Default Good deal?

I am looking at a 2002 IS300 w/ 88k miles and for about $11,000. The car is very clean and great to drive. Is this price reasonable?

Yeah that price is very reasonable. But since its almost time for the 90K inspection and repair, you may want to see if any of that work has been done. If not you'll need to have that done, so factor that into your total price once it's all said and done.

Good Luck

Yeah the price is very reasonable like Apex84 said... i got my '02 IS300 with 92,000 miles for $12,000... but it did have the 90,000 mile tune up which is a new timing belt and a few other things like a new water pump, which is around $2,000. Mine's a 5-speed manual too

I've been searching for IS300 for a little bit now and I've seen them go for around 11 for around 75k on the clock...not sure what that proves but just throwing it out there :P

Double check the KBB value and look around cars.com or autotrader to see how much other IS300 with similar year/ mileage/ options are running

mine is an 01 IS300 with 77k and I'm selling mine for $9900, so that's a pretty good deal for that car

An 02 is300 w/ 88k for $11k sounds right. Just like others said make sure the 90k service has been done or see if you can haggle the price down $$500-$1k. I had an 01 is300 w/ 75k & sold it for $11k to later buy my 02 is300 5spd. Is that car e-shift or 5spd? Automatic's blue book value higher but, we all know 5spd's sell for more in private party sales. Good luck!
