Default Looking for a IS250 and need some advice please!

Hello! I have been a VW guy for a while(Coming from Vwvortex) and after my passat got stolen I am in the market for something else!



I have always been a fan of Lexus and the IS250 seemed like a good car for the money. I have about 15K to spend and I was just wondering what should I look for when buying a IS250 and what I should stay away from (Certain year, engine type, ect.) Also, do you guys think 15k will be enough for a decent Lexus is250? What year and mileage can I expect to get for that amount of money? I just want to thank all of you guys ahead of time!! All comments will be appreciated and I cant wait to be an active member in this Forum!!

Welcome, I have seen 06-09 in that price range according to mileage and condition. I have a 2010 IS250 but wish i had looked and drove the IS350, so look and drive both and see what you think and the 350's don't have the carbon build up issue like the 250's.
