Just took delivery of my Certified Pre-Owned 2014 IS250 awd, in Atomic Silver, cream coloured leather, navi etc., less than 28k kms on the clock. The car was in immaculate condition; couldn't find a mark on it anywhere, not even any stone chips (ok, it had the clear bra). My first Lexus, and I am overawed with the ride quality, lack of noise, fit and finish, handling. Wow!
Nothing like a good book to read (aka Owners Manual), so you know what I'll be doing for the next few days [Taking the long way round everywhere, and curling up with the "good book to read"]

Had to mention this..... everyone seems to talk about the size (or lack of it) of the navi screen. I guess it must be all relative - its almost 3 times the size of my current Garmin, and I'm actually overjoyed with the increase in size!!!

Nice, congrats!! Enjoy your new ride. Notice you're from Vancouver, BC as well. Was this from OpenRoad Lexus Richmond? I purchased my pearl white 2015 IS250 there!

As for everyone complaining about the navi screen, I think it's because there's those 2 black bezels on the side which make the screen look smaller than it actually is. Lexus could of just stuck a 10" screen from the beginning.

Yes, I live in Mission. And yes, I picked it up from OpenRoad Lexus Richmond. They were pretty decent to deal with.
Do you meet up with other owners in the Vancouver area?

I joined the Club Lexus Vancouver Facebook group, but not much activity at all. I just go to Revscene Spring/Summer meets.

Finally getting paint sealant applied a few weeks after clear bra/tint install. Detailed at Lavaggio, SoCal's finest, and possibly the US's finest detail facility. Indoor climate controlled detailing area http://www.lavaggio.net/
