After almost a year of patiently searching, I bought my obtainable dream car.

For the past 10 months or so, I started looking for a replacement for my Civic Si. The Civic has treated me well, but it's getting up there in age and I wanted to treat myself to something nicer. I love the idea of a sports sedan, and I had my eye on just one car. So the good thing is that I knew exactly what I wanted, but the bad thing is that what I wanted was extremely hard to find, as there wasn't many examples made. Mind you, I was shopping used and not new. So I had to be patient in my search. On Monday, that search came to an end. I'm now the proud owner of a 2022 Lexus IS350 F-Sport. It's fully loaded, so it has the Dynamic Handling Package (forged BBS wheels/Torsen LSD/adaptive variable suspension/ash grain wood interior), Triple Beam Headlights, and Mark Levinson stereo. The caveat to me getting this car was that it had to fall within my budget. And because of this, the car has high mileage for the year (77k miles). But with a proven and reliable drivetrain, that didn't dissuade me from pulling the trigger. It's not perfect, as it has a little bit of curb rash on the wheels, and some small dings and scuffs on the paint. But it's relatively minor stuff that I can take care of at an auto body shop when the time is right. The interior was immaculate, which is really nice. Anyways, I'll include some exterior pictures I took the day I bought it and some magic hour evening shots. I didn't take any interior pictures, but it looks like this. Thanks for reading! And sorry for the small picture size (Flickr doesn't allow me to use the original photo size with a free account). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 submitted by /u/DodgerBlueRobert1 [link] [comments]
