7500 sounds fair. If he has the paperwork to prove the work has been done then its a good deal.

I would pass. Can you send me his contact info?

Seriously though, if you are looking for an IBP with black interior, I would go for it! It is hard to find low mileage stock IS300s. If you don't want blue and would like another color, keep looking, I am sure another one will turn up for this price.

I've always wanted IBP. Everytime I came to either see or buy one I was just a few minutes to a few hours too late. So I settled with IJM to get me buy for now atleast I have a rare color as well for the IS300

It isn't a steal, but it's worth it so if you want it get it.

But in all honesty, look up the kbb value.
And tell him to show you proof that the timing belt was hanged.

Also keep in mind that it's a rare color, and has Nav!!
Hand him $7000 cash and he won't say no, trust me


but dont listen to me
im drunk and stupid

You cant really trust KBB with pricing cars like this. Also how do you know he has Nav? lol

And trust me i told him 7500 cash, and he wouldnt do it. Said he is firm on 8grand. Then i finally convinced him to go down to 7700. I think its a pretty good deal, ive been shopping around for one for about a week or two and this price isnt too bad. Its not crazy deal for me, but its a good deal in my opinion.
