New to CL...looking to switch over from my bimmer to a lexus. What's the reliability of a lexus? I found a 2006 Lexus IS 350 fully loaded with 94,000 miles for approximately $15,000. Would that mileage be considered high?

The average mileage/year is 15k. For a 7 year old car... technically, no. However, the car is beyond the factory or extended warranty and parts on Lexus vehicles aren't cheap. If the maintenance history is up to date, then I would be fairly comfortable with the purchase. These are overall pretty reliable cars.

94K, not high mileage to me. lexus is more reliable than bmw.

That's a good price and the mileage is not too high, I think there's a member on here with 250k+ miles on his IS.

Way more reliable than a BMW. I've been very impressed with mine.

58,000 miles on my '06 IS 350. Not one problem with the car. No rattles, no leaks, no electrical glitches. Just a good, solid, dependable automobile. Only at the dealers for the recalls. I fully expect when it hits 94,000 miles it will still get the same report!

Thanks everyone for the input...i'll definately be purchasing a lexus within the next couple of months...just waiting for the right deal! Being built by Toyota, i'm sure Lexus is way more reliable than my beamer.

If all the services were taken care of, that car should last for a long time still.

That IS will be much more reliable than your bmw. Sounds like a good deal

I just purchased mine '06 IS350 at 110k miles... I'm at 113k now and no problems. These are very good cars, but I got even a better deal, I just couldn't resist!
