2007 Lexus IS 250 consumer reviews

Hi, i own a Is250 for almost 6 months now and after having this car for a period of almost 6 months i feel like i owe this review to this particular piece of art, i bought this car used as my first car and i had few other options that i was particularly interested in such as the 09 Accord and a 05 Gs350, while buying the car i wanted something quick, comfortable, good on gas and Ofcourse reliable and i vouch that this car has checked all the boxes i bought the car with over 400k KM driven i’ve driven this car allot even driving more than 600-700KM in a day, the last owner didn’t do a good care of the exterior and interior but he indeed took a decent care of the mechanical side of the car so far after driving more than 40k KM in just 6 months the only thing i spend was on a battery and a oil change thats all! Been super reliable girls like it and its a quick car truly a amazing vehicle to own 100% recommended

Been going to Lexus of Pleasanton in CA since 2001 with different vehicles. Just had service done today and had a great experience with Forrest Yee service advisor. He was very communicative, prompt response and delivered Lexus quality service. Forrest reminded me why I keep buying a Lexus, excellent customer service.

I bought mine used a few months ago with it having 196k miles and some moderate exterior and interior damage for under 5k. I am using it as a project car build because it looks great and is really reliable. The gas prices might be a struggle though as it requires 93 premium making it a bit pricey to fill up. The previous owner of my car was not the best at keeping it in good shape and never logged any modifications or replacements so who knows what's happened to it. As of now the only main issues with my specific car has to do with the front axle and my brakes. My axle is making a vibration due to the previous owners lack of care for the vehicle as both the cv boots on the front are busted which has caused a slow leak which has just ruined my axle. Then the brakes are just old and need to be replaced. I also recommend not letting the car sit for too long without driving as my specific car and a few others I've heard from have a battery draining issue but if you drive the car regularly there should be no issue. Parts are very easy to acquire for this car and the manufacturing process was clearly done with care. If you can find one in good condition I suggest buying it.

I love my 2007 is250 I bought is used with 184,000 Miles originally from Florida made in Japan....the previous owners did NOT maintain this car at all...It had a significant valve cover gasket leak i immediately fixed the gasket spark plugs and changed the oil and when I drained it the oil almost oozed out of the pan ....no metal shavings ...changed the oil ran it for 500 miles changed it again ran it 1,200 miles changed it again and a last change after another 2,200 miles TOP TEIR FUEL ONLY 93 octane..did the overall “Tune up “ coolant flush Diff fluid brake fluid tires etc ...only complaint I have about it after 14 year old beat up not maintenanced 250 is rotten egg smell gas smell radio is messed up and the timing gasket leaks and the transmission slips every now and again....overall tho 8 out 10 all that said I would recommend a well maintained one for sure !

Dont buy one. Beautiful car but unless you have very low mileage and 100% maintenance record, you will have a costly vehicle. Steering failure at any time is a major scary event. All sorts of expensive possible fixes and attempts by dealers and others often require a return visit if the fix ever works. Lexus has never offered a cause or lasting fix. Although the transmission can last a long time, service is absolutely necessary to prevent very costly replacement. Records, notes, and service proof might save you that headache. Headlight turning system, sunroof seal, and sensors by 2021 are all suspect and have or will fail soon. I hated to have to let it go.

The car was a salvage with very low mileage and in very good shape. Being a salvage, it was very affordable for a Lexus. It has been very reliable for the 2 years I have owned it. The AWD is a great feature in the harsh winter conditions. I am considering Lexus due to the comfort, reliability and service that Lexus provides. I am surprised there are no Lexus dealers in VT.

This car has never let me down! It’s gets me where I need to go, has a sun roof, and it looks good on the road. I’m sad to see it go, but it’s time for an upgrade. I’ve never had any issues with this car and still haven’t!

Reliable and beautiful, but performance and gas milage could be better. 140000mi still running with only fueds, battery, brakes and generator change. Easy to recomend.

This car like most on the lot was in show room condition inside and out, fully serviced, new brakes, rotors, allignment, detailed. I love it and get compliments everywhere I go. Thanks Ray IIi and Car Town USA.

nice car to have, comfy and has taste of driving sports car in same time. great sounds system originally from lexus, cold a/c. reliable and cheap on gas.
