Im shocked that no one here mentioned that the 08's have a BAD problem with pulling to the right. Mine was horrendous. Its not easy to fix either if you can even get your lexus dealership to acknowledge the problem....

Good point, staman. A good number of members have been unhappy with the pull, but there are a few threads with regards to realigning so that it becomes minimal at best; see lobuxracer's thread. Also, with an 08, if the OP happens to get one with the wheels being neglected to be cleaned, brake dust and wheel pitting are sure to be present. Other than that, the only real complaint for me when the car first came out was the lack of aftermarket support. Four years later, there is a good amount of performance, aesthetic, and interior modding available, but it'd be nice if there were more. I've been thoroughly happy with mine, with the compliments I get and the many gazers whenever I park at places. It certainly is a beautiful car in my eyes, and one I hope the OP sees as well. Best of luck!

Only couple things that bother me - first is the gap between the front fender and the tire, it almost seems like the car is lifted in the front - second is that there are no superchargers available. - other than those two little things its a great car

Great car, I have an 08' and lucky it never had the pulling issue.
I also came from a ISx50 and couldn't be happier.
For me the lack of mods avalible is a good self control feature.

The car is awesome. Driving it never gets old. I've had mine for a few weeks.

I hate the fact that I can't leave any electronics charging while the car is turned off. When done, it doesn't charge.

I also hate the fact I can't lock the car when it's running.

Is there any one that knows a workaround for these issues? Thanks

i'm not sure if the cooling feature on the isX50's are an option or stock....but i'm pretty sure when i hopped in a buddy's is350 he had an option for cooling the seat and also heating the seat. So you may miss your cooling seats, our F's are only heated, not both heated and cooled......but the car is amazing, i love everything about it. Also, mine never pulled to the right, thank god

Thanks for the great feedback guys. I called the seller back-up and if everything goes well, I'll rejoin the Lexus family tomorrow

1SexyLexus- Oh trust me I've been infected with the mod bug lol. Here's a shot of my old IS350 just parted out a month ago.




dLad- I'm not too worry about the cooling/heating seats as I never use them on my IS before. I rather they not have them so I can save even more weight
