Default Potential 350 Owner

Hey everyone, my name is Tristan. This close to closing a deal on a 07 IS350. Im from the Big Island of Hawaii but the car is on a different island (Oahu). It has 13,000 miles and I offered $26,000. I have done research on the car and it looks amazing. Coming off a 3 yr lease on an accord. Stepping up!

Question 1. Is this a good deal?
Question 2. Does the 350 come standard with bi-xenon headlights.
Question 3. For you 350 owners, are you pleased with your rides so far?
Question 4. Problem areas I should know about.

Thanks guys for any help and hopefully I can be part of the ohana soon!

For an 07 its not that bad you probaly could get it a little lower. I dont think it comes bi-xenon standard but im not sure. I love my 350 and im planning on keepinh it for a long time. Very reliable, fast and Luxurious. No problems yet just watch out for speeding tickets.

I don't know what they are going for there, but here in CA, I think $26,000 is a fair deal since it has only 13,000 miles on it. What options does it have? It doesn't hurt to try and see if he will take a lower price, try $24,000 and go from there. Unless he/she is really firm on the price you could get it to at least $25,500.

Can't speak to pricing as I bought new a couple years ago (and at the time it wasn't worth buying used as prices were so high for used)

But I can tell you HIDs have never been a standard feature on the 2IS, always optional.

For 2006 you could only get it in the Luxury or Sport packages.

For 07 and newer you could get it that way, or you could also get it as a stand-alone option.


Anyway, no significant problems with my car and I love it

I'd also say try and get it little lower on the price. From some of the is250 owners, they said that if you wanted more power go with the is350. I guess it depends what your plans are for the car (dd, cosmetic, or power).

I have an 07 IS350, no problems, I'm very happy with the car. I recommend the car with either Lux or Sport pkg.
