2008 is250
87300 miles

Recall / TSB: Carbon build up piston replacement, brake dust, fuel line gasket, floor mat and gas pedal, trunk release

Non recall repair: front wheel alignment (zero toe), ackerman out of spec (not adjustable)
Out of warranty non repair: front driver seat bottom leather drying and wrinkling.

It is the only car I have that I never really bring back to the dealer for any unexpected repair within warranty.

Year - Model: 2008 IS 220D
Package: Auto, heated/cooled seats, adaptive lights, 18" wheels, navigation
Miles: ~60000
Beside regular maintenance, what has been broken and repaired? As far as I know from the previous owner the rear bumper (a bicyclist rear ended it), and recently I changed the battery (refused to start, the last one had almost 5 years of usage)

Being a manual and driven by a woman, the clutch needs replacement (makes an annoying squeaky sound when I press/depress it), other than that, OMG I LOVE THIS CAR!
