Default Buying an IS250 Soon!

I'm in the works about buying a 2007 IS250 AWD. The car is black and options that it has is: Nav, Bluetooth, Xeon HID, Headlights that swivel, Rain Sensing Wipers, Wood Trim, Black interior, back up camera, driver + passenger seat memory. All this for $24,500. Is this a good deal everyone? Besides some rock chips on the hood and some fine scratches that will probably come out when buffed it is in great condition. Mileage are 35,000. I hope to be signing papers Monday so I'm hoping to get quick responses. Also Clean CarFax and Autocheck.

Rain sensing wipers..didn't even know they offered that on the IS..I think you should hold off on the deal.

From the research I have done that is a good deal. AWD and all the options like Nav. and xenons! Buy it! As far as the miles are concerned, its a Toyota. You got a good 250,000 left on it!

I bought it! So excited and love driving it. Can't help killing 2 tanks of gas already within a week. LOL hopefully i'll tone it down to keep the mileage down. My car is black and was wondering if there are any good product to get scratches out? and a wax that will keep dust away because it accumulates dust like crazy! I'll post up pics soon when I get my rims and tints on.

I suggest you buy the professional line stuff like from meguiar's http://www.autodetailingsolutions.ne...laze-line.html... consumer line stuff doesn't seem to work as well or as fast. You should try M80 or m105 depending on how bad it is... plus you might need some later once the swirls start appearing everywhere... which they will sooner or later.

a garage will keep some of the dust off! JK good luck on keeping the dust off I have a black sapphire and it gets dusty as soon as you was it.

I use Zaino products. the more coats you put on the clear it gets. and it smeels good too!!!
