Hi all, newby to the community here, joined as I've recently bought a 2008 IS250.  I'll likely be asking some stupid questions over the coming weeks/months, so please be gentle with me.  😓

New to the marque but have owned one Toyota [Corolla hatchback.many years ago which served me well.  Thanks for having me aboard.

Excellent car , I’m newish to brand too after many Hondas which proved to be indestructible , the Lexus has the extra nice finish So far so good ! Welcome .

A very good choice. I still have a soft spot for the Gen 2 IS - had lots of fun in mine.

Hello John and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is and especially ownership of the superb is250. 

What made you choose this car? What did you gave before this car? Which spec is it? We do like to see photos of new members cars so don't be shy.

Look in the gen 2 IS section of the forum. There's one thread in particular you should read. All you need to know about the is250.

Thanks Lads, I came from a succession of BMWs, the latest an e60 with virtually all the toys. It even had working indicators......👈👉  😁

I'd been looking for something like a 3 series, but anecdotal reports seemed to claim a decline in reliability and, in particular, poor Dealers poor service levels.  Shame, but there you go.

Here's a few pics from the sales ad, looked to have everything I'd need/want so I went for it.  Hope you like.

Looks like you got the SE-L top spec model and the same colour spec as mine. Good choice 👍
