Help in buying a 2011 is250 f sport.
Hello CL members,
I have been watching the threads and replies for over a year now and finally decided to join the club. I am an international student from Saudi Arabia studying in Los Angeles and its my senior year. I have been looking for a clean used lexus lately and i found one that i fell in love with. its an F-Sport is 250 2011. it has 4900 miles and it still smells like a brand new lexus. the owners is asking $34,000 for it. The owner is my friends father. The car fax is clean and its a 1-owner. I just have couple of questions that i want you to help me with.
I checked the record through lexus website and it only has one service which was inspection @ 4000 miles.
What else should i look for?
Were there any recalls on 2011 is250?
What is the price for a brand new is 250 f sport? i saw the price tag for his, it was $41,433.
What do you think about the price he is asking? what is a good price for a car like this?
Give some tips to check before i purchase the car. i am planning to buy it this friday.
Thanks !

A used car is a used car, regardless of the mileage.
A base 2011 IS250 RWD Auto in outstanding condition would go for 27k from a private party. The f-sports package retail for 2.5k, so maybe 30k? Did his car come with luxury package or navi?
Edmunds.com has the 2012 IS250 RWD Auto with F-sports for ~35k

In LA for a 2011 F Sport 250 with Nav and HID's the True Car price looks like $37,125 NEW. ....You have to click on the "modify options" to see the F Sport option!

I got mine for $36k new in April of 2011, so if their are any 2011's new left, you should be able to do better!
I use to love True Car, but as of lately their prices seem a bit high. I just purchased a new 2012 Acura TSX Special Edition Automatic for $28,500....True car says $30,420 is a great price and even the dealer cost is at $28,995.
