I wouldn't settle for what I didn't want if I was going to pay full price. You're getting a good deal I think. I have black and it is a ***** to keep clean and I am a perfectionist. I already painted the front/rear bumpers, rear quarter panels, trunk (molded Wald), and wet sanded the hood and fenders. I've only had the car for 7 months now. Good luck deciding. Tan is hard to keep clean too.

At a glance options on the car in the pics is 18" wheels, premium package (wood and upgraded seats) and navigation... and that's it. (no memory seats is the easy way to know it has neither the luxury nor sport packages)

18,500 isnt bad at all. Especially from a dealer. It's not amazing but I'd prob take it.

And that other guy is probably going to run it through manheim to see what they paid for it (assuming thats where they got it)

Forget Nada and KBB. They're a waste of time. Check galves, that's the industry standard that for some reason, the public NEVER uses.

scKcBc, at least refer to me by my name and not by "that other guy".....

if your not looking for black i wouldnt jump on it, black is a pain, trust me. i just sold my 07 with 54k with wheels and coils for 22500. and he actually paid more for my mods so only 20k for the car. so there are other deals out there. i would look for exactly what you want.

give the man you vin number. i looked up an is350 and the carfax was clean. but when i looked the same is350 up on the lexus website it showed it was in an accident. so carfax doesnt show everything.

ya I wouldn't settle. It took me a while to find my glacier frost mica and black interior but it was well worth the wait.

I think that is great deal man...From my experiences in buying cars, Texas has there cars priced higher than other states...I am from the Dallas area and I bought an IS350 with 40k miles on it for 25k, if I were willing to fly to other states I could have got one with alot less miles for the same price, or the same miles but more options for the same price. I just dont have the ***** to get one out of state, I fear something would be wrong with it and I wouldnt want to drive it back there for service. For some reason in Texas dealers really like there cars lol. That is a great deal for that car and I would jump all over it...

Exactly where did you look up this information on the lexus website that shows the accident? I'm interested in checking one out too. Thanks.

Awesome, thank you.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but maybe you guys can help me figure out what my car is worth?

-2007 IS 350 Black with 14,500 miles
-Navigation package - incl bluetooth, backup camera etc
-Premium package - includes wood trim, perforated leather, cooled seats, HIDs etc.
- X-Package - includes Rear Spoiler, front spoiler, X-package 18 inch wheels etc
- No Mark levinson
- Minor mods - blacked out headlight housing, 2 stage nav hack, VAIS SL2VI installed for ipod audio/video integration

KBB says $28,500 not accounting for the mods, but I doubt they're worth a lot of extra money.

Thanks!

The general rule is like 2 to3K below KBB is consider a good deal

I'm not looking to buy, this is my car. Just wondering what I should expect to get for it if I were to sell it today. Any reason why I should expect to get 2-3k less than KBB? Is KBB usually off by that much? Just trying to educate myself on the selling process and what to expect.

Thanks!

Just two minor notes-

HIDs are not part of the premium package
Rear spoiler is not part of the X package

Both are available as stand-alone options on an 07 so your car might well have em that way, but not as part of either package you list them under.

xerxes717

Good to know, thank you!! Yes I do have both and now that I think about it, I think I remember them both being extra options outside of the packages. Thanks again
