Here's a 2008 ISF with 60k miles (slightly over your mileage criterion) selling for $29,997 -

Here's a private seller 08 ISF with 37k miles for $28,500 -

Both prices seem a little low but I haven't really checked kelly blue book values so I'm not sure.
I think if you upped you price to $35k you could probably get a really nice used ISF.

Lexus GS350 - quick, reliable
MB C350 - not so reliable
Hyundai Genesis Coupe -- Why not Genesis sedan?
Kia Optima - I don't think you would enjoy long term since you've owned a Lexus.
Lexus CT200h - If you've had a 350 this would be a drastic change, speed, interior quality, MPG, etc
also a CPO'd BMW is a possibility...

MB C350 - I'm curious about the reliability. Is it poor?
Genesis Coupe - How sporty is the Genesis sedan? I've found quite a few with low miles around $25k. Putting it on the list and will probably take one for a spin.
Kia Optima - I was thinking the same thing (kind of goes along with Acura as well)
CT200h - it's low on my list, probably not going to make the cut

You got a good list there, maybe check out C350 Benz sport too, nice car. I would not do another IS unless its the IS F with the new model coming soon.

Well the IS ended up be a total loss as I expected. Did some shopping this weekend and came home today with an '09 GS350. A CPO with about 37,500 miles, paid $32,600. No pics yet but here's a link to the Cars.com link: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...aff=national#4
Thanks for all the input and I couldn't be happier with the selection!

Smokey Granite Mica. My IS was also SGM so I know what it takes to keep it clean, but yeah, sometimes it's a PITA. Just need to keep a good wax coat on it and it's not such a big deal.
