I wouldn't buy any vehicle with 107K miles.
Especially an expensive part and labor cost luxury vehicle.

I've had nothing but issues with used cars. I will get another one in the future sure but be ready for issues. I suggest you do the same.

Especially after reading that OP's last post...

"It has 109k miles and in September we needed to have the Driveshaft Carrier Bearing replaced, Transmission Mount replaced, and the Drivebelt Pulley replaced."

I was thinking about posting what you just did.

Nothin better than buying a CPO Lexus. I think I may have to extend my warranty. At first I was just seeing CL members having Navi issues, especially with 06 models, but it may be wise to do so regardless of how "reliable" Toyota/Lexus can be. And that goes for any car nowadays. Its better to be safe then sorry I suppose. I plan on keeping my car for a very long time since I've already invested alot of time sweat and money into it for the past 4 months I've owned it. So unless all cars start looking like this in the next couple of years I think the 2IS model will still look good for its age

If I would keep my IS past the basic warranty,I'd buy a discounted Lexus Extended warranty from guys like Troy Dietrich in a heartbeat.
I usually don't keep a vehicle that long,though.

Dang! Less than 5000 miles a year? Heck, I would save and just freaking walk.
My 2011 ISC 250 will easily do 15k a year and that's a very conservative number.

The price is took high--buy something else if that is what your budget can afford, like a Toyota or Honda. Since you don't know the true history--how it was driven, by whom, how it was maintained, how many owners.....etc.

I would try to buy something with half the miles for around 20-22K--much better in the long run.

A cheaper option would be to start out with a Acura TL or G35 sedan - less expensive to begin with & less expensive to maintain (relatively speaking).

Some of the newer Accords are pretty nice as well.

If you can find a CPO one in your price range, that's the way to go. That's what I did, and I'm extremely happy. 2007 IS350 CPO with 56k miles for $24k.

I can pretty much agree with everyone here that its too expensive for the price. You'll be better served with something with less mileage since the car would've undergone less wear and tear. Best bet is to save your hard earned cash and hold out for a used car with lower mileage.
