  1. Upgraded my stock wheels to an exact set of chrome wheels and the originals need to go. Asking $300 OBO. Buyer pays shipping (should not be more than $100 unless to HI or AK). Wheels are an 8 out of 10. contact me at lee2464@cableone.net or 228.860.5824.

  2. When I open my is 350s trunk I notice a small square cover on either side. I have not found in my owners manual what it is used fro. I did a search here, but to no avail. If anyone knows what it is please let me know.

    ps I am not talking about the tow hook cover on the bumper...

  3. I have the ML option on my car, so I am speaking from that perspective...I am torn between listening with the surround sound on and the surround sound off. Sometimes it sounds so rich and full when on, but other times I like the purity of the traditional ML sound wothout the surrouns sound feature active. I am curious as to how others listen to their music? Surround on or off?

  4. Hi everyone,

    I'm looking into the IS350 + premium plus (with 18'inch wheels) + Navi/ML packages and wanted to know if it's worth going for the ML option and the 18'inch wheels? Also, if I'm assuming this car with all these packages will not be available at the dealer so I'll have to place an order with them. I have a few questions and would really appreciate if you could help me out here:

    1. How many days/months am I looking at before I can get the IS? Does it take a long time for the order to come?

    2. Does the dealer give out a loaner car during this period?

    3. Also, is edmunds a reliable source to get the pricing information?

    4. If I want a really good deal, is it advisable to go through the internet pricing dept. or is it better to negotiate when at the dealer?

    5. Lastly, I'm also looking into BMW 328 (they got a face lift for 2009), just wondering how would you compare the IS350 with that car? would you choose the IS over the BMW?

    Thank you.

    The particualr model you want is a very popular combination and you should be able to find without special ordering. As for pricing there is a thread here with all the pricing and options pricing. Right now, is a good time to buy an '08 so dealing with the internet mgr or a salesperson probably doesn't matter. As for the BMW...if you want speed the 350 will DUST the 328! If you want more luxury, refinement, and creature comforts, than get the 350. If you prefer more driver feel and interaction than BMW. Drive both and I am sure you will get the IS350

  5. Lexus of Mobile, AL rocks! Called about my brake dust and refenced the TSA info from here, and they put on new pads right away. I also mentioned that the excessive brake dust had left my front drivers wheel very rough compared to the other 3 wheels, and they replaced it! Also threw in a free chrome license plate holder even though I did not purchase the car from them. Too bad I only have 2500 miles left on my warranty :(

    2007 IS 350-Smokey granite Mica

    Luruxy package w/ nav and Levinson

    18" Chromed OEM wheels

    XM radio

  6. 2007 IS 350 -- Smokey Granite Mica that hides dirt much better than I thought.

    I am the secind owner and the car has 44,000 miles on it. But on the flip side I did get a good deal.

    Car has Nav w/ML stereo, vented seats, back up camera, sunroof, 18" wheels with offset.

    Paid $30,500 and have added the following so far:

    XM radio

    All weather mats

    Tinted windows

    New rubber all the way around (Michelin Pilots)

    Zero problems noted, luckily previous owner had car serviced at dealership regularly, even had the 45,000 mile service done befroe I bought it from her.

  7. Recently purchased a 2007 IS 350 with Premium package and Navigation w/Mark Levinson. Absolutely love the car, but I can never leave well enough alone. I have tinted the windows, bought new rubber, installed a Sirius Sat radio, added Lexus tire valve stem caps, Lexus all season mats, and now I want to upgrade the wheels. I am leaning on keeping them OEM, as I have had some bad luck with the quality of some aftermarket wheels. I love the G spider wheels and I can get them shipped to my house from Sewell Lexus Parts for $940, or I can go with a Chromed version of the wheels I have for $580, on condition that I exchange my current wheels for the chromed ones. I would appreciate any thoughts the forum members have on my wheels choices. Right now I am leaning toward the G Spiders...
