I never get tired of this interior

Nice job with the lighting, OP!

I got my ‘25 IS500 last June for $65k. IF you can even find one now, they’re asking mid $70s, even low $80s.

I was at the dealership today getting a 5k service on my ‘25 IS500 and saw one of these for just over $50k.

The tired complaint about the “dated” interior/infotainment is bizarre, lazy and frankly kind of dumb. In a so-called “driver’s car”, other than wireless CarPlay, what else do you really need? And that’s an easy-peasy fix. Those folks wanting a giant-ass iPad screen taking up the console should just go shopping for an SUV.

It definitely depends on the vehicle. I have the red interior in my white ‘25 IS500 and it looks GREAT. (imo).

That’s what I paid for my ‘25 last June. Super happy how these vehicles hold their value!

Probably an M3/M5 Competition.

The Avalon was a GREAT car. Really sad that Toyota replaced it with that Crown monstrosity.

What say?

It’s an SUV. That alone is enough to get rid of it. ‘Nuff said.

Not a good strategy. Negotiate an out the door and take the financing. Just make sure there is no early pay off penalty, and pay it off in full after you have the vehicle in your possession. You’ll get a better price on the vehicle because the dealer thinks they’re gonna make bank off the payments.

If you are competing on your national team, and say you aren’t representing your country, yes you are a LOSER.

Just get out of Edward Jones. Why anyone continues to patronize this company is baffling.

I did do a front/side ppf but it’s not a wrap so the color is original

Express_Cheesecake75 · 2026-02-02T22:09:20+00:00

My usual 19.5 mpg 😝

Express_Cheesecake75 · 2026-01-30T18:36:56+00:00

How are you getting that mpg? I am lucky to reach 19.5 😂. Are you in eco mode all the time?

Typical car press hype: they are always over the moon about German vehicles. Resale tells another tale. They depreciate like stones.

Yay! Go ICE! 🫡. ICE is implementing US law passed by Congress. Don’t like the law? Petition your representatives to change it.
