Hey guys
I been thinking of buying a 2IS, my price limit is about $18,000. The only cars i seen for around that price have about 80k miles or even about 100k. I was wondering if cars with that amount of miles would be a good purchase. Thanks any input would help.

go for a 350, is250 has carbon issues.

thats a bit steep for cars with 80k+ but really depends on what years you are looking for. I got my 06 with 70k for $14k so it kind of worked out. Got it for a steal since it was worth MUCH more. Lexus has reliability so I would say it is worth it but really need more info on what specifically your looking for our of this car

Well here in California, used cars are more expensive, due to better weather conditions, rust..

IS250 you will find around $16k with about 70,000 miles 2007. The 350, I just got one $16.2K with 87K miles 2006.

Go with a 350. You will appreciate the extra power and on the used market the prices are very similar. 80k on the lexus is just getting broken in. Sold my 2007 350 with 105k last week.

just purchased an 2006 IS 350 with 60000 miles for 16,500. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find similar. Use auto trader.

Personally, I would go with the IS350. Mileage isn't an issue, this is a Lexus we are talking about. These cars are very reliable. Make sure to check carfax and various other reports that the dealer can provide you with.
