Talking New Member Introduction

Hello all from The Golden State!

I am new to the forums, I just recently purchased a 2017 IS200t and Mark Levinson with Caviar Black exterior and Rioja Red w/F Sport Nuluxe Seat Trim interior on 04/5 (funny story involved if you're interested as I used to work as a car dealer with Toyota of Elk Grove, California) I had a 2013 bmw 328i before, the drive is a totally different feeling between the two brands, I would feel better with a 350 but I wanted a good deal as I had negative equity to roll over. [only mods done is lexus puddle lights] Yes I need to bathe it again. Weird weather in northern CA.


Thanks for reading! What model do you have? Any recommendations?
Follow on IG or facebook, let me know and I will follow back!

Welcome to CL. Nice car...enjoy it.

You can discuss it, if you want, either here in Car Chat (where we talk about all vehicles / Lexus and non-Lexus) or in our specific IS sub-forums.

Congratulations! Where are you located? We're in Richmond, near El Cerrito. I bought my 2016 200 IS in October in San Jose at Top Tier Motors.
Very happy. Enjoy every minute!

welcome and congrats but armor all is just about the worst thing you can put on your interior. the interior will look super greasy and run down (used car parking lot style) but the good news is you can remove all of it with some mild degreaser/soap.
