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:

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....

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.
