IS250 ‘Problems’……

[Texas]

Is it a bad car, I don’t think so.

It's like any car. If you take care of it, they're great. If it's been abused and not maintained, it'll be a dog. IS250s included. IS250s, unlike many other cars, are problem free if maintained well. If you pick some IS250 competitors from the same year, with the same mileage and same service history, the IS250 would have had significantly fewer "faults" over the course of its now 19 years of life. (If we look at a 2005 example).

Alternator, Water pump, spark plugs, aux belt, thermostat etc are normal service items at higher mileage.

Most of his woe’s were people crashing into him🙄 but imagine if he had a BMW or any other Germanic with a persistent EML😂 he sure would appreciate  ‘reliability’ then.
