My 2008 IS 250 RWD was afflicted by the feedback problem when my MP3 player was plugged into the aux jack and simultaneously plugged into the power outlet next to it or to the cigarette lighter. Also happened if any other accessory, i.e., cell phone was plugged in for charging. There is a TSB for this problem. The car was in for 5000 maintenance and I mentioned this to the service tech who said he had not heard of this issue before. I doubt that. Anyway, they fixed the problem, n/c of course. They also did the brake pad TSB. Anyone else have this feedback issue?

Replying to: 12601 (Dec 20, 2008 5:08 am)  Also, the following issues were fixed N/C on my car for other TSBs: (1) Front brake pads and (2) Rear view mirror replaced due to excessive vibration while traveling (varying speeds).

| I had the same problem with my '08 250. I brought in the TSB to the dealer who indicated they were not aware of the problem. They kept the car overnight and fixed it. Gave me an ES 350 Loaner- nice car but felt HUGE and did not handle as well. Figure I will wear out the brakes more before I have them replaced under the TSB. | |

Hello all, My sister is torn between buy either a 2006 Lexus IS 250, a honda civic or a toyota corolla. She had her mind set on buying the IS 250, however a couple people discouraged her from doing so. They argued that the vehicle was high maintenance and costs a lot for gas, insurance etc. My sister is currently 18, almost 19. She is in college so she does not work much. A mere 20 hours a week, which will give her 8500 dollars annually. Paying about $200 a month for insurance and about $390 a month for the vehicle leaves her $200 in excess monthly or $2400 annually. Would you recommend purchasing the IS 250 according to her current situation?

Thanks for the help.. However, the financing allows her to pay only $390 a month for the vehicle and $200 for insurance. She makes $720 a month, and she has no other expenses except gas. Is it still a bad idea?
