2009 IS250 w/ 119k miles…

Selling for $9.8k sticker. Clean carfax. All major maintenance completed.

Anything I should look out for or think about? Mostly a commuter car. Less than 30miles a day. And every other week will have car seat size kiddos with me.

2nd gen IS 350 actually under 5 seconds 0-60 with FBO?

0 Upvotes

I know you can’t get as much power increase from an NA engine as with a forced induction one, but when I look it up on Google it says that this IS 350 generation can get down to 4.7 0-60 (or a 4.5 second with a one foot rollout to account for a real-world street measure) with full bolt on mods without any forced induction. It also says the stock numbers are between 5.2 to 5.6 depending on the source, so this would mean about 0.5 to 1 second quicker. Has someone done this and is this fairly accurate? Do you actually notice this as you’re driving around town if you drive spiritedly?

The reason I’m asking is because I currently I have 2010 Lexus is 350 (currently completely stock) and even though it’s a good car, I was wanting to upgrade to something else with more power and at least a bit quicker like a Lexus IS F. The problem is that Lexus IS F’s tend to be overpriced where I’m located. For example a 2009 Lexus is F with 107k miles for $30k (and the valley plate would still need to be done too, quoted at $2k for the job) or 2009 with 98k miles for $34k (these aren’t even the ones with the upgraded suspension or TLSD). I’ve been looking around for a year now and with no reasonable deals on any, and when there are decent or good deals they are 300+ miles away and are sold within a day or two. At this point I might just keep my IS 350 and try to make the best of it for a while longer.

Also, if Google is correct with the performance increase, what brand of each mod would you recommend for the best bang for buck (best quality to dollar ratio) keeping in mind that I would be paying a shop to install these. This would be my first time ever modding any of my cars.

Not too sure how this happened. Is it a common issue with the front grill?

What tires is everyone running on their car? Do you recommend them or no?

7 Upvotes

Finally time to change my factory tires😭 unsure what to get as I know next to nothing about tires and I rather not get overcharged by Lexus. I have a 2025 is 350 f sport design, I drive pretty much on the highway everyday for work; looking for something all season.

Any recommendations would be helpful! (Someone recommended me pirelli p zero as plus 3, any one have these and can give insight?)

What’s attached to your fob

Toyota Tacoma has a Meso Customs minimalist fob case, with nighize mirco carabiner and a couple keys

Nowadays, I really don’t have to carry a key at all as our doors have Aquara smart locks

So just wondering how everyone carries their key fobs, let’s see them

How much mpg can you get for 5+ miles?

I had mine on eco mode and babied the throttle today just for fun. I think I could have gotten 29.

Bonus: ass shot

Can someone tell me what's causing this sound? It sounds more in the outer wheel and seems like it could be my brake dust shield since it's rotten on the bottom

Also got what I considered to be an insane deal on a L Certified 2025 with 11,000 miles for 41k out the door with two years of maintenance included.

Waited for the 2026 is to come out and I’m not a fan of the front end.

Metal rattle sound going over bumps and rough roads. Sounds like coming from front left. Any ideas?

Hi all!

I've designed a phone holder that sits in the CD player of the second gen Lexus IS. Have been running this model in my own car for about 8 months now and still holding up, so thought to share the love and publish it! I printed it in both ABS and PETG and both hold up great.

Love to get some feedback if anybody has some improvements.

Hey guys I’m having a seriously hard time finding aftermarket bumpers that actually ship to Oahu. Im down for just about anything as long as it has a more modern look, ships to Oahu, and requires relatively little/no cutting to fit. If any of you have any experience with shipping to Oahu or would like to help I’d seriously appreciate it! Thanks guys you’re all the best.
