A customer I know from working at the dealer has an 08 IS250 RWD with almost 600,000 miles! The engine has been rebuilt once around 400,000 miles I think but it runs great! Just does his regular maintenance.

Water pump was replaced at this millage & the touch screen froze . Front cambers twisted with an inside slope of one degree due to bad roads in my area and they can't be aligned , only replaced.Several interior parts are making noisy sounds and the dashboard is melting and feeling sticky . Overall , yes it is reliable bad the interior is cheap .

Year - Model: 2006 IS250 MT
Package: Moonroof package?
Miles: 130,000kms
Beside regular maintenance, what has been broken and repaired?

Replaced Y-pipe. Earlier IS model used clamps on the Y-pipes and made it easily rusted. The Y-piped cracked when driving in the crappy montreal roads.

Oh and front seat electonics are broken, seats cannot move foward or backwards.
