I am looking for an is300 turbo and i came across this one on cars dot com, i was wondering if you guys think this is a good deal or a little overpriced? Thanks for all your input

IMO that's too much... That car could be duplicated for much less... Its only 342 whp... That is pretty weak for that kind of cash... I know a guy selling an ASP (orange) one with 6 speed, makes 570 whp, could probably.pick it up for 22k...

That wayyyy too much for that black IS, here in NY an IS with a NA-T goes for about 10k max.

yeah that's what i was thinking, $10K to $12K would be reasonable but $16K is way too high

I remember seeing it on craigslist.either he traded it in or sold it. But he was asking too much too ,think it was 12,900.

oh ok, i just think the dealer is charging too much for the both the is300 they have and $16K is ridiculous for that turbo one. Thanks for the info
