Default Is this car worth it.

Hi, so I went to a local dealer yesterday to checkout a IS 350 F 2015. It had one owner who had it for 5 month. It has ML spearkers, BSM and navi. It is in gray and has red interior. Everything looks pretty new and it has 11k miles. The only bad part is the mode *** (sports mode) is pretty scratched up. The dealer asked for 44k with tax, title and license. Is it worth it? Thank you guys.
(I think i misplaced this thread in IS-F section, anyone knows how to take it down there? :-)

For peace of mind, I'd rather a new one for $49k out the door. That is what some members here are getting.

you can buy a brand new Is350 F sport with full option for less than 44k, Probably around 42-43k.

What? Where? Msrp is about 49.5 and you're saying we can get them for 42-43? Hope you're right

What was the sticker price and out the door for this? Sounds like an amazing deal. I would expect a deal like this for the is200t f sport from the emails I've been getting from a few dealerships here in socal

I got a new 2016, fully loaded is350 fsport for $47,500 OTD. MSRP was $49,433

I also got an offer for an identical 2015 is350, for $46k OTD, only had 30miles on it.

Your paying 2K less for a more wildly used up car. Not worth. If it was under 40K OTD then MAYBE..

Note: I'm in Cali, everything more expensive here. Seeing all your post getting is350s for like $5k less makes me wanna cry.

$41,150 OTD?? Or car selling price?

What was the MSRP for that? That seems crazy for a loaded is350.. 2015 or 2016?
