The car i want is a 2011 is 250 with 85, 000 miles on it they are selling it to me for 21,000 is that a good deal for a car 3 years old with that many miles and since it got that many mile should i be worried about anything there or alot of them forsale for example there is a

2008 price 17000 miles 94,000
2006 price 17000 miles 65000
2008 price 18000 miles 54000

i only want the 2011 b/c it newer and has alot of the features im looking for but i will give them features up for a better running car HERE ARE PICS OF THE CAR I CURRENTLY WANT TO PURCHASE

Actually, that's a GREAT price...even with those miles. Hell, if the motor ever goes out on you, there's plenty of lower mileage cores out there can be bought and installed for less than a comparable 2011 with lower mileage. If everything checks out...do it!

BUT, before you do it, you MUST drive an IS350 and consider what you might be missing out on.

GL on your decision!

The price is just about right. Lexus is known for their reliability so your on the right track. Is it a certified pre-owned car?

About right where it should used from a dealership.

dagloman

yes that car is pre certified i will actually be getting it from the lexus dealership i looked at the is 350 also i really don' t speed like i use to i just want a sporty luxury car that look and get me to where i need to go no matter where that is so i should get the 2011 instead of the older year models even tho the milieage is lower on those models

Yes, I would get the newer year model because of the improvements/fixed that go in the later year models. If you've done your research you would know that the 2006-2009 IS250s suffer from the "carbon build up" issue but very few 2010+ models suffer from it. Also, you get LED DRLs on the 2011 and updated navigation. Plus if you don't put a lot of miles on it it would be worth way more when you trade-in sell a few years from now.

If you don't need one right away, I would hold off.

I found a 2012 CPO 350 for 7k more, with half the miles, clean car fax and 1 original owner. But I got lucky and shopped around for 4-5 months and don't know if that is out of your price range or not.

IS350AWD

I don't know...that is a pretty high mileage car for only a 2011.

Even if the car was purchased in mid-2010, you're still averaging over 20k/yr. I would first check to make sure whether these are highway miles vs. city miles.

i just found a 2008 IS 350 for 16,000 with 103,000 miles mostly highway miles im lost on what to get i know i have to get a car by this friday im givng my mother my another car for mothers day and my wife got my mazda 6 so i need this car this week and i don't want anything but a lexus IS this car is like my crack right now i just can't get enough lmao

^Just saying, those that got the IS250 and later drove the IS350 9 out of 10 times will tell you they wished they had gotten the 350.

Yup Even if you're not into driving fast or speeding per-say. The extra power difference is worth it, and my personal opinion, I prefer to have the power and not use it than to end up in a position where I need it and don't have it.

Either way, that price seems about right. Miles are a bit high but these cars are reliable. The DRL LEDs are dope but what other features are you looking for? A fully loaded, or well loaded 06-11 should have just about everything except for the DRL.
