    Scotty tells the truth and simply speaks his mind for which you are free to like him or hate him. I recently returned from a 9 day trip to Dubai. 99.9 percent of the taxis and Uber cars in dubai are camrys and mid sized Lexuses. The I ones I utilised had mileage between 500,000-700,000 km. To me, they all seemed to be running perfectly fine which I found to be pretty amazing. I have no idea how these things can last so long in stop and go traffic that is Dubai. I guess Toyota and Lexus have some seriously talented engineers who take their work extremely seriously.

    Scotty is right!
    I bought a mint IS 250 from CarMax. This is a dream car for me. A sporty Lexus. It's not a powerful engine, but it's plenty fast. If you wind it up it'll go fast. My main reasons for buying this car is that I loved its looks, I love the comfort and luxury, and it's extremely reliable. The paint on my car looks brand new (it's a metallic midnight blue, but it's so dark it looks black) and surprisingly enough the windshield doesn't have one single chip in it.
    You can also take these cars to a Toyota dealership and they can work on it far cheaper than a Lexus dealer. This gets nearly 30 miles to the gallon. I'm in love with this car!

    Got an 08 is250 awd with over 160k miles with no issues at all...bought a 16 is300 awd fsport last year and both cars is just fun to drive.. I expect both cars to last well over 250k miles with no major issues...the only major issue I had was to replace the radiator on the 08 couple of years ago. No rattling, still a smooth ride, car looks like its only a few years old even though it's a 12 year old car.:)

    I’ve got a ‘13 IS250 and bought it used. At nearly 140k miles it still drives solid without any breakdowns nor rattles and leaks.
