Its an awesome car and one that is worth getting... bit that price is too high. I believe those are all standard features, not a part of any package.

I see you are listing KM, is your price in US Dollars or something else?

EDIT: even after doing the km to mile conversion, that is still too high (~48,000 miles). Should be closer to $24/25k

I would say its a little high unless it comes with the extended 100 or 125K mile warranty. Those are all standard features I think. I would say mid 20's is more what it should be.

Post a link to the ad... 2IS ads are notorious for incorrectly describing the options the car actually has but you can tell most of em with a few pictures

I'm guessing you in Canada, thats a canadian price right there for a used 350....
if its at a lexus dealership I would say make them try go lower , cuz you dont have nav and d rest of them whistles.
I know you have been looking but try looking at other dealers, cuz taxes in is going to be about 32k

That's what I'm thinking too. I know that cars are more expensive up there.

77,000 km? Canadian car? what province? Definitely too expensive regardless, specially since it doesn't have navigation, just the leather and moonroof package. You may get one for 25 around Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC, but definetely not in Ontario and Quebec. You are looking at around 20 to 22 thousands for a clean car.

I got the same car with 35,000 miles for ~$26,000 last year. US dollars, which I think it's the same as Canadian dollars now ...

Well it says the car is in 77km, the buyer is obivously not in states. Different countries deff have different prices!!!!! a brand new yaris in israel is almost $35,000!!!!!! So depending where the buyer is that might be priced about right.
