Fair price for this IS350?
Hello, all,
I've been lurking here for a while since last year to educate myself about IS350 from the owners perspective. I've been looking to get a slightly used one since late last year and I thought I found the one I wanted. Long story short, the deal went south and I'm looking for one again.
I just looked at a 2011 IS350 with F-Sport package on at a local dealership. It has only 3000 miles on it and the dealer's asking price is $41,500. The car had and F-exhaust on, which I believe is NOT included in F-Sport package, correct? It does not have Mark Levinson, which makes me believe that the car came with "Package-B" per Lexus' official website. So my question to you is do you think $41,500 is a fair price for this car?
I noticed that Lexus doesn't offer Mark Levinson on their website, although their 2011 brochure has it as an option with Nav? Also, what is the consensus on Mark Levinson vs. the standard audio? Is it really that much better than the standard audio? The dealer had an IS-F with ML right by the IS350 and I played their radio back to back, and honestly, it was pretty hard for me tell the difference. Maybe a little more "thump" with ML?
Also, does anyone know if F-Sports IS350 comes with HID headlamps as standard? Lexus' website says it's "Not Available"
TIA
