Picked up a used ‘11 and couldn’t be happier with it

Scotty is right! I bought a mint IS 250 from CarMax. This is a dream car for me. A sporty Lexus. It's not a powerful engine, but it's plenty fast. If you wind it up it'll go fast. My main reasons for buying this car is that I loved its looks, I love the comfort and luxury, and it's extremely reliable. The paint on my car looks brand new (it's a metallic midnight blue, but it's so dark it looks black) and surprisingly enough the windshield doesn't have one single chip in it. You can also take these cars to a Toyota dealership and they can work on it far cheaper than a Lexus dealer. This gets nearly 30 miles to the gallon. I'm in love with this car!

Great review as always Scotty!! Definitely makes me consider one!! Thank you!!

Scotty tells the truth and simply speaks his mind for which you are free to like him or hate him. I recently returned from a 9 day trip to Dubai. 99.9 percent of the taxis and Uber cars in dubai are camrys and mid sized Lexuses. The I ones I utilised had mileage between 500,000-700,000 km. To me, they all seemed to be running perfectly fine which I found to be pretty amazing. I have no idea how these things can last so long in stop and go traffic that is Dubai. I guess Toyota and Lexus have some seriously talented engineers who take their work extremely seriously.

That was a great review buddy 🙏🏿💪🏾

Scotty is spot on as usual! Love my IS250

Yup, I love my 2008 IS250 V6 RWD with the sport package. The only major thing I’ve had to deal with is the water pump at around 90,000 miles, other than that is just regular maintenance. The second generation,2006-2013, looks great and can be found for around $10,000 or less. That’s pretty cheap when you consider what you’re getting

I have a first generation Lexus IS300. I absolutely love this car. I've had to do absolutely nothing to it except oil changes, reg. tune ups and brakes. My exhaust system partially went, so i had to replace the 2nd cat. and the muffler last year. I'm going to have to replace it soon as it has rust issues but it still runs like butter. I'm not looking forward to letting it go. I'll just have to buy another one... a 2015 might do it.

I test drove a 350, it was a lot of fun on the curvy roads and the exhaust note sounded glorious

Scotty: "And since this is Mechanic Tuesday, I'm giving one of these away!..." 🤣

The interior is bit cramped (and I'm small fella @ 177cm and bit overweight @85-95Kg's) but it's really a masterpiece on wheels. For a new car, it's extremly expensive for it's size (atleast in EU) but as used car, it's a great choice if you pick one in reasonable condition.

How about the difference in fuel economy between the is350 and is250

I owned 4 car dealerships and have been in the industry for 15 years to say that this car has been my best daily driver. IS250 Fsport package (not the f sport, ...looks amazing)

Scotty finally answered our Q's with the Lexus IS 250 🙌. I'm getting rid of my Ford Fusion and buying one ASAP 😁. Thanks Scotty, and keeping pumping out these informative car videos 🙂

Yup. Get rid of the fusion now. Before the transmission fails. Like mine did. 2014 1.5 Ecoboost. 125,000 miles.

Hey Scotty, I know you said it’s fuel injected. But the IS250 is actually direct injected. I have a 2011 and the 250’s have a little extra maintenance because of the carbon buildup that can occur. Just a heads up for anyone looking for an IS250.

Got an 08 is250 awd with over 160k miles with no issues at all...bought a 16 is300 awd fsport last year and both cars is just fun to drive.. I expect both cars to last well over 250k miles with no major issues...the only major issue I had was to replace the radiator on the 08 couple of years ago. No rattling, still a smooth ride, car looks like its only a few years old even though it's a 12 year old car.:)

Just got myself a 2007 of one of these that’s in great shape and I absolutely love it

How many miles does it have when you purchase it and how much did it cost you ??

@@JulioCNY it had 120k miles when I got it and I bought it for 7k. It’s the All wheel drive version and I got it from a used car dealership, so it could be cheaper if you get it from a private seller or without all wheel drive.

The average 2015 Lexus IS250 on autotrader runs about $26,000. A 5 year old car for $26 grand and we're stupid? If I'm going spend that much money I want the new car smell.

I just wish they didn't require premium gas. That significant added cost over time.

Awesome!!

My Is250 07 AWD is drives like a dream. Smooth and fun to drive. All I changed out was the alternator. Which was a piece of cake.

I have this exact same car the 15 f sport. So happy with my purchase

My Lexus IS has 300k miles on it. Still runs like a champ. Don’t know when it will finally croak, but it’s never leaked any engine oil lol. It’s 💯% Scotty approved. Interior is still like new. And I bet Scotty’s dollar on that one haha.

Do you still have it?

I’ve got a ‘13 IS250 and bought it used. At nearly 140k miles it still drives solid without any breakdowns nor rattles and leaks.

I literally have a 2014 is250 because of this video. Found one well taken care of with 65k miles.. I still love this car.

You're character Scotty! 🙂👍 I might buy one... maybe. Can't believe they're that cheap. And made in Japan! 😲

I am buying a Lexus IS 2014- love the body style and reliability of them. I am getting rid of my Audi A4 and my bmw 3 series tied of all the issues. But my a4 is a six speed I’ll miss it but want to go back to Japanese cars.

Just want to share appreciation for the intro. Really overlooked it for months.

Good video Scotty! I have a 2007 lexus is250 with 170k & going. Got it when it had 140k. What problems should I worry about? I do keep with all maintenance.

Used 2015 for 15k or under low mileage are nice especially the hardtop convertible! New over 40k.

Scotty is making me feel stupid lately.

I love your content! Keep it up!

Hey Scotty, love my 2011 Lexus IS 250. Solid car never have any issues until now, no engine or transmission issues, it’s the front right side of the car, if I’m in reverse backing up out of driveway roll on a small bump a crunching sound is coming from the front end somewhere. The same thing happens in drive also if im pulling into my driveway I hear it, also if I turn my wheel sometimes I hear it. When I come to a stop , it almost sounds like I’m hearing my breaks making the sound, because the sound pauses, as if it followed the timing of the anti lock break compressions, the break noise or the noise the breaks are making isn’t the breaks both rotor and breaks have been changed. I know sound resonates on the metal in the front so it’s hard to determine where the noises coming from. I almost positive the right strut is bad, and the strut mount could be making noise. Also during dry sunny weather it’s the sound is worse, during could humid weather you may not ever hear it. Or one day I sprayed lubricant, over all the front end parts the noise stopped for awhile, but started agin a week later. I should have sprayed one part at a time to isolate the part lol. It has 110,000 miles on it. And still performing strong. Any suggestions is to what is causing this crunching noise?

Had this car 3 years love it!! No problems at all & I haven’t taken the best care given it was my first
