Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is worth modding my stock is350 with almost 200k miles. I'd want to get a F-Sport Intake/Exhaust and some other less expensive things. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say! Thanks.

 

Welcome to CL....if you take care of the car then get what you want. You could always sell the parts.

 

It would depend on how long you plan to keep the car. But IMHO It's never too late too mod your car. You can always resell the parts later down the road. Might as well do what you want with the car and enjoy it while you have it.

 

Thanks for the welcome and the input!

This is all true and very helpful, thank you!

 

I'm not sure how long these cars last but if you plan on keeping it for a long time then why not? Just be prepared and have some money set aside for possible repair bills and maintenence etc considering your mileage is pretty high up there

 

I was thinking my IS 350 with 80,000 miles was high! Phew!

 

Why not? how long you plan to keep the car plays into this decision too

 

Definitely keep money aside for repairs. I have 90k on my car right now and definitely keeping this car for a long time since it won't be paid off till 6 years.


How's the condition of the exterior/interior with that many mileage?

 

all comes down to how long you are going to keep the car, but I say go for it ! as you can always sell the parts

 

I'd probably be keeping this until it dies

I'd say the condition is good both interior/exterior

 

its never too late to mod it.

 

even old girls like to feel pretty

 

Haha!

I honestly think you do whatever you want at this point even if you don't plan on keeping the car long, you can always sell us your old parts.

I mod when opportunity arises. For instance I purchased the fsport intake when I needed a new air filter. See. Functional. You must have already changed you suspension a couple times over, ever thought about coilovers? Now's the time to build, she's got pleanty of life in her (provided you took car of her)

 

If you are sure you're going to keep it for awhile then mod the S*&% out of it!

 

I want to see some pics of your car with that many miles on the clock.
