2021 AWD IS 350 Caviar with (Flare) Red Interior. Listed for Just under 29k with over 110k miles. Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I’m back looking for everyone’s opinion before I pull the trigger on this 2023 Lexus IS 350 F SPORT AWD.

I’ve been shopping for a 2023+ IS 350 AWD for a while and I think I found one that checks almost every box, but I’d appreciate some opinions before I commit.

2023 Lexus IS 350 F SPORT AWD
● Ultra White / Circuit Red interior
● 24,426 miles
● 1-owner personal lease
● Clean CARFAX (no accidents or damage)
● Original MSRP: ~$55,800

Options:
● F SPORT Handling Package (AVS)
● Mark Levinson audio
● Triple Beam LED headlights
● Navigation
● Memory Package
● Moonroof
● Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking

The CARFAX shows consistent maintenance, mostly at the Lexus dealer. One thing I noticed is the steering rack was replaced under warranty around 17k miles and the car also had an alignment and three tires replaced around that time. Everything else looks clean.

The dealer’s pricing is:
Selling price: $45,598
Doc fee: $499
Total before tax: $46,097
I’m in Massachusetts, so after the 6.25% sales tax I’m looking at roughly a $49k out-the-door price before registration.

A few questions for people who know these cars:

1. Does this seem like a fair deal, or would you hold out for something better?
2. What would you realistically try to negotiate the selling price down to?
3. Would the steering rack replacement concern you if it was done by a Lexus dealer under warranty?
4. Is there anything specific I should inspect or ask about before buying?

I’ve looked at quite a few IS 350s over the past few months, and this is by far the best-equipped one I’ve found. I’m just trying to make sure I’m not overlooking anything before I move forward. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I have a 2019 Lexus IS 300 RWD that’s currently on the stock 17” wheels. I’m upgrading to 18x9.5 Enkei T6R wheels (+35 offset) and I’m not sure what tire size I should go with.
My goals are:
Daily driving with good comfort
Good grip
No rubbing on stock suspension
Clean, flush fitment
I’ve been looking at sizes like 245/40R18, 255/35R18, and 265/35R18, but I’m not sure which would be the best choice.
What tire size would you recommend for all four corners? If you’re running a similar setup, I’d love to see photos and hear your experience.

Thanks in advance!

CD player cover will not open. Any suggestions?

I just bought my first Lexus not too long ago and realized only the left side of my radio ( Climate, Radio, DISP, and Info ) works. And the right side doesn't at all, no screen either. It just shows the message " The external system is not connected ". I checked all radio fuses with a multimeter while set on continuity ( speaker logo ) it beeps and displays (.02). Which I believe means the fuse is good. I also pulled out the radio and didn't see anything unplugged.

Does anyone/ did anyone have this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Gotta take a better video but I’m wondering if the meter would round out entirely if I do a donut.

Came back from work to find 3 white IS F-Sports

I daily the car and these are both the street variants. Either figs or rr racing.

Found some fog lights on AliExpress, but they are for 21-25 models. I was curious if anyone has tried to install something similar on thier 2026 IS350?

I have a 2016 Lexus is300 base model, awd, 105k miles. For a few months now, my check ABS light along with traction control have been coming on. There doesn’t seem to be anything else wrong, it feels fine when driving and braking, and I also don’t hear anything when braking. It will come on randomly and stay on until I shut the car off. When I start the car again the lights go away. Sometimes it stays off for a while, sometimes it will randomly come back on. I’ve tried googling this issue and the closest thing I can come to is possibly needing to get the codes read/reset. My issue is it comes on and off randomly, so I feel like if the lights aren’t on, there’s no use in bringing it in somewhere because the problem isn’t presenting itself. Any ideas to what this could be or how to fix? Thank you!

I purchased this Lexus about two months ago and i absolutely love it. The first thing I did to it was the chrome delete around the windows. Today i got the mirrors and roof wrapped professionally. What other tasteful visual modifications can I make to make it look more aggressive and sleek. Would black rims look better? I’m thinking black badges for sure but I’m not sure what else I could/ should change.

My first Lexus! Did some shopping and ended up with this 2011 is250 AWD, has 110k miles. I have a few simple mods planned. What should I know about the car though? Anything I should have looked at right off the bat? I do know about the carbon buildup but I've read it's less of an issue in the later years of the 2nd gens. Thanks!

Hey all! Car is a 2017 IS350 Fsport AWD with 65,000 miles. Just recently started hearing this sound and I'm trying to diagnose what it could be. There is a loud whining sound that changes pitched based off speed. It is more noticeable at highway speeds but I can hear it whenever the car is moving. I put the car into neutral and the sound didn't change at all. It sounds like something spinning really fast. Has anyone experienced this or perhaps know what it could be? My mechanic isn't available until August so wasn't sure how bad it is to drive with it.

Thanks in advance!

I’m buying a crashed 08, ISF. Crash bar is gone and took most of damage but front bumper cover/grille/headlights are toast. Has anyone done a tube/square steel custom front clip ? Looking for some inspiration. TIA !

Are they even exist? I cant find anything in Europe or Aliexpress.
Any ideas? Or only way is getting F-Sport bumper first?

I got diffuser and nice duck tail but no luck with finding anything for front...

I hope its just not me searching it wrong...

Edit: Found one on ali after jumping thru 4 items
