Default Looking for help with IS300 Purchase

Hello everyone,
I am a noob at this so please bear with me :-)

I am looking for an IS300 in white - where is good place to look for them that is reputable (don't really feel like looking through craigslist)?

I would like to spend around $10,000, what kind of mileage and condition should I expect for that amount of money?

Finally, anyone who finds the Lexus I purchase will receive $50 Cash!

Thank you.

What's wrong with craigslist? Thousands of reputable dealerships use craigslist as a source of advertising. Find a car from craigslist, have your mechanic inspect it before you buy it. Honestly where else are you going to look? Autotrader and cars.com are your only other two places. Craigslist always has lots of choices in finding cars... But if you don't want to use craigslist, good luck.

Depends on where you live. Here not a lot of IS300's for sale so they tend to go for more money. But 10k should get you a 100-120k mile 02-03. While I like my IS I suggest getting a GS430 instead. Much nicer car overall.

Ain't that the truth! I couldn't believe that. I got mine w/ 65K from autotrader from a dealer who kept everything in a pristine warehouse for $11,500. It had one owner who was an older retired navy guy. This thing was immaculate the day I bought it, still has window stickers and all!
