Default How much should I sell my 07 IS250 for?

Can someone help me I am selling the car privately, I have used Edmunds, KBB, craigslist and autotrader to get an idea of price, but still a little confused..

Here is my car specs

2007 IS250 Starfire Pearl Automatic
22,700 miles
Warranty until 5/2013 or 70,000 miles


Factory options:
-18" wheels
-HID with AFS
-Premium Package : heated and ventilated seats, birdseye maple wood trim, perforated leather seats
-Preferred accessories package: trunk mat, cargo net, wheel locks, rear bumper applique.
-OEM rear spoiler lip

aftermarket but all professionally installed:
-illuminated door sills
-V-kool commerical heat rejection tint $500 tint job
-3M clear bra
-JDM style side mirror turn signals
-FlyAudio nav / dvd / backup camera / bluetooth
-powdercoated wheels

I do not expect to recoup the extras but hopefully make it easy to sell, I like the nav system alot since you can use the GPS while driving

Car is in very excellent condition and in California.
I have seen edmunds says as low as $22k and see dealers ads for $29,998 with more miles than mine. So there is a huge range there.

Trade in, about 21-22k
Private sale, i'd put it up for about $25k since you got the warranty on it too!

The low miles is helping your car value alot! You actually have the same exact car as me as far as how it came OEM. Mine is a 2007 with the premium package and the same add-ons. Because of my mileage though (71k) mine's only worth 17k trade in!

The 2007's had maple wood? I thought it was the red wood. What color is your interior?
The mods could hurt your sale. The average IS buyer does not want a modified car and it can appear to be a red flag. On the other hand, with the low low mileage and warranty, you should be able to pull someone in who has to have it. Be patient and don't rush.

You have power train warranty left. Your basic warranty is over. Don't confuse yourself or the buyer when selling. $25k sound reasonable considing the low mileage.

Birds eye maple is a kind of wood, not a color. In it's natural state, maple is light colored. In the maple veneer used in the 2IS, it was stained a reddish-brown in the earlier model year cars, and either dark grey or a shade of brown that Lexus calls "espresso" in the more recent ones.

I'm glad I saw this post because I was curious of what kind of deal I got on my IS 350 I just got about 3 weeks ago. I knew it was pretty good from the prices I saw elsewhere and I looked for a long time. Pretty much the same factory options listed here but mine had 70,200 miles. I got my 2007 IS 350 for $19,700 but with such low mileage on yours, I bet you can get a good amount for it.

Good luck =)
