Here is the cost of the repairs, here are the future repairs Ill probably have to do, etc etc. Maybe talk about if you had a 3 series, c class, or cts - what expensive repairs they would have had to do to get to 166k that you didnt have to do

    The IS350 is the absolute best used car you can get on planet earth right now for around $10,000. Nothing beats it in terms of performance, luxury, build quality and reliability. If they made these in manual, it would command about double its current price point and would be a collector/enthusiast top pick.

      Know of a Lexus (Es I guess, around mid 1990's model) that hasn't even been serviced for about 10 years. It still ran but when it was borrowed, the borrower took it to the dealer and the dealer found that the car was out of alignment and many other problems. But the thing seemed to keep on running. ( Not suggesting anyone to not service their car)

      AOMechMarine AOMechMarine I’d have to disagree with you there. My personal choice(that I’ve also owned) would be the Infiniti G37, mainly because it’s reliable and cheap yet offers a lot of performance and aftermarket as well. However both the G and IS350 aimed at the Germans and offered not only luxury and reliability, but great handling and great power. The TSX and TL are decent, but are fwd or awd and don’t offer anywhere near the same straight line performance as the G37/IS350. The TL also has an ugly beak, but that’s neither here nor there. The Lexus ES is basically a tatted up Camry, offering nothing other than reliable and comfortable ownership. The GS is better than ES due to RWD but still not a great performer for the 3rd gen(since we’re naming cars of the same time period). As far as a single guy, I’m married with a dog and daily drive a Lexus ISF, basically the much more hopped up version of the IS350 and owned the G37S coupe and sedan before. All of them offer more than enough space for a couple with a kid or a dog. Yes, the IS backseat is small, but workable. The IS350 is a great value for the 5 sec flat, mid13 quarter performance. Those were very nearly C5 numbers in 2005 test still quick in 2019. All of the cars you and I have named are reliable, but even as a G lover I’d have to say the IS350 is more reliable and the blend of reliability, sporty handling, luxury touches, and straight line performance for the small cost can’t be denied.

    Man I drove an IS 350 a couple times as a loaner from about this year. Super comfortable, very nice interior, and the engine was smooth and pulled real nice, especially on the highway. Styling has aged well. On a side note, this was a loaner from the dealership my ex bought her 2008 Lexus Rx 350 from, which I'm sorry to say Scotty, proved to be somewhat of a dog. We brought it in for repair numerous times for major issues that were luckily still under warranty. We drove to her parents house one morning and smelled oil coming from the car. When we arrived at her parents house we found her car was leaking heavily from the front of the engine. It had to be towed to the dealership and we didn't see it again for a month or so. I can't remember what the problem was, this was a while back, but the car has less than 20k miles at the time. Also, her car had a problem with a sensor malfunction that needed repair. Lexus is usually solid so to have these issues with a vehicle like that was shocking and disappointing to say the least.

    I have an 06 Lexus IS350 , I’ve loved the car since I got it. I mean what’s not to love, great power (306hp) (277 ft lbs) (3500lbs) , very luxurious and amazing handling. The only problems I’ve had with the IS350 is that the interior soft touch paneling will deteriorate ( they have a recall and will replace and interior panels.) also the transmission rear main seal had to be replaced since it was leaking at around 150,000 miles. $500-$1300 job depending on where you go. Other than that the engine pulls like no other V6 I’ve been in, feels like a V8. I’ve raced and won against plenty of N/A V6 & V8s along with twin turbo 335is.

      Nah, there are plenty out there. Not nearly as common as the 250 which I got a few weeks ago, but they're to be found, for sure. Just know that because of the low profile tires, the ride doesn't feel anything like the larger Lexus vehicles, and it will be more prone to some rattles. You have to be careful about potholes, too. One last thing; mine is a 2011 and has Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 tires, and being that they're a bit worn, they're noisy as hell. If you really hate road noise, be aware of the tires your used Lex comes with, and if they will get louder with age, because the Michelin Pilot Sports definitely will.

    I've owned all of these so called luxury cars, infinitis, BMWs, Mercedes, trust me none of them can beat the Lexus is350 in it's class, I've had a Lexus is350 bought it at 95k miles, drove it for a year and sold it in about 155k miles, it didn't give me any issues until the end which was the fuel pressure sensor, the car wouldn't crank, it wouldn't start, it was in "safety mode" which made me feel in love with it even more because if it was any other car I would've had to replace the whole engine instead of just the fuel pressure sensor, other than that I've done my maintenance regularly, no issues compared to the way I drive which is really bad no car had been tough enough to stand it, other than the is350 miss my devil so much 💯, I currently own a g37S 2013, it's a lovely car but I would still choose the Lexus is350 anyday over it, and over any other car in it's class, it's time for me to get an IS-F!!!

      Mùsã sålâr How's the 2013 G37? It's my dream car since I'm a kid, but is350/250 are slowly taking its spot.
      GS350 Is heavenly, but way too pricey

      @@Samy-fk5tg Depending on the condition it's a good car, long run it would beat the Lexus is350 speed wise, it has more space, like every other car it has it's own pros and cons but Idk if it's just me I would still chose a Lexus is350 over it anyday!!

    This is cool. I have been thinking about purchasing an IS 350 last few months. This is good to see. I will be making a move in July. Probably get a 2012 or 2013.

      @@jerryl10000 haha I have a 07 with 75k miles. Love it have alot of subtle upgrades but not riced out. Have the Lexus door projectors. Limo tint all around. Vland headlights Vland Tailights duckbill spoiler but not the huge one that goes down the backside of the trunk. And have a fsport carbon fiber shifter. Also have about $4k in audio I carried over from my Navigator. Cars dope. Pretty slow but still a fun little car I love it except that melting dashboard is getting me worried.

      White Boy correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t there a recall on the dashboard a while back for that reason. They’ll replace the dash for no charge.

    I would've bought the Lexus IS350 if the rear seats folded down! I loved these cars. They pulled really nice
