I have to say that i'm pleasantly suprised with this vehicle. I just purchased it and it was originally bought for the wife but now i want it . Its such an awesome vehicle.
Its a 2008 is250 in red and has 38000 miles.

It does have sunroof, nav, audio sytem, spoiler, hid lighting and staggered wheels. I don't know what package it is but i like it.

If u guys can suggest some nice mods i can do that would be great. I have found that lip spoilers, mirrors, and tails seem to be pretty popular.
Anyways thanks.

thank you, i appreciate i hope this 250's quality is as good as it drives.

The only thing that bothers me really is the rear leg room and ticking in the motor.
But i expected that with the direct fuel injection.

overall, its great. Love it.

welcome to the forum. sounds like you got a good package. i would recommend window tint, interior led's for the dome lights, change out the fog lights. those are pretty minor mods as well.

and i agree with you, the rear leg room leaves something to be desired.

I would suggest looking at the Sewell Lexus website for some accessories. Look for them under the vendor section. Register with them, and you'll get a discount for CL members as well.The F Sport line made by Lexus has some nice parts. It all depends on how much you want to mod this car. If the wife drives it, you may not want a body kit or wheels. A drastic drop may be too much for her as well. Welcome and a warning.....it may be addicting!
