Hi Guys,

Getting a quick survey/poll of whether or not this is a good buy:

2007 IS350, 84,000 miles, Luxury Package, HID/AFS, Intuitive Parking Sensors, Headlight Washers, Dealer installed Spoiler and 18" (they look nothing like what I have seen on another IS, very close to a GS350 wheels I once saw), and of course Nav and Bluetooth, as well as the Sharkfin.

Color is Silver with gray leather.

The seller is stuck on 16,600, I am trying to get him to close at 16,000. Does seem to have a Clean Carfax, but I haven't gotten it yet, and also trying to access the records at drivers.lexus.com, site's giving me issues.


Need your prompt input, appreciate the help, thank you.

Private party or dealer sale? If private party, it seems a touch high to me from what I can gather using internet price tools.

Thats actually not a bad price considering all the stuff it has. I know here in capital city california, used clean title is350's goes quick.

Good price in California, these are quick sale.

Also, my local CA dealer offered for my IS350 more than the price I have bought from IL, seriously. These IS350 is quick sale because they are more rare.

So it seems that the sale fell through, the guy is not budging from 16,600, I wanted to make a deal at 16 even.

What are your thoughts for the PA, NY, MD area guys?

I say deal just make sure sparkplug were done and check the record and you are good to go. The price is going to a quick sale

Guys, thanks your inputs on this thread, another deal has surfaced:

2006, 64K miles, all loaded without the spoiler though. Blue exterior, light tan interior. Roughly 17K at the dealer without the taxes included. The private seller dealer was also without taxes of course.

So now the question is, do you go for the lower miles or a year younger car?

So complicated, these decisions! Thank God you guys are there to help :-D!

Fragger, that first deal would have been good at $16k. Where are you buying from? Im in MD trying to land a some what decent one for under $15,000.

Fragger

Hey ninten5, thanks for the response bud.

Yeah I'm trying to actually buy in the Philadelphia or NY area... But nothing really is available, especially in a decent deal fashion.

Either the cars end up being just over 100K miles for close to 15K dollars asking, or about 17K asking for 06 and miles in the 80 thousand miles or so...

Let me know if you find a gem? What's your experience been like?

ninten5

Its been a mix, I've seen some (10-12k) with ridiculous miles like 130k.

$15k or up brings the mileage to ~70-80k miles.

I want the ideal with ~100k miles for $13k cuz I barely drive long distances so I wouldn't add much mileage over the years.

Fragger

I hear ya man... It's like I want it, but don't need it, and nothing is really jumping at me as a too good to pass a deal.

Plus the more I'm hovering on these forums I'm getting more and more picky about the options and packages LOL!

I think a decent 350, even an 06 does run about 15 or up :-(...

Was hoping for a 10 to 13 range...

Good luck bud!

Hope others chime in on whether or not the ones I'm looking at are a deal or not... :-)

Thanks guys!
