Default Buying IS300 Good DEAL??

so im pretty new to the is300 world but done some research on them and have been looking for one for about a week now. well i see a pretty clean red is300 for sale, listed at $11,555 with only 47k on the cluster and its an 2003 only thing wrong with the car is that its a branded title. so im asking you pro's out there is a rebuilt/branded title car worth buying. and would like your guys opinion on this car as well

I see you are from WA.....is this ad on Craigslist Seattle? Post the link.....anyways, that price seems a bit too steep for rebuilt. What exactly has been done.....do you know?

How many owners?

I just bought a 02 Sportcross with 93k for $6000. Just need the timing belt and water pump done but I work at a Toyota dealer so it was a third of what the Lexus dealer costs.
