Looks great!! That is how my love with Lexus began - Mine was 2015 IS 350 but the same design (and wheels which I still love to this day!) _ it looks in great shape! What is the interior color?

^^ I had a few IS and RC in my past and with the exception of my very first one (2015), all had some red inside so I am biased in saying it looks amazing

People think I've lost my marbles I came from a line of higher powered cars SS Camaro, 3000Gt VR4, M3's, SRT 300, S-type Acura, Lexus SC400, and 3 Ram 1500's Hemi powered. I went down to Naples, FL for some R&R and drove my friends Porsche 718 the entire vacation, came home filled up my 33 gallon tank on Ram and started thinking and yearning that type of driving experience of the Porsche 718..... don't get me wrong the power of the Porsche and driving dynamics is not comparable but the awd "IS" I have is sporty, dependable, and comfortable. Driveability is great and all I really need. If you sit and stare at the beautiful lines of the "IS" it's just different and intentional.....in my retirement stage of life I am "IS" content. I purchased it 6 years ago and it's my buddy, great sedan. But the IS 500 is calling me, we'll see how loud the call gets but for now I'm having slow fun and she's still beautiful and dependable.

^^ Well, I had a 2022 IS 500, and now have the 2025 IS 500 Ultimate Edition and let me tell you, the 500 is quite a nice upgrade and you will not regret it if you can scoop one up

Looks great and I much prefer the rear of 2014-2020 IS to the current one.

Once the IS 500 calls it's hard to resist. The 2UR is a special engine.

^^ I am 55 and just submitted my retirement papers - Life is short and never deprive yourself of the things you enjoy if you can afford it!! I have seen too many people close to me lately get either real sick or pass away WAY TOO young!
