hi, new member here looking for some insight into purchasing an IS250 or IS350.

Quote of 35.4k plus fees for IS350. Opinions/Advice? Thanks

Did you buy the IS after all? FYI---brakes and tires wear out really fast...every 15K-20K miles. The car is awesome, but I wish I would have known this before I got it. That price sounds pretty good though. Did it include Navigation?

Too bad I didn't see this information last week. I took my 2006 IS350 into the dealer (Lexus Carlsbad) on Friday for the 15,000 mile service and told them to check the brakes that they were making a lot of noise. They called me back later saying they were worn out and needed to be replaced. They also tried to tell me it was my driving habits that wore the brakes out early (which is not true because I drive the freeway every day to work). They said they wouldn't need to replace the rotors and could machine them down. The brake replacement cost me $367 which I thought was very expensive for front brake pads. I just wrote the dealer a letter and sent them a copy of the Technical Service Information Bulletin that was posted on this Forum. Stay tuned.

I'm sad that I didn't see these posts before I got the car. I love the car but not enough to replace brakes and tires every 8 months. I have 23k miles on my 2006 IS350 and the service guy told me I need to get new brakes and tires. I drive 25-30K miles a year and this is going to get expensive. Have you had to replace your tires yet? I was told that if I have good driving habits that I would only have to replace them every two years...what a joke.
