I currently own an 07 IS350 but at this price I didnt think I could turn it down. Inside and out looks great. Should I pull the trigger?

It looks to be a very good price. This is what you would pay at the auction if you had a dealers lic.

Actually, thats just it. I have a neighbor with a Dealer's License and we are planning on going to an auction tomorrow. I was looking at getting a GS300 but when they are 23-24 with Nav this seemed like a no brainer. What do you think I should expect a 300 with NAV, ML to go for at auction?

It took me like 3 months to find a good deal in Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. I would search the autotrader every day or so and findly saw one recently posted so i went to check it out and it was in good condition with clean carfax history. After i bought the car...the owner realize he under sold the car for about 4K difference...i than purchase another one for $29K for one of my family member...mine was silver/black and the other one is white/ash...the key is to be patient and keep looking.
