Default 2016 IS200t

I am currently researching buying a 2016 IS200t with 87,495 miles from a Westside Lexus in Houston, TX. The have it listed @ $18,888. Looks like it was well maintained. Are the any issues I should be aware of at this mileage? I will most likely buy an extended warranty.

Look for an IS300 with naturally aspirated V6.

good idea. Although my boy has had his 2016 is300 since production, never has had any issues nearing 200k with original turbo, 162k miles to be exact. I think toyota turbos are different from german car turbos. But personally if its not a race car, i would not touch a turbo with a 11-foot pole.

I've owned many turbo cars with no issues. From daily driver to race cars. I love turbo. Never had any major issues. Just do your maintenance.
