Hey everyone I am currently in Georgia and I will be until July 2nd. I was looking at buying another IS250 but this as an older one im going to put Vossen CV5's(graphite), new exhaust, and a few things. Tell me after looking at this listing should I buy it please and thanks!

I've seen IS350s for $1,000 more with the same, or less, miles and not in that disgusting shape. That thing is absolutely atrocious. The pure disregard for the vehicle tells me that the car was not taken care of and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, let alone waste the gas to see it.

if it wasnt plasti-dipped like that I would say its a good deal. because it is, I would instantly take about a grand or 2 off the asking price to say its a good deal....

Last plastidipped i came across, my friend bought. Peeled it off and the doors were two separate colors than the original color

Wait for an IS350. You won't regret it.

I wouldn't touch an IS250. Too many problems and no power. The IS350 is a much better car.

Wait for an IS350 if you can! I don't mind the IS250, but the IS350 is definitely the overall better car.
