Default 06 IS350 with 122k miles for $12k yes or no?

Ran into a local mom / pop dealer that has the car on subject for $12,800 got him down to $12k.

1 owner 2nd owner is the dealer
122,500k miles
Navi with camera
Heated /cool seats
Extensive service record done by my local Lexus dealer
No accidents
Never painted
Rear window curtain
Illuminated sills
Heated and reverse tilt mirrors
Rain sensing wipers
AFS moving head lights
One minor scratch on top of the trunk (dealer will fix) and a small rash on corner front bumper
Needs tires, 1 rim has a rash
Interior is like new, so is the spare tire and everything inside the trunk never been touched.
No leakes, runs like a beast, cold air!
A good detail job and it would look like new
Red Matador Mica
Parking sensors
Telescopic Steering
Memory seats
HID
Bluetooth
Dont know what package it has ???

I was initialy looking for a Starfire Pearl or GFM with low miles but they are tuff to find within 300 miles radius and nothing under 25k ! 3rd choice of color was red and at this price I can mod this one and still have enough to bank.

Opinions about the high miles is what I am looking for here....I had my share of Yota's so I know 122k is baby but on this car I dont know???

Looking to pick up this car this Saturday!

Without knowing much more about the car, I'd say yes!

Whoa that's pretty cheap. I'm surprised that price is attainable. I was looking for some IS350s for a friend earlier this year and that is a pretty good deal. With that extensive record of maintenance, I would definitely be comfortable buying.

You always find the great deals

If it has rear window shades, it has the Luxury package, which includes HID lights I think. Luxury pack also includes, wood trim, aired/heated leather seats, illuminated door sills, heated and reverse tilt mirrors, rain sensing wipers, and AFS moving head lights. I can see from the pic it also has headlight washers.

Pretty cheap for an almost fully loaded car. Make sure it wasn't in an accident, autocheck + carfax + Lexus Dealership inspection.

if everything checks out thats not a bad deal.

Since it has such a higher mileage for just a 5 year old car, then it has to be mostly highway mileage. Highway mileage is the best type, very little stress on the engine

It does have illuminated sills, wood trim and air seats so I can safely say it does has Luxury package. Autocheck and Carfax both came in clean as a whistle. Autocheck score is 91 !

If it has AFS, it has HID's. Car looks very clean. If it drives well and doesnt leak anything or make funny noises. Go for it!

Give it a test drive and run it by your mechanic. I just recently got a used Lexus and my mechanic found some stuff wrong with it (Not all tires match, worn brakes etc.) If it drives nice I'd say go with it, that's an amazing deal!
