Default New Owner here

I just recently got the 2011 IS250 Starfire Pearl w/Navi and Black interior (my second choice was the Genesis Coupe). I think I got a fairly good deal for it.

Not thinking of doing too many mods (perhaps springs and intake), I'll mainly be using it to travel around school in SD and to commute back and forth from home and vice versa.

I'm glad I finally get to be in the club and be a Lexus owner. I look forward to gaining much knowledge from the collective of this forum.

Nice to meet you all.

welcome to CL, and congrats on your new ride! the genesis coupe looks really good and the hp is pretty good (210 for it's 2.0 turbo I4 and 306 for its 3.8 v6). my friend has the 3.8 grand touring, and that thing zips in and out of traffic quite well. overall a nice sporty feel for the car. but especially if you're having passengers in it, the hassles of moving the seats constantly becomes a chore. hope you enjoy your new IS, and good luck in school!
