Not bad, that's really low mileage. I got mine for a pretty low price but it had been unsold for about 2-3 months and the dealer was eager to move it, and it had 81k miles on it.

Good lol. I felt okay with it. Talked them down $1500, and it booked out around $39 with that milage. It's been a dream car of mine since 07 though, they're rare around here, plus it was grey! I had to have it.
I work at the Toyota engine plant in Alabama. We had a manager with an 08 he leased new, totally ragged it out and drove it HARD all these years, nearly 100k miles I think.. anyway it sold to an employee here through fleet sale for around $33. So I gladly paid a few grand more for one that was like new.

There certainly are deals to be had.. just have to be patient!
A friend of mine told me about that AD (if it was in Toronto). Sometimes, people with extended warranty want to unload the car after they hit the milage limit of the extended warranty. Not saying it makes sense, but different owners have different psychology. I think the isf is a reliable car mechanically. The 60+ micro computers are more of a concern for me (unless the toyota mechanic was trying to scare me...hahhaha)

Resale values are starting to level off, and perhaps go up a bit, I've been checking cars.com.

I think there are certainly more deals to be had in areas that get snow, as most ISFs are put away for the winter and people would rather sell than pay for storage. (Why I think I got such a deal)

Damn that's a pretty good price for a car like this. Congrats! Makes me wish I would've waited a year to get my car.

Yes clean title. I got a great deal, below wholesale actually.

Pays to be persistent. If you don't count the extra set of wheels I paid closer to 25k

Damn, that is an insane deal especially with a clean title and extra set of wheels! I paid $32.5 for my 2008 back in 2011, which was an insane deal then, but it did have 1 accident on the title. It was repaired at the Lexus dealership and everything was done perfectly, and I plan to keep this car forever so I didn't really care how it might affect resale value down the road. Oh, and it also came with a set of newly installed $12,000 Forgiato Maglia-M carbon fiber wheels, so I really paid more like $20K for the car. LOL.
