That's right. About 7.5 seconds.

i think you are right but does anyone know why lexus always puts about +.5 seconds?

the lexus site says 7.9 but numerous tests have supposedly shown 7.4 seconds and i've heard that lexus always puts about .5 more...

You should take a look at a new car. Are the leather seats shiny? Absolutely not.

Leather should be matte finished and soft to remain new looking ;)

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude holy crap your're right. im glad i havent put anything on it!

so...how can i keep it matte and soft tho......

i've heard 7.9.....and 7.4 as well

what is it?

mine are getting a little dull

I bought the same model and options plus the mats, cargo net, etc. in Dec. I paid $35200 if that helps.

cool thanks for the reply. was it new?

Hi everyone, I just got my 07 IS 250 AWD last week... I bought it from an infiniti dealership because they had the one I wanted and all the certified pre-owned ones didnt have all the bells and whistles I wanted... Anyway, They still gave me a 100,000 mile warranty...

OK, sorry... my question, when i am making a hard turn or a u-turn where i have to turn the wheel all the way, i hear a grinding sound... I dont know if this is normal... or im just paranoid.

Thanks

doesn't sound normal at all...........i'd check it out quick

so it's time to let my baby go :(

HOW MUCH SHOULD I PRICE IT AT?

2008 Lexus IS 250. Premium Package (wood grain, ac/heated seats), NAVIGATION, bluetooth, etc...

it has 5000 miles. smokey granite mica exterior (gray) and black leather interior.

mint condition.

WHY? Didn't you just buy the thing?

dude its hard enough having to let go. now if you could give me suggestions that'd be nice.

well guys ive decided that it's not a big deal B/C

1) you cannot see it (because it is basically behind the steering wheel on top)

2) you cannot feel it. when i rub my had across the area i can't even tell where it is.

3) i just saved hundreds of dollars on my car insurance by switching to geico (lolol)

so i see "tsb" everywhere...and...well...IVE HAD IT! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!??!? lol

Acetone will dissolve the super glue. It will probably dull the finish on the steering wheel though. Some wax shoe polish might minimize that effect.

would acetone damage the steering wheel? like maybe making a hole or something?

ok so i was super gluing some stuff in my car...and when i opened the cap of the super glue a small tiny drop squirted out ONTO MY STEERING WHEEL...i rubbed

it off and it got SMEARED on it...

it's on top of the steering wheel so u cant see it but STILL how can i get it off?!?!?!

"warming up" a modern engine is about the worst possible thing you can do to it.

Once the engine has oil pressure, which takes about 5 seconds, it's best to just drive it gently for a bit. Idling is bad m'kay?

dude are you serious? come on i usually turn the car on...wait a minute or so to find a song on my ipod i like...then head off and i haven't had a single engine problem.

and to the original post - just drive gently when its cold. works for me.

dude why would u put IS-F accessories on anything but an IS-F?

why would i put a rolls royce emblem on a honda accord?

Nobody said they wanted to. Please pay attention before posting. And there still seems to be a problem with your screen name.

My guestimate would be around 500k, Then rebuild the motor and your good to go.

dude are u being serious or sarcastic?

btw i do not drive like a granny...i mean i use the car...accelerate to 4000 rpm or higher if i need to...

nothing too harsh but i def. dont drive like granny accelerating to 2000 rpm driving at 55mph

i usually drive around 80 mph and rarely more only if i have to pass someone

dude i had the same problem until i came upon some website.

basically u need to make mp3 discs rather than CDs.

1. get a blank disc and put in ure cd drive

2. open so u have a folder where u can drag stuff in it

3. drag music into the folder (u can drag like a 100 mps or more)

4. write the files to the cd by clicking "write files to cd" or something like that

then just put the cd into ure lexus and wala

i maintain it by taking it for service on time.

get it waxed when it needs to be waxed

wash it when its dirty

just normal stuff...

how long do they go? 100,000 miles? 200,000 miles? 400,000 miles?

i have the nav w/o ML...how can i make it a DVD player?

so i got owned by an acura TL....sorte.

we were goin and it was ahead but i didnt let it cut in front of me...so thats good.

i drive the is250...it was in etc pwr mode

any tips on driving faster? gear changes etc?

Finally figured how to post pics of my car!

goo goo gah gah...that is to drool over!

i bet you've been gettin' pretty lucky with your wife lately! haha.

but dude PLEASE post pics of the interior i really wanna see it!!!

I've heard so many stories about gas. As if some of the major brands are going to put inferior gas out there....Barkat speaks the truth!

Some gas brands are better than others.

thanks man I always try to stick with shell b/c of the v power...good to know its on the list. chevron is good but it makes car run a lil slower...dono why.

I have an aftermarket, made a bracket so the display actually "mounts" in the ashtray holder. The antenna is mounted on the left corner of the dash, no exposed wiring and i love where it's at. It took all of thirty minutes and in my opinion looks good (and I'm picky).

dude can u put pics? that sounds tight as hell. i wanna do something like that so i can move the XM or Sirius (whichever one i buy) around to my other car

nah it was 800 tax so all together 35,000

the dealer is charging almost 500 dollars to install satellite radio in my is 250

and i dont want to pay that much...is it cheaper anywhere else?

should i get one of those after market radios and stick it to my windshield?

i paid $34,200 for my '08 lexus is 250 with navigation screen, afs, wood grain, heated/ventilated seats, etc

too much?
