Before I purchased mine I also was looking at a 30k is350 and it was pretty beat. I ended up with a 60k miles but glad I did because it was pretty much flawless...

^ my point is don't look so much at the miles as how good condition it's in. It tells you alot about how previous driver took care of it

It's a 9 year old car and the interior, frankly, looks it. If it drives REALLY well, I guess it's an OK deal but you could get a 2010 IS250 with less than 50,000 miles for the same price. Be aware that RECALLS will be carried out and paid for by Lexus, no matter what the age or mileage, but TSBs will not.

I agree with Mike_1GO. It looks like it is in terrible condition. I guess the salt damage is the reason why cars from areas that snow are quite a bit cheaper than cars in California. My 07 IS350 has slightly less miles than that and it looks brand new. That car looks abused.

I agree with the what the others have said. I live on Canada, and my OEM rims only have one curb rash. that's it. They salt the road from December all the way till April.

But again, I was my car twice a week sometimes in the winter XD
