Is a 2009 IS worth it?
Hi guys, I currently have a BMW 530i that's having a lot of problems. There's a nice IS250 2009 at my local jeep dealer. It's got 114k miles and is around $9,000. So my question to you guys is, do you think it's worth it to buy that car with 114k miles, or am I facing a mountain of service and repair costs? Also it has navigation and a backup camera.
Thanks
Thanks

IS350. My friend. Wont regret it. 250s are typically ok but there are more bad apples amongst them.

It would have been laughable 20 years ago to even consider discussing problems with a Toyota/Lexus that only had 100k on it.

We've all seen this happening especially in the last 8-10 years. I think it's exponentially changing for the worse.

It's funny, my friend with a 530i has many issues as you. The car is overheating now and can't drive past 5 miles. Before that, the sunroof was leaking. Before that, many many other issues.
The is250 compared to the bimmer will be much more reliable. But yeah I'd look at a is350 as the 250 has engine sludge problems.
