Hey guys just saying whats up, Getting an is350 next week end, just sold my VW GLI, just wanted to know if anyone on the board just has an is350 basic model with no options or should I spend extra money to get the sport package??

 

welcome to club lex! you have come to the right place. good luck in purchasing your new is350. hopefully some other members will be able to give you some insight in choosing your options.

 

If you can afford extra options, do it. If you can't, don't. It's more an issue of what things you want, though.

 

Congrats and welcome to Club Lexus

 

Welcome and congrats on getting a new car.

I would say it all depends on what you really want in a car? Sure you can buy a base model and add certain stuff on to it later, but then again depending on what you want to add on can be very costly (more than if it just came with the car at the time of purchase).

 

just make sure you atleast get the navi because i garantee you you will regret it if you dont

 

I think you'd want the sports package. If you get base model with nothing, it'll feel more like a camry. The options make it a Lexus.

 

Welcome! What part of VA?

 

One of our Moderators, JavyLSU, has a base (no-options) IS350.

However, it is completely hooked-up now...

 

I consider my IS350 pretty basic, since it only has premium package, HIDs, and 18" rims/tires.

 

Congrads and Welcome! I say get what makes you happy...i have all but one option in my car and i never use half the stuff...HAHA. Navi is a nice feature if you will use it.

 

welcome to CL and congrats on your 3fiddy man

 

congrats!!!!!!.......run hide your wallet or purse, this place will drain it!!!

 

hahaha you will catch the mod bug! welcome. get what you can afford and what you want. A base model is perfectly fine, as long as you the driver is happy with it

 

Ok, if money is tight i suggest only 2 options, the Xpackage and HID's. Thats what i got and i dont regret it one bit, but in my case i was just being 'tight wit da money'

Reasons:
xpac: comes with the basic good stuffs at a good price, look it up.
hid: your gonna add it after anyway and if you get it stock, you can avoid alot of issues (condensation in headlight housing due to improper install/manufacturing defects in the hid kits/the hassle of having to get it later anyway or did i mention that already *twice*)
