Beautiful car man. Take good care of her and she will last for ever. And u got the best color too

I bought my 2012 IS 350 with 114k miles on it 3 years ago. 120k on that Toyota 3.5 liter V6 isn’t high mileage at all. It’s just starting to break that engine in. Mine has 176k on it now, and it’s still running like a Swiss watch. The AWD system is solid. Mine is a RWD, but you can’t go wrong with either trim. It looks like you’ve made a great buy man. Keep up on the routine maintenance, and the car won’t let you down. Can wait to see you mod it!👍🏽

Excited to see the build 🎉 congrats

Wanna be car enthusiast? You sound like a legit car guy to me bro. I can just tell. You know what you’re talking about.

Congrats on joining the Lexus fam. I picked up my 07 is350 rwd about a month ago and I have zero regrets. I've owned a couple ls400s and a gs350 awd which I really regretted selling. I had the same thought process with the 250 and I 100% think its worth it to wait or spend a little extra to get the 2gr

Dude I literally just posted a video with the new headlights kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaV-y7drhM7XXaw.html

I had an is250. Now have a 350. Is250 was good but no comparison to 350. 100+ more horsepower.

Only thing I'd say to watch out for is the amplifier in the trunk and make sure it's protected from the weather because that is a common problem

What was the asking price, how did the negotiation go, and how much did you ultimately pay?

I have an 08 350 with 259,000 mi ..i didnt take care of it at all the way I should've I had to make the decison to fix it this yr (transmission rebuild) I did that and i am so happy with my decision. Its driving beautifully. Because i made that decisioon, i decided to go all in and have fun with it, it looks like a brand new car with the cosmetic mods already...i've upgraded the vland headlights, grill, vland tail lights, led reflectors... fog lights, interior wrap, xpel pr 5% tint 15% rear 35% windshield xpel pr pro. I did chrome delete the window outline I added rain visors (idk if i will keep it but ilike them) Next for me is suspension, my suspension is worn do to age I would like to lower it an inch when i replace the parts( idk much about cars either) and get an exhaust... rims and be done there. I also have the same color as you. Im enjoying this tbh i have never worked on my car until i gathered the courage to do the headlights and I enjoyed it a lot. Getting info on the suspension that will be good is intimidating though because i Want to lower it but dont want to sacrifice something else by doing it. I will keep an eye on your chanel. If you get any info on updating the infotainment sys pls post. I tried to upgrade but was told they dont make them for 2nd gen 350 with navi & I was pretty bummed about it. Anyways congrats this car is truely timeless ! Great looking car

Haha I just bought a 2006 is350, absolutely love it! 128k miles drives like a new car!

Did you find out if there is any issue with the rust?

I’m getting one tomorrow hopefully for 5500 cash with 160k on the clock. Just needs new front lights

Does look pretty clean for the age. I couldn't find ANY 350s within 100 miles of me with less than 200k so I ended up with a last gen t6 p3 volvo

Just bought mine too, 2006 right hand drive IS350 RWD from Japan. Absolute mint car. These don't make 306 to the crank; dyno'd mine at 243 to the wheel so roughly ~280 to the crank. Yours loses even more as its AWD so maybe 20-25% powertain loss. Back seats are NOT vented btw

You said you want dual exhaust but that car has dual exhaust. You might've meant quad tips

Only the front seats are ventilated.

Exhaust is probably stock, looks like the owner had new mufflers weld on.

Back seats are not ventilated just the front!

Is is a very good car

I got 2007 Lexus is 350 and i also did drive corolla but the power on the is350 is amazing but your is350 is way better then mine. It has back shade and headlight washer and my did not come with that. Which really sucks and I was hopping to get one but it didn't. You lets us hear the cold air intake I wanna hear it !

UPDATE (VIDEO COMING SOON) 07/30/23 *I got into an accident (my back bumper was ripped off and my side panel scratched and dented) because an ambulance (no lights on) was being driven by a young EMT who didn't measure how close he was to my IS350 and floored the gas pedal.

i have the same car 2011 lexus is350 awd and I had a 250 and yes you would have regretted it.

I bought a 2is in 2020 and my only regret? It’s an atrocious IS250! Well, I can’t really complain since it was practically given to me after my 2004 Corolla was totaled by a drunk driver. My aunt sold it to me for a very good price. To get a 2is 350 now? I don’t want to shelve out the money for a car that looks very similar to what I have now. So far the IS250 doesn’t give me issues and is reliable. I will keep my slow IS250 then.
