Default Another New member!

Hello to all,
Just wanted to join in and introduce myself.
Recently purchased 2009 IS250 with 82k miles on it, also got 3rd party extended warranty for peace of mind.
Coming from a 2010 MazdaSpeed3 sure will miss the power, but all the luxury and comfortable ride is all very welcomed.
Looking forward to be part of the community!

Welcome! I am sure you will like the quality of the vehicle and the comfort and not to mention reliability. Are you going to keep most part stock or any plan to mod? Nice pick up. Also with this of mileage, make sure you check the water for leakage. Most commend issue on IS250. Also, you should find out whether the vehicle has been service for 60k miles or not. If the vehicle went through dealer, they should have records. Not much power with 250, but it is a fun drive to drive.

Thank you!
I'm planing on keeping mostly stock, this is mainly for commute, around 40 min each way.
I will be scheduling a service at lexus so they can check everything, i've heard the most common problems are the carbon build up and the water pump, will ask them to check those specific.
