Hey,

So there is a 2005 stock is300 with only 18000 original miles for sale in my area. How much would you pay for it assuming interior and exterior are near perfect?

Color, options, too many unknown variables?. I can give you a "number" but without much info, the number will be Low one. (If you provide pics) I can give you a more accurate Price.

Thanks for the reply

Its silver with standard options:

Options Installed
CD Player
Cruise Control
Heated Seats
Leather Seats
Power Mirrors
Rear Window Defroster
Side Airbags
Tilt/Telescope Steering Wheel

KBB lists it at 16.7k, buyer is asking more

Is it a manual or automatic? 17" wheels? Full-Leather seats or Alcantara? Limited Slip? Rear Spoiler? Nav?

johnnydeep

Its an automatic, full leather seats and spoiler. No navigation and the wheels look standard.

Thanks again

Does it have the limited-slip diff and VSC? Both of those things can pretty greatly affect the price of an IS300. Why such low miles?

Based on what I know.. NADA, which is more accurate evaluator because its What Banks will loan up to.) Nada says $17K Max, but Current "True" market value is $13K. Usually if a dealer have this car they would Price it around $15,999. KBB is often too high and not realistic, sometimes they do get it right but often KBB is way too high. I say $15,000 is a very fair price and up to $15,500 would be my MAX offer if the car is just perfect and no accidents, one owner. Personally, I would not buy it $1 over $15.5K. I'm already bumping the car $2500 over market value because, I understand the value of Mint condition cars. If you absolutely got to have it you can pay up to $17K, but i wouldn't do it.. If the Seller is Pricing over $17K, he's smokin Crack..

Again, $15K Very Fair Price. Absolute max is $15.5K.

$17K is unrealistic, but "can be doable" but not wise. If car is perfect and you really got to have it, $17K is ok but not a great buy.. Anything above $17K is way too much. Car is 9 years old. Car Brand-new was priced at around $35K . You can buy cars that cost almost double this car's value for another $2-$3K over $17K.

So what happened? Did u buy it?!...pics?

johnnydeep

Guy wouldnt budge so I passed. Ended up finding a much sexier 05 with 68k on it at a dealership. They were asking 17k and I bargained them down to 14.5k. Ill post a pic up when I get a chance.
