2008 Lexus IS 250
Hi guys , I recently bought a 2008 IS 250 with 81000 miles, was very clean in and out. Had it checked by mechanic before purchase and had rear right axle replaced. Other than that running awesome. For my own piece of mind i had all new brake pads and rotors done along with new engine and cabin air filter. Is there anything else you would guys would recommend at this point to keep it running excellent for years to come?

Check to see if your car had the carbon build up service done.
Its a 10 year extended warranty where they replace pistons, seals, fluid, and the block if it has scoring. For free!
I just did this on my 2008 IS250 at 90k miles. Basically a new/rebuilt engine.
