What do you guys think? Should I inquire?

The ones I find around here have high mileage or AWD.

Drive an is350, then drive the is250, then if you don't care about the difference, buy it...

I guess I would save on the IS350 BBK upgrade or does the F-sport have the big brakes?

What do you think of this 350, it has 13k more miles and 2011 but the same price? I would take a vacation to Tampa to get it thought!

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...61004513&Log=0

They have the same exterior right? Some sites say the 350 is longer and wider but some say they are exactly the same.

Thanks guys. Hopefully one day I will be as cool as you talking about my real car. I do drive a dope Camry right now! wanna see? :laugh:

That's a very high price, especially with no options.. This is a good example I would buy the new generation for a couple of $$ more.

Does anyone find this listing strange? 2013 4k miles for 25k? Whats with the headlights?

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...58769005&Log=0


Do all 2011+ IS250's come with the LED headlights like these? Some of the listings don't look like they do but it might be the pictures.

This one doesn't have those headlights, why not?

Looks like some have the HID Headlamps option. Hmmm How much are those on ebay? haha

I appreciate all the guidance.
