Original owner. As time goes on with any model and any car, a car forum will turn into "new used owners" and "how do I fix this?" Eventually, like in real life, there will be few original owners.

The other day the Service manager approached me since my car was in such great condition that he was shocked. They wanted to buy it and offered me a really good price for it that surprised me but I am going to ride this baby into the ground.

I've had my '07 IS350 since Oct 2006. When I bought my car brand-new, it was currently the sportiest car available in the Lexus line-up. Unfortunately for me, the IS-F was announced by Lexus a few months after I had purchased my car. 
Rather than trading in the IS350 at the dealership and taking a big financial loss, I decided to keep my car all these years and I've been modding it ever since.

I'm extremely impressed how little our cars have aged. I look at things like headlight fogging, paint chipping, exterior trim bits, exhaust leaks, engine noise and idle, interior door panel wear, armrest wear, steering wheel wear, and leather seat wear- and all things have not changed much or look or sound new still. Most commonly, interior rattles pop up but I have yet to gain a new rattle since new (still have the same one that I could never pinpoint and fix). This is a perfect car to hold onto for those who take pride in their vehicles and want a long-term investment.

Not only that, I believe the IS350 is the fastest in its class vs many other competitors back in the day.

And another thing I didn't mention that totally blows me away and is amazing.... the sound of my engine and exhaust has not changed one bit since new. With every car I've ever owned, they all get louder over time. Not here!
