Is this IS250 worth the trip?
Few days ago I lost my second car a 2010 Honda Accord V6 EXL and was looking at another Accord, IS250 and G35. The Accord I wanted got sold pretty quickly leaving me to look around again and I came across this IS250 that was about 1.5 hours away from me.
Waiting for them to email me a carfax.
Price is $14,995
Year: 2008 AWD
Mileage: ~66,xxx Miles
Can't find any other deals around my price range. Only other options left are 2013 Accord Sport CVT, and a 2009 Acura TSX.

Yeah it looks like a good car at a good price. Make sure it had its recalls done, that it doesn't make any noise on start up, and that the water pump is in good condition and not leaking or making noises.

I have a 2008 IS250 AWD with about the same miles and love it. I live in WI, the snow belt, and it is a blast to drive in the snow, especially when you turn all the nannies off!!! Looks like a decent deal, and as always just make sure everything is done, and you will be the happiest person in MI!!!

Sad thing is I can't find any IS350 or good IS250 that is AWD.
I have this http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/5040169767.html but its a rebuilt, the seller stated the carpets got wet from a flood.

No, because it's a IS250. I'd take a TSX over an is250 and an accord over that old of an IS.
And pass on any salvage vehicle, especially flood vehicles. It would not be surprising if it was a flood vehicle from NY. There

Doesn't look bad at all. If you haven't considered it, you can do a nationwide Autotrader or Ebay Motors search for an IS350.
Regardless, make sure to have a qualified mechanic inspect it prior to purchase. Autocheck came out clean on it, though.
