Should I buy
So I have been looking at different threads throughout the is - 2nd gen forum. And I'll find posts that are dying how amazing the cars are and how reliable they are. And then I find posts about how if you hit a pothole your car can get messed up. So, obviously I realize no car is perfect. But I'm looking at purchasing an IS250. I found a 2009 with around 64,000 miles for $14K and then a 2012 with 47,000 miles for around $20K. I personally like the color of the 2009 better but if the 2012 is a more reliable car then I would obviously purchase that one. So my question is would you recommend purchasing either of the cars? Or avoid one of them? For common issues that the two model years get because obviously you don't the specific details of each one.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Bought car
To everyone who has posted on the this thread! I've definitely appreciated the feedback. I ended up buying a 2012 Lexus is250! I didn't get the 350 because I wasn't able to find one that I liked. Definitely love my purchase!
