  1. I would never buy a vehicle if an accident showed up on a car fax report, the accident was obviously significant enough to had been reported. On the other hand it gives you quite a bit of negotiating power, if you had your heart set on it.
  2. I have the complete package, ML which is awsome, and I had that sound cutting out problem. It was a loose connection at the amp they figuered it out pretty quick. no sound from the wheel. yet I only have 6k on the vehicle. If you want the best experenice go with full options.
  3. Had my 350 for 3 months, not any rattles but the ac has a light whistle to it and that is new. I get over 20 mpg and I have over 300 horse. I would suggest you reconsider and go after the 350, the vehicle is extreemly fun and the 4-5k difference=years of fun.
  4. I dont think you can physically steal the IS x50 (unless someone tows it) ... if someone breaks into the IS, the engine immobilzer activates, meaning your car engine shuts down ... hence rendering it useless. Am I correct in my understanding? Any car can be stolen if an experienced theif wants it. I had the early warning lo jack installed only $650, now if the car moves more than 10 yards, they call me,send emails, call the house phone, next of kin gets notified. I took it for warranty work and forgot to leave the lo jack receiver(a small device that I have attached to the key ring) I got notified almost the second I left the dealer ship. So If it gets towed I will get notified immediately.. An extremely great investment that was very affordable.
  5. The IS350 is not the IS300. It's a vastly nicer car inside, and a vast;y better performer in stock form, but it doesn't have a 2JZ under the hood. There's little to nothing you can do to it to add significant power for any reasonable amount of money. There's barely anything you can do for UNreasonable amounts of money honestly. Well then I guess I won't be messing with it every day Like I was with the 300, Oh well Now I can spend more time with my wife =>
  6. I would still be interested to know what it would take and approximate cost. Has anyone done this conversion on an IS350? Thanks for any feedback on this. Yeah You can find this info on most forums in the faq section. Acually I did this this Morning took about 2 hours and the trust on the directions I had but It was a complete sucess=) Just have to beable to pull the whole nav unit and cut and splice a couple of wires on the back and ground the e-brake wire. Pretty sketchy tearing the center counsel out of your brand new is350 and cutting wires. But this is the way best thing I have done so far. Now I am a pro. I guess someone could charge $300 to do this job. Hint hint

  8. That is great My 350 is 17.8 but I am pushing every thing this can give today I took an evo8 by a full car length and this thing is still stock woohoo cant believe this thing, had a friend in the car and at 130 he said he was going to throw up if I didn't slow down I gave him a bag and said shut up or get out. Anyways this car is a rocketship quite a difference from my previous is300 that was dynoed at 238 horse at the rear wheels. but to get there I played and spent many dollars.
  9. Yea I got it And I got it cheap 37500 out the door and they gave me much more for my is300 than it was worth, What an upgrade like night and day the 350 is the most fun I have had in a long time. I am glad lexus started to be serious about this. Mine is still stock but not for long I own an auto repair shop, not a highperformance shop but I have conections and I cant wait to see what I will end up with. We were playing with the 300 I used to have on a daily basis Hopefully I can evade that and just set it up nice the first try and then leave it alone.
