Got my 08 RWD IS250 w/ 145k miles about 9 months ago for a lil over 6k. Absolutely in love with her! Smooth, comfortable, not incredibly fast, but athletic & capable… & just such a timeless design. I think if you can take one of these babies home, especially with straight cash, you’ve taken a major win. Kudos for a great video!

Proud Lexus owner here! and I can say that nothing beats the quality build and long term performance of my 2005 ES330!!! Amazing car

I got an AWD with almost 153k miles if you consider that high mileage. It shifts completely fine, no issues with it. I did a drain and fill on it around 145k and got it with 142k. I think they last if they are taken care of and serviced with new fluid.

Wow... I just bought my 2006 Lexus is 250 with only 9900 miles on it with only one owner for $8900💪 I absolutely love it ❤🎉

I was going to get this but decided to bite the bullet and get a 2008 ISF for a hefty price of 27k. They’re kinda rare and that’s why it’s so expensive. But wow … a V8 in this car is beyond phenomenal. A smile every time I push the gas pedal. Exhilarating.

I have a 2006 IS250 w/244k on it. My transmission just gave me an issue..the shifter solenoid went bad…but check this, it still drove and shifted fine except at stops/yields…so I drove it as a manual and used neutral to get around it.

It’s in the shop now. I decided to replace the transmission all together and keep the car. I love it!

I’ll get me a 2014-2016 model within the next 2yrs.

Best purchase I made - bought the IS350 when it first came out in ‘06! Added the F Sport package in ‘09 to get even more horsepower. Still having a blast driving it today and will not sell it anytime soon!

The IS250's were always my favorite looking sedans. A gorgeous vehicle that makes me wish the SUV fever would die away.

I love my RWD 2008 Lexus IS250. I recently purchased a 2015 Corolla as my daily driver, so the Lexus is not driven as my main car anymore. I love it so much I decided to keep it! Stylish and beautiful with only 135k miles on it. I probably only put like 7k miles a year or less on her now as the Corolla is the daily driver. For the carbon buildup issue, I do fuel induction cleanings every 50k miles to clean those intake valves. If it was really bad I would pay more and do walnut blasting.

Love these things. It's like a Camry and a 3 series had a baby that just WILL NOT DIE.

[KingMatt]

These are great for a first car and have a huge aftermarket compared to pretty much every other Lexus model. You can make it look much newer inside and out

I own a 2010 is 250, and I love my car.
I really enjoyed your review, and you taught me things I didn't even know about my car.
Thank you for doing the review!

I have a 2013 IS350 in Starfire Pearl with 192K she is running strong full maintenance always detail it love my Lexus 🇯🇵

[Anton.Semenov]

I got my is250 AWD in 2013 (car year is 2010) with 23k miles on it. As of today (11/21/23) it has only 84k miles. So far changed breaks, tires, oil change ONLY at dealer, transmission fluid flush. Car runs great, thought of selling it few years ago, but changed mind and this was my best decision EVER. Absolutely LOVE this car 👍🏼

[davefox]

Mine has all-wheel drive, and I drive it like that every single day. I have over 100, 000 mi on the car, I've had no issues whatsoever.

[crdevayya]

Really appreciate this video!! Need a cheap car fast for a new job, most important thing is reliable. For £4, 000 you get great options here in London and all the research (like this vid) has suggested, a great choice. Thank you for making Tim.

I have a 2007 Rear Wheel drive model. I was driving on the freeway and it totally misfired on me. Engine light went on, and it was struggling to speed up. Luckily, it was only worn out spark plugs and not that and the ignition coils. In fact, the last owner change the ignition coil so they were new, but he didn’t change out the spark plugs. This is the only scare I had with my 250. This is just a basic maintenance issue. In terms of overall reliability she’s been pretty good. Oh and I asked if my carbon buildup is bad at 138k miles. It’s there but it’s not bad at all. Nowhere near severely clogged up.
