I am listing my mom's car for sale:
2008 Lexus IS 250
2.5 L V6
6 speed automatic
All Wheel Drive
Current mileage: 88,413 ( will go up as this vehicle is still in use )
Meticulously maintained, adult woman owned and driven since 2010 ( Roughly 21,600 miles at time of purchase ). Garage kept since the time of purchase
From new an average of 5,666 miles / year but only 4,932/ year with the current owner.
The car runs strong and drives straight. It handles the roads around town and the expressway with ease. Transmission shifts are firm and crisp.
There are no clunks, rattles or squeaks.
Black Leather interior, power seats, heated and cooled seats, power moonroof. 6 disk in dash CD Changer. Front weathertech liners are included.
The A/C blows cold. All accessories, switches and buttons operate as designed.
2 key fobs.
The paint is glossy with no signs of oxidation. Vehicle has been garage kept. Professionally detailed and ceramic coated with CarPro CQuartz UK3.0. Applied in Fall of 2021 and maintained 2x a year with CarPro Reload.
Keep in mind, I have been maintaining the paint on this vehicle since she bought it. I will give it a once over if someone is interested in buying it.
Interior is in excellent shape, minimal wear on driver’s seat. Front passenger and rear seats are like new.
Carpeting is in like new condition.
Oil has been changed with full synthetic and WIX brand cartridge filters 2x a year. This comes to about 2500-3000 miles per interval.
Most recent dealer service: OEM spark plugs, right front caliper replaced, front brake pads and rotors replaced. Right rear caliper replaced. 05/02/23 @ 84,257 miles.
Other notable services:
Air filter and Cabin filter 05/02/22 @ 79,938mi
New Battery 9/19/20 @ 74,003mi
Catback exhaust replacement 06/27/20 @ 72,975mi
Rear brake pads and rotors 06/27/20 @72,975mi
Front differential fluid change 05/05/17 @ 57,848mi. *Dealer
Serpentine belt replaced 05/05/17 @ 57,848mi *Dealer
Rear differential fluid change 04/30/17 @ 57,767 *Home
Toyo Versado Noir tires mounted and balanced 09/14/16 @ 54,825 mi. These have been rotated every 6k miles by Cassidy tire.
Waterpump + coolant exchange 05/15/15 @47,946mi. *Dealer
Cons:
CarFax shows an accident from May 2023. The vehicle was parked, a pick up truck with a hitch backed into the front bumper, causing a chip in the bottom corner of the driver headlamp assembly. The vehicle was repaired at a Lexus certified body shop in Schaumburg. The driver headlamp was part of the claim. The owner purchased the passenger side to match.
The wheels are in rough shape. The OE silver finish is bubbling/flaking off. These would need to be repaired/powdercoated or replaced. OR perfect for a winter tire setup.
The rear bumper has a series of scratches from a large flower pot.
All in all, this is a fantastic example of a 16 year old luxury vehicle.
Asking $10,500 OBO
