Proud new owner of a black 08 IS350 luxury package. First Lexus as well as first true Luxury vehicle Absolutely gorgeous and love the power. Hope to learn a lot here. Has 49k miles and in excellent condition. I have owned several vehicles over the past few years, but I feel this one is a keeper. lol. 2008 seems to be the best year for these cars and very happy I found the luxury package

The touch for the navigation does not work, and I will be attempting to fix it as I have already read the articles and videos for the easy DIY fix

Wow. 49k miles and your nav went out? Mine went out at 113k. Nice choice on the 08 as it has graphite wheels--much better than the silver ones.

Thanks guys. I have the nav unit out and hopefully tomorrow it'll be back on the car in working order I did nick the dash pad a little removing the vents. Was surprised how easily it did that without much force

But still loving it so far! lol

Welcome to the family man! I also have the 08 IS350 and absolutely love it! Do you plan on doing any mods to yours?
