Replacing my 2005 350Z......I love that car more than anything and would never want to get rid of it except for the fact that I'm 6'7" and just can't squeeze myself into it any more so got the IS so I can at least recline the seats all the way back and ghetto ride enough to get some decent head and leg room. My Z is still for sale as well.

My IS replaced a 1994 ES300 that I was handed down to me in 1999. I got the ES with 80k miles and finished with 230k-ish miles. My family never had anything but unbelievable reliability from Toyotas, and it'll take a whole lot of work from Detroit to pull me back.

Hey all, I pick up my new IS 350 tomorrow. I traded in my 2004 Ford F-150 4x4 Supercrew! I was ready for a change and I've wanted a performance/luxury car for years. I'll post some pics soon.

My IS250 AWD will replace my Subaru Legacy Sedan. The new IS was a special order and should (I Hope) arrive sometime in February. Until then, I just cruise the forum. We ordered, SGM, Black, Nav, Lux, Park Assist, Head Lamp washers, and ML.
Just couldn't justify Radar Cruise control when I stay in bumper to bumper Washington traffic.

My IS250 replaces a '00 Accord SE. Typical mods, projectors, rear altezza's, drop, 18" Racing Hart C2's, AEM V2 int, Greddy EVO exh, Random free flow cat. Always owned Honda's and have always been happy. But vowed next car would be luxury oriented and then I fell in love. Here's the car to be replaced.
