty-fixed alignment issue. It was pulling to the left over 50 miles per hour. Also, the brakes started to squeel really bad at 14k, but the pads were hardly worn, but the brake dust they left got underneath them and caused the squeel.
Overall, not bad. Lets not talk about the flat tire and the fact that its been hit twice

18k mileage
so far so good. Only the creaking noise upfront in the dash area. I modded the car with HID, sub/amp, hard wired radar. so far so good. I did scratch the gear shift wood panel...errr.

~21.5K since April 2006 (11 months). Will drive a lot less with my new job in a few weeks, so I'm relieved that I won't put on 100k miles in 4 years! It is my daily drive and I'm loving every minute of it!
Minor problems:
-Slight rattling of the sunroof when in the tilt location
