2006 IS250 AWD with High Mileage - To Buy or Not to Buy?
Hello,
I would like to know if buying this 2006 IS250 with AWD would be a good idea at the asking price? I currently has 150,XXX miles. Following the Buyer's Guide, I did manage to pull up some service history from the car. (listed below)
Obviously, there is a little over 40,000 miles that are unaccounted for but I was planning on taking it to a Toyota dealer for an inspection.
If it all checks out, is it worth the risk? (and 2 hour drive?)
I must admit I am only a student that is really eager to drive an IS and am interested because finally something pops up that is "affordable" for me. So any advice to save up a little more money will definitely be noted as well.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

wow..that's really cheap for a clean title car, even if it's high mileage
as long as you get it checked out and make sure there are no problems or anything the seller is trying to hide, i say go for it
do some research on maintenance costs and insurance and you're good to go

Thanks so much everyone, all the input was greatly appreciated!
But unfortunately, I missed out on this one due to taking too much time, lack of transportation and phone malfunctions. LOL.
One day (very soon) an IS will be mine!
I will continue to lurk the forums until then!
