Hey Everyone...

Just wanted some perspective from fellow members on the IS350. I will most likely be pulling the trigger on an 06' IS350 Black on Black with NAV & ML. The car has 40k miles on and looks to be in pristine condition. Is there anything I should specifically look for on this car maybe that anyone else has had issues with??

Best,

Capitalist...

 

just to make sure all TSBs were completed. And of course to keep an ey out and have it PPI'd

where in NH are you?

 

Nothing more than you deal with in the 250

 

This, except IS350s don't have carbon build up problems like the IS250s, so that's one less (major) thing to deal with.

 

Always wondered why that is. Is there a thread I could read up on?

 

Thanks guys - interesting point on the carbon build up didn't think of that...

Mikey I'm in Merrimack.... Do you have the white 06' that you are trying to sell??

 

iirc its partly due to the 350 having both port and direct injection as opposed to the 250s direct

 

Lol yep that's mine. However just updated her...so ill probably be keeping it

We may have to get a meet going

 

Where you at in NH? Your car has been pretty solid i'm assuming??

 

By far 1 of the best cars I've ever owned she is built like a rock. You will not be disappointed.

And I live in portsmouth this is going to be my first spring here and I'm ready to enjoy it

 

Thanks! - I'll post up some pics later this week hopefully all goes as plans... Any mods?

 

Another question - How closely does everyone follow the recommended maintenance guidelines? Whats the proper interval for plugs, fluids, etc... Should I expect the same as my IS250 I have now??

 

Lol..... owned

 

just a few

tomorrow I have my 2012 headlights, fsport front end, genesis track wheels coming in

 

It should be identical. I think the only difference is the recommended engine oil grade. The 2011 manual states 0W-20 for the 250 and 5W-30 for the 350
