Are those 20,000 miles worth an extra $2,000? This is from a dealer, so these prices reflect that. Im not going private party. Dont have the time.

The 08 appears to be in better condition cosmetically. But not so much that it would be a huge difference. What do you guys think?

Car 1:
2007 IS250
80,000 miles
$15,000

Car 2:
2008 IS250
60,000 miles
$17,000

My guest it depends on the finacial situation, if your budget is to be up to $17k then i would go with 17$k. If its over the 15$k budget, then i would stay with $15k, 20k differance is not major.

Although ive senn is350 at $15k and below me in TX

08 has more leg room in the back. But youre the driver so you wont have to worry about that lol. I personally would choose the 08 btw

Yeah, I hear you. I can swing either, would rather save 2000 bucks, but think it might be worth it to spend it on the better car. Ive been looking/researching for months and have not seen any 350's even close to that low near me. I dont have the time/ability to travel very far unfortunately.

Choose option 2 but make sure 60k mile major service has been completed.
This 60k mile service cost between $1000 to $1500.
Good Luck!!!
