Hello from Neilo

[Neilo]

Hi, nice to meet you all .

Just bought a 2006 IS250 Petrol Auto - what a beautiful car! I'm busy picking up some missing bits and bobs for it but otherwise the car is all working perfectly.

Hope I can pick up a few tips with you and I'll chip in if I can to help anyone along the way. 

All the best

Neilo🖐️

Hi Neil and welcome to Lexus ownership especially the is250 👍and the best Lexus forum there is. We're here to help when you need and want it. Just look in the gen 2 IS section as there's loads of threads in there to read and learn. Enjoy your car. A few photos would be nice. What spec car is yours? What made you go for a Lexus and especially the is250? What was your previous car?

Thanks for the lovely welcome Vladimir, I'll post some pics of it soon - it's a SE-L Petrol Auto, Astral Black with 93K on the clock. Weve never had a car like it, it's like a different world to sit in and drive. We looked at all different types of automatic cars and couldnt choose one at first (wife and I have medical issues so auto only) then we spotted a Lexus, it took us a while to choose the right one but eventually we have a lovely IS250 🙂

Hello vate dome, thank you - I hope you are enjoying your Lexus 🙂 

[Mr Vlad]

Hello Vate. Welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. I see you have a 2021 RX350? Is that a typing error?

Hi, so heres a few pic's of the new to us IS250 - a couple of things were missing - tow hook, centre engine cover, all the engine bay panel clips were broken and a door key cap... all now replaced 🙂 The paint had flaked off on the wiper arms below the hinges - now repainted.  Theres still a broken rear reflector in the bumper and not so happy with the cheap Chinese tyres that will have to go also the wheels need a refurb. Not so bad for a 16 year old car 🙂 🙂 very happy with it.

Don't do it  .  keep your mind always active otherwise one might deteriorate ...

Charlie Munger is 99 and Warren Buffet, his Boss,  about 96  now  .  they founded Berkshire Hathaway and working keeps 'em alive and thinking good
