Hey everyone! My name is Nathan and I am the proud owner of a gently used 2012 IS250. I live in Arkansas, not a huge Lexus scene around here unfortunately. I do attend ImportFaceOff in Oklahoma on an annual basis. I'm new to the JDM crowd, this is my first Lexus. I'm glad to be a part of the community, there's A LOT of useful info I've found just lurking around. Hope I can contribute in the future

1. 2012 IS 250 w/Luxury Pkg
101,000 miles
2. RWD
3. Silver
4. OEM 5 spoke 18s
5. OEM trunk lid spoiler
6. Tan
7. This is my first Lexus, so far I am in LOVE!! I've owned many cars in the past, mostly GM junk.
8. Pics to follow

Mods coming soon: RR Racing carbon fiber intake kit, F Sport lower air box, '13 FRS Torsen LSD 4.10 FD, F Sport rear sway bar, RR Racing USRS kit

Also, my name is Darrell from New Orleans, LA. Security/Military.

Hi all, I am Thomas and new to Lexus and the Forum. Living abroad in Dubai/UAE for a long time, there are lots of Lexus around here. Mostly ES, LS and LX but I got my hands on a fairly well maintained 2-gen IS 250 just a few days ago. More details?
  • 2012 IS250 AWD
  • original 53k mls
  • US imported, hence North American specs
  • black outside, tan inside
  • all the goodies as far as I can tell, incl. navigation and heated/cooled seats
  • no modifications and I want to keep it that way - except for a few interior lighting LEDs
Couple of pictures....


just a few hours after registration, not yet washed

and the car on the right I own for 18 years
