Welcome fellow Floridian and congratulations! Nice color combo.
It's the perfect time of year to get a convertible in South Florida...Rainy season is ending which means top-down weather begins ;-)

I'm in south Miami-Dade County. I can't wait for some cooler/drier weather--then the top stays down all day

Nice! We are not too far from you- In Plantation. South Florida is definitely a great place to drive a convertible. Before kids we had a Crossfire convertible which was a blast to drive! Take care. -Jim

I have the same exact car! Bought it in June. Curious, where is the ML sub spot? The only thing I wish the car had, was ML

Welcome. Twin ISC to mine, albeit mine is a few years newer with the different headlights and wheels. Enjoy!

Thanks! I shopped for convertibles for about 6 months and looked at VW Eos, Volvo C70, Mercedes CLK320, BMW 428i. Even looked at a 2016 Mustang. Drove all but the Eos. Drove two Volvos. Drove a 2015 red/black IS250C but the dealer wanted more than what the car is worth. Tried to score online twice for red/white IS250C but they sold before I got to them. Even drove down to Sarasota one Saturday morning only to find my prey was already sold. Oh well, it was a nice day for a drive...

Finally hit on this one. It's a little older than I originally wanted, but I'm glad to have considered it. So far I really like this little car. Glad I got a 350, it has a lot more pep than the 250 I drove. Wife and grown-up daughter both think it's "cute". Wife likes to ride in it, she even bought a floppy hat to keep the sun off her face...if you knew her you'd understand that's a HUGE step. Hey, if I can drive a red convertible that girls like, sign me up!

I took it to a pre-purchase inspection by an indy import mechanic and he gave it a clean bill of health. Recommended I change the air filter, plugs and tranny fluid. I looked a bit to find a place that can do a total fluid change, not just a 3-quart pan drop. As luck would have it, my Lexus dealer says they do it so I'm taking it in tomorrow. Will do the plugs and air filter myself.

SO glad I hit on this Lexus.

our ISC is my wife’s

I wanted her to get ultra sonic blue. Found her two, she didn’t want.

she wanted matador/white only. She saw a new on at pebble beach in 2013, and wanted that exact color. I looked all over country. I wanted almost new, less than 10,000 miles

took me 2 years to find. Found it cross country . Car had 7,100 miles , 1 owner

bought it sight unseen. Had it shipped 3 weeks later

we love it. Just turned 12,000 miles now. We have had it 3 years now

Nice! And welcome to the C thread!

I wish I'd shopped for a light interior when I bought my second 350C...Black may be easier to clean but yours will be much cooler in the Florida sun.
