Looking into buying a used IS, seeing a lot on sale with around 60-80kmiles. How dependable are these cars after those miles? I know it all depends on how it was taken care of and what kind of miles, highway or not...but just wondering if that would be a good investment to spend 16k-19k for a nice car like the IS but with that many miles.

60-80k miles is nothing on the 2JZ. As long as it has had it's proper maintenance, these motors have hit 300k miles with no problems.

I bought mine almost 2 years ago with 74k on it.. it now has 121+ Nothing wrong with it other than regular maintenance and a few odds and ends that were nothing to do withe the motor or drivetrain..

a friend of mine had 180k when he traded it in.
never did anything besides regular maintenance.
