That's what he said in the previous posts that he drove the car pretty hard for the first 150k miles, maybe that's the solution to the carbon buildup

Nice! I wonder if this is one of the solutions, when i first got the car i babied it, now i gun it almost everyday at least once and car runs smooth without any shakiness, seems like people who taking it easy and dont drive alot experiencing CB the most

Just cracked 50k. My fingers are still crossed. I should be sitting in a 13GS F-sport before I get anywhere near those numbers. Amazing; that's what makes a car a legend.

Just got my is250 (AWD). '08 with 28k miles.
Also my first foray into Lex/Toy.
All I can say is "wow".
Had an 01 Audi S4 that essentially did everything the Lex does, but a lot faster.
Faster acceleration, faster braking, along with faster breaking too...

I can honestly say the build quality is the best I have ever seen in a car. And this is just the "baby starter Lex"??? Wow.

Hope mine lasts half as long as yours, lol

I'm at 1.5 years of my 2011 IS250 AWD and I just hit 26k. 250k is wonderful news.
