Default Advice, looking to buy 2011 is250

Hi all - I'm looking into trading my wife's Nissan Quest for 2011 Glacier Frost Mica. What I want to know, it says it comes with LED daytime running lights and hids but when you look at the pictures/or see it in person I do not see the LED daytime lights and I'm pretty sure those are not HIDs. With that said, I'm assuming the previous owner switched up his headlights with someone or this is not the Luxury package. Any advice on what you think about this car and maybe a miss print on some of the options listed but not showing up on the car? Also how's the pricing on this car? Thanks!

I have a 2011 IS250 also in Glacier Frost Mica. I have the DRL's and projector HID's BUT I also have the navigation package. I think DRL's and HID projector lights come with the NAV package and I also have the 18" Star style wheels. MY car pictured below. I do not have AWD though.

I have the IS250 F-Sport package but mine is a 2011 and it does come with HID and LED running lights (Nike style)...I would suggest looking around...even trying a reputable used car place...if not a certified used Lexus...I would go with a place like CAR MAX, where at least you have many options to choose from and models.

Well what i'm wondering, does all 2011 and up come with the LED daytime running lights even if not HID? I'm been searching and everything seems to point in the direction that LED daytime running lights come on this year and up but no real saying they don't either. I really just need to know if 2011 headlights did not come with daytime running lights and then move on from there. Thanks!

The car in your link does not have HID/LED DRL. Not all 2011+ IS250 come with the LED DRL, but all IS350 do. There are 2 sure ways to tell if a car has it, just by looking; 1. The headlight is black, not chrome and 2. The lens that surrounds the low beam projector is thicker on the HID than it is on the non-HID. I would suggest looking elsewhere because that dealer either doesn't know their product or they're trying pull a fast one on you.

Also, the price is quite high. Maybe MN is an expensive state but here in central FL with that kinda miles you're looking at less than 30k. Hell, here's an IS F-sport with 18k miles for less than yours lol. http://www.lexusoforlando.com/2011-L...FL/vd/15075768

Good Luck with your search
