Hi all,

I'm considering purchasing the IS-F at http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/Lexus/IS...howcpo=ShowCPO

Are there any upcoming maintenance issues I should be mindful of that CPO won't cover?

What's a good price? Based on my research I estimate they have about $10k of profit in the amount they're asking for and I should be looking at around $40k CDN or so before taxes. Am I right?

Any other advice would be appreciated. Especially from somebody in the GTA who would have more experience with the Ontario market.

Thanks again.

Take the VIN and go to http://owners.lexus.com and put it in to see the dealer service history. I was in Montreal this past weekend and noticed the currency conversion rate is almost 1:1 so $47k would be a way too much. 82,000km ~ 50,000 mi... you should offer mid $30k if svc history looks clean.

Thanks for the info. I just got an e-mail from the dealer. Apparently, it's been sold. I hope they didn't pay too much, otherwise it's only going to encourage inflated prices in this area! I guess I got to keep looking.

I took a look at the website you gave. It needs you to sign up. Does it then let you add any VIN? Even if it's not from the US (i.e. Canada)?

Give it a try, I'm sure it shouldn't matter. You can sign up for free, this is what I did before purchasing mine. It's like a free carfax.
