Sasnuke driving 2014 IS250 F-sport ?
So 2015 IS250 C would be ok to buy to keep for 200k miles, reliably ?

absolutely, but seeing as that is the final year for the is-c, it would be quite expensive.

A few months ago, i had to replace the PCV valve on my 2011 Audi S4. The part costs about $250ish, but total cost for parts & labor was $1800 cuz the PCV valve sits at the bottom of the motor and the supercharger, intake manifold, and bunch of other crap need to come off to access it....

When it comes to reliability the 2017 Lexus IS scored "superior" in this year's IIHS crash testing.

In recent Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (IIHS) testing, the Lexus IS Series has distinguished itself in the compact sports sedan market with top safety scores.
