I've been scavenging craigslist for a while in the Seattle/Vancouver area (I livein Vancouver). My budget is in the sub 20k. I notice most cars in that year are around 40-50k miles and cost anywhere between 20 - 26k depending on the model.

Is an is250 for around that milage for sub 20k reasonable? I was wondering if any of you guys purchased a similar year/model and milage and how much you guys paid for.

I got my is250 2007 with 34k miles for 21k at the dealer

Damn, how do you guys find such good deals? Do you guys look elsewhere other than craigslist? I understand that dealers do inject a fairly large amount of profit into the base price they pay for. Perhaps there is a lot of room to bargain for? How much can you talk them down to usually?

Are there any other places you recommend to scout?

I paid $23k for mine with 35k miles. It was a Lexus Certified car like i wanted and it was the dealership that i have a history with and trust so i didn't mind if i spent a little more than at other dealerships. I think i got a pretty good price tho

How are you guys getting these numbers???

I recently bought my CPO 2007 IS250 about 2 weeks ago. Sticker price was $25.8k. Here's what I walked out the door paying:

Car: $24.8k
Tax: 10%
Finance: 3.9%

So out the door came out to be $29k.

So a question to you guys. Are the prices being thrown out out-the-door prices? Cause if so, those are incredibly low numbers.

Same here. Last month i picked up my 2008 IS250 AWD with 41k, base model and paid $26k for the car + tax + finance. Wish i shopped around a little longer to get a better deal but what's done is done

I'm not completely sure what the 250 goes for but I was able to pick up my '07 IS350 fully loaded (nav, ML, etc) w/ 26k miles for $26,500

I researched for about 6 months before I found the right one but the deals are out there. Just give it time, be patient and don't compromise

Wow I can't believe some of you saying you paid 20Kish for only 35K

I feel douped!!

I bought my 07 Is250 in September of 2010 and I paid
20K with 55k Miles on her...
with 3.3% and taxes it came out right under 22k...

Holy tax batman! I almost fell over paying 8% NYS tax when I realized I could of dropped 2% if I had just registered it in PA via my bro's address (bought the car in PA).
