I just bought my first Lexus! It's a fully loaded 2005 IS 300 Sportcross. I recently had an Impreza wagon and this IS stomps on it in every category.

I was looking at Audi A3's for a while and came across the Sportcross and never knew Lexus even made a wagon. I was hooked the minute I saw it. Anyways, here's my new baby:

very nice! looks really clean! how many miles?

 

Thanks! Yeah, it's in excellent condition. Only 29,880 miles when I purchased. Within the next week I am going to tint the windows black and get my calipers painted. Still deciding on what color though...any ideas?

I was thinking red with the black Lexus decals so that the black goes with the tint....

 

wow very nice

 

hmm that could look really good. red calipers always look good lol

 

Yeah, red calipers do always looks good. Do you have your calipers painted?

 

nope deciding on my color now.. ive got the decals already. I think im going to paint them next weekend

 

Thanks, Bronz.

I have family that stay in Papakolea. Haven't been back to da island though in a couple years. Shoots...

 

Nice, send me some pics if you can when it's completed.

Where and how much did you get your decals?

 

go to http://motogfx.com/lexus u can order them there for like 8 bucks.. and ill deff send some pics. hopefully it turns out good.

 

Welcome, very nice sportcross. The sportcross is a very rare car, and ones with mods done to them are even rarer. We have a few members who have done nice wheels and drops to thier sportcross's, search and you will find some of their pics to show what can be done.

 

Thanks, 2002GGPIS3. Yeah, I have never seen one on the road until I saw this one at the dealership. I am definitely want to do some engine mods but nothing extreme....want to keep it the "sleeper" look. Thanks for the tip I will search and see if i can see some other Sportcrosses...

Cheers!

 

Grats on your first Lex. Very nice clean sportcross and low miles is always a plus.

 

thanks, vietunit. I traded in my 06 Suby with 70K miles! So, it's nice to have a car with 40K less miles! I nearly won't be driving as much as I used to though...all those snowboarding trips, adds up miles quick.

-Cheers

 

congrats on the IS, thats a nice looking ride..
