Default Buying a 2006 Lexus IS250 with new transmission. Help

Hello everyone. A guy has listed a 2006 Lexus IS250 with about 133,000 miles on it for sale. He said he put a new transmission in the vehicle and it has 67,000 miles on the transmission. He says that he also lowered the car as well. He is selling the car for 8,200 dollars. This was kind of weird to me because a 2006 Lexus IS250 usually goes for about 16,000 bucks easy. He said the car is in great condition. He said the tires may need to be rotated and balanced but thats about it. I have pasted the link.

I wonder if this is too good to be true.....hmmmmm

Actually, that price is probably spot on for the model/yr/past history. The $16k would be the HIGH end for an IS350.

What problems have you read that you're worried about?
