Default Good deal on 01 IS?

Hey everyone, its been a while but ive been looking at getting a IS for a while now and came across this one on CL and was wondering if you guys thought it was a good deal or not for the price? (what would you offer?)

the front bumper is broken so it would need a new one and its got some dings and minor things here and there that would need fixing but the engine runs really smooth and there were no issues from what I saw.

thanks guys look forward to getting back in a Lexus! soon

i have done that baadhabit (always do) and i feel the car is accuratly priced for the the condition its in minus the bumper situation. so i factored that into my offer.

i really just wanted to see what my fellow CL friends though about it as i have been away from lexus cars in general for a while.

No I've seen that car on there for quite a while, there are plenty of IS's that are overpriced at the moment just keep looking. However, if you like it then go for it, it is a clean car but it just has too much miles IMO.
