Been shopping for a used white Lexus IS350 for awhile now. Lets just say it hasn't been easy. Would appreciate some advice on a potential 350. Test drove everything runs and feels great and will also be taking it to a mechanic tomorrow. Really just looking for advice on buying a used Lexus with 114,000 on it. I understand fuel pump and timing belt will need to be replaced now or soon.

Is this a fair buy?

Just for reference, I bought my 07 X-Package IS350 for $21,500 with 27,000 miles from a private seller.

That car you're looking at looks good though.

Good luck

Too much money for such high mileage. Maybe $15k or so?

You won't find one in california.

The driver seat looks like it has heavy wear. But I guess that is common with a high mileage one. You can probably get it cheaper.

No need to replace the timing belt, because the car doesn't have one. On the other hand, it does have an accessory belt; check it for weathering/cracking/missing portion of the ribs.

No need to replace a functional fuel pump either.

13k won't cut it in CA. IS350 with certain options is not easy to find in CA. I bought my IS350 from IL lol

I think OP got a an ok deal. Lower as much as you can. The mileage is kind of high but check carfax, and lexus website to see its maintenance records before buying.
