Question What would you pay for this IS350? Need your Expert input!

Hi Friends,

My search to become a Lexus owner continues. What would you pay for an IS350 like this?

2008 LEXUS IS350 WITH 70,000 MILES
2012 F SPORT FRONT BUMPER AND LIP
REAR 2008 ISF BUMPER AND SPOILER
MEGAN LP COILOVER SET UP
2008 IS-F Exhaust Tips
COMPLETE 2008 LEXUS ISF INTERIOR (SEATS, DOOR PANELS CARBON FIBER, ROOF LINER, PILARS, STEERING WHEEL, REAR DECK, ETC.)
2012 LEXUS F SPORT TAIL LIGHTS
HID FOGS AND HIGH BEEMS
2011 LEXUS ISF 19" WHEELS WITH BF GOODRICH TIRES
INVIDIA MID PIPE
IPOD ADAPTER, NAVIGATION, REAR VIEW CAMERA, HEATED SEATS
REMOTE START


NO HEADLIGHT WASHERS
NO PARKING SENSORS
NO REAR SHADE
NO RAIN SENSING WIPERS
ONE ACCIDENT, REAR BUMPER REPLACED


Also, would anyone have a clue on what Package the car originally must have had? I think he has DUAL MEMORY SEATS, BUT NO SHADE, OR WIPERS... that can't be the Luxury Package, right? Also has HEATED and COOLING seats ???

Thanks for all your help!!

$17K would be fair

That is at the VERY low end of pricing probably in less populated state. $19k-$20k is probably more reasonable.

Do you have a link? I sold my IS250 with 68K but had way more options.

I don't know about you, but 17k for a car like that is way too cheap. It would be 17k if it was an IS250. Maybe prices differ here in Cali compared to the east coast because I got my IS250 3 months ago for 17k. 2008 IS250 Starfire Pearl with black interior 60k miles. Fully stock and pretty good condition, not excellent. I would pay about 19-20k.

Is there a lot of added value from 2006 to 2008. I see 2006 models are a lot cheaper than 2008 even though it is only two years older. Are the first year cars that worse off

id say 20K-21K depending on the condition.

if its like in good condition 20K-21K, lot of wear and tear then 19K.

It's a 350 not a 250 and on blue book it's going for 22.5K

imo

Guys thank you for chiming in. I really appreciate it.

The accident and the lack of options bother me... What do you guys think? At the same time, it's unique enough where I could overlook some of the stuff like Headlight washers, rear shade... What do you guys think?

Lastly, can anybody help me solve the mystery of what packages this car comes with? Some things like the dual memory seating fits the Luxury package, while others don't like no rear shade or the telescoping steering?

Thanks again!

Thanks bud! Same question for you... Aren't the DUAL memory seats and the perforated seats, not to mention the heated and cooling seats... aren't those exclusive parts of the Luxury package and NOT the Premium Package?

Thanks!

You're welcome. No, they are not. heated and cooling are part of PREMIUM PLUS and came with:
Perforated leather trim
Heated / Ventilated seats
10way power seats
Leather console
Rear armrest storage
Wood interior trim

If you have memory seats you might have Luxury plus but you should have Power tilt/telescopic steering wheel and rain sensing wipers

Thanks again bud. Wow, you learn something new here every day! Didn't know where was a Premium Plus as well... Audi much :P? LOL!

Forgive me, I have never owned a Lexus, maybe the owner doesn't know he has the steering and and the wipers. Is there a definitive way of checking that out, while I am test driving the car? Like buttons or switches to look for? If so, where?

Thanks again!
