6500 sounds like a pretty good deal to me... 150k is quite a bit, but if it has been well maintained you should be able to get a lot more out of it. I would push for 5500. Just the fact that its a stick means it wont be on the market long because they are so hard to find. Personally I would jump all over that deal! GL

$6500 is a good price for that car. i would buy it at that price but if you wanna get a better deal dont offer $5500 that seems a little insulting. i would say $6000 is pushing the limit. if it were me i would offer $6200 and go from there

Guys that is true but seriously $300.... In my dealings I have learned start low let them work it to a compromise. Yes it is a lexus but its not a lambo. Let me just put it this way bought my IS 2 months ago. The guy was asking 9500 so I offered 8500, he said no and I went on my way called him two days later and he said he could do 8800... felt pretty good about saving myself 700 dollars especially from a dealer. Ok done with my rant lol GL hope you get a good deal

Does it have a LSD rear? That would sweeten the deal.

Did you run a carfax/autocheck on it? Does it have maintenance records? If yes and yes, I'd be all over that deal.

Or you can buy my impeccable Sport Design - Needs nothing. Reason for selling: I need a bigger vehicle for work.
