the IS300 is an exceptionally well built car. get the carfax & service records, but i wouldn't worry about the milage too much ... i'd be kinda curious if they drove it or shipped it from CA to FL tho ...

as far as price, you gotta ask some1 else in your area if that price is cool ... in vancouver, canada the IS300 goes for over $20,000

There is a My.IS/forums and it has a Car F.S. forum. You will get a better deal there and you can find out if that the car is to high in price for that yr. I think its a little high. But thats just my opinion

Referral is 4dris. Thats my SN over there

Looks good, but it needs to have its 90k service, which includes replacing the timing belt. If this was not done yet, which costs about $1000, the price needs to be lowered.
