I'm currently in talks with someone selling a 2009 IS 350 and would like to know if this is a good deal. The car has ~30,000km (not miles, I'm in Canada), fully loaded except for nav, sport package, certified lexus warranty for $24,500. Is this a good price? I was trying to get it down to 24,000 but i'm wondering if that's even a good deal.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 

KBB has the car at around 26 for very good condition. If you can him now to 24, i think thats a good deal. Maybe even less if you can.

 

It was originally listed at 27, so he's already come down, I have been trying for the lowest possible price. I know it's already a 5 year old car which made me hesitate at first but it has less than 30k km, plus warranty, it's like new.

 

That is a pretty good deal! I'd get on that. Specially since its still under warranty. These cars get over 300k miles as long as you take care of them!

 

In Canada? for real?
oh my, thats a good deal for sure.
is this a private sale? or Dealer?
check car history before jumping on it though.
Take to dealer or authorized shop to inspect and if all checks out
I would get it.

 

that is a very good deal..

 

Pretty decent price!

 

What does fully loaded except nav means.. I would say not loaded. Does it have ML, memory seats, Heated & Ventilated Front Bucket Seats, HID, Rain-Sensing Wipers, Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel w/Memory, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
Be careful that most dealers like to use the "fully loaded" expression too losely as people don;t know what options were available and what are missing.
You can look around in canada and see close to your zip cone on a 1000km radius what you find but IS350 are pretty rare

 

Get it as long as the title is clean and good service history

 

I made sure to ask him while finding out details, this is what he came back with


- Power telescopic steering wheel
- Power tilt steering
- Heated driver and passenger seat with ventilation
- Driver and passenger seat memory system with three driver settings
- Premium leather
- Power moonroof
- Electrochromic side view mirrors
- Rain sensing wipers
- Aluminum sport pedals with rubber inserts
- Chrome scuff plates
- Bi-Xenon HID headlamps with smart beam
- Adaptive front lighting system
- Headlamp washers
- Reverse auto tilting exterior mirrors
- Sport tuned suspension

so it doesn't have nav or the ML audio.

 

Here's a local car worth considering too I'd say... A year older, and a little more mileage but if you are so concerned in saving, start with this one maybe?

Figured i'd post here instead of starting a new thread. I'm still negotiating with the guy but recently a new one came up.

2010 is350 with f sport package, pretty much same options as the '09 (no nav again) but this one has 79k km and rear damage, new bumper and tail light. The car was dirty when I went to see it so I couldn't really examine the paint, it's black. He's asking $25k, what would you guys offer him? Only the power train warranty remaining. Would you stick with the '09 over this?

 

Definitely the 09 since it has so low miles + warranty + better paint. Check carfax and autocheck both to make sure they have clean title. Also check the maintenance history via drivers.lexus.com .
