Hello all! I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right section as I am new here and am unfamiliar with the forum.

I was recently browsing some of the used car dealer sites here in Houston and stumbled upon a 2007 black sapphire pearl Lexus IS350 with roughly 76k miles on it. The lot is asking $14.9k for it. It's got the heated/cooled seats, non touch screen non Mark Levinson audio system, sunroof, and a couple of other options that don't really mean much to me.

I'm buying this car Saturday pretty much sight unseen. Is there anything in particar that I should be looking for? I've done plenty of research the past few days, but was wanting y'alls input on some things. Am I overpaying @ $14.9k, and if so, what would one generally pay from a dealer for this car if it is in excellent condition?

Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to read this and respond appropriately.

Plug in all your options on kelly blue book and see what the value is. That seems about right though. My 07 IS250 with 75k, NAV, and in excellent condition is valued at around $15k-$16k. Check the maintenance records on it if you can. Only really big thing that should be done around that millage is spark plugs. Is it CPO?

I have done a free car fax on this vehicle, and it is squeaky clean. All maintenance has been performed at certified Lexus dealerships it's entire life and oil has been changed when it should be. As far as being CPO, sadly it is not. I'm buying it from a very reputable used car lot in the Houston area. I need to re-read the Carfax to see if the spark plugs have been changed by a certified Lexus technician at a Lexus dealership.

This week is going by so slow, as I am very excited for purchase day (Saturday), as this will be my first luxury car that I have ever purchased.

I had been looking for an IS300 when I stumbled upon this car, and fell in love with it.
