Default Anything I should know before purchasing an is250?

Hello all! Just to make a long story short, I plan on purchasing an 15' is250 f sport in the coming weeks and want to know if there are any inherent issues that I should be aware of before buying it? For example, my friend purchased a 09' A4 a couple years back and he found out after a year that that year (09) and a couple years after that (maybe up to 12'?) A4's become notorious for having a burning oil issue that he had to deal with, it was a huge pain as one could imagine. With that being said, I really don't want to get stuck with anything like that. I heard that Lexus had issues with carbon buildup issues, is that still the case in the year 14'/15' models? Are there any other issues I should know about on the 15' or 14' year models? Thanks in advance for any help that you give, I really appreciate it!

you should first ask yourself if you really want a 250 or if you want an ISF

only issue to be wary of is it not being able to get out of its own way, only recurring issue all IS250 have
