Default Bought a 07 IS250

Glad to be back to Lexus. After a few BMWs and a Navigator. Don't have to worry about paying $100 to go 225 miles. Or things breaking everyday. 1 owner all maintenance records .75k miles. Very clean condition. Getting 19mpg flooring it everywhere (trying to clean up any carbon lol) Loving it has navigation Backup Camera and heated and cooled seats. Already added a spoiler .limo tint to the rear %35 front. Vland tailights. Logo projectors on 2 front doors. Real Carbon fiber shifter and running a LC2i HiLow Memphis PRX1500.1 at 1ohm to 2 alpine type Rs W12D4 pushing 1500watts Rms and a groundshaker Ported Box. With Memphis 0awg wiring And for audio connection I got a Mpow Aux to Bluetooth with a ground loop isolater. Very clean sound.

welcome back.
be careful as that spoiler may block cars behind you from seeing your 3rd brake light!
the ISF 3rd brake light is on stilts due to their tall deck spoiler.

hmm didnt think of that but its not too big. these little cars are pretty low to the ground. unless its something really low they should be able to see it no promblem.

thanks bro. Im actually not normally a fan of this color interior but with the dark panels it looks good. if it was all tan i wouldnt like it at all. just got the airbag recall done. got a free tank of gas and a free detail(pretty bad detail job honestly lmao) and the BMW dealership i got it from promised me another free tank of gas and detail as well(they did a way better job last detail). also deleted the resonators today to have some type of growl pretty impressed by the difference the engine actually has a sound!!(Im in Cali with the new exhaust law) i got the shifter from eBay was looking for a F sport shifter but couldn't find any for cheap and went with this one. pretty cheap i believe it was $20-25 my originals chrome was messed up and i have OCD about those little things.

That is a nice example of a low-mileage IS250. Car appears to be in terrific shape. My girl has a 2011 and I am looking for one myself. If I can ask, what does an older example like this with lower mileage go for? Did you purchase the car in CA?

Yes I'm in ca actually bought it from a BMW dealership under AutoNation. And it was $9900. I searched for a good while for one that was one owner with all maintenance records low miles and good condition. I had BMW redo the rims(look brand new) and they touched up any scratches and any little dings on the body. And since BMW did it I wasn't worried about there work . It wasn't some little sketchy shop. I think KBB on it was 12k? Something like that
