Is350 For Sale

A very rare 350 here, wonder what hp this puts out?

The age is probably only thing against me, I would prefer something 2010 ish when I trade up.

Wow would love an IS350. Mentions 385 bhp in the advert.

I think that went for an absolute bargain!

looks cheap alright, getting insurance on all them mods though.......

I'm the new owner, and quite chuffed with it too! The thing goes like the clappers... haven't had a chance to get it dyno'd yet, as there are a few things that need putting right with it.

Insurance on this was actually pretty reasonable, at £780, in London!

Congratulations on your purchase, I'm very jealous! B)

You should definitely treat us to a few more photos!

Thanks! It's such a shame Lexus never sold the IS350 here. Not quite sure of the logic behind selling the ISF here but not the 350, but ours is not to reason why I suppose!

I've got it in the workshop now to replace various bits and pieces. Then I'm going to tone it down a bit - it's a little too boy-racer for my liking at the moment. I prefer the clean, stock look for maximum wolf in sheep's clothing impact!

Look forward to seeing the results. I would have done the same with the boy racery stuff. Would prefer to have it as more of a street sleeper with maybe one or two flashy bits!

I would have got a 350 if i could, I looked into getting one from Japan but on hindsight I would be better off spending more and getting a ISF, albeit quite a bit more but still.

I was close to buying an ISF myself - in fact that's exactly what I was searching for on eBay when I came across this 350. The ISF does have the edge over this in the raw power stakes, but at the price I paid for this I can't say that I mind terribly!

That said, and having driven the stock 350 previously, had Lexus sold the 350 on these shores I'm pretty sure I would have bought one and not thought to spend all that extra on an ISF. 300 odd bhp from the stock motor is plenty for me!

I am in the same boat, I would definitely consider a 350 if i could get one, As it stands I think I will take the plunge next year and buy a F, I have heard nothing but good stuff about them.
