My car was totaled last week , It wan't a bad deal since the insurance company offered $5xx less than what I paid for 4 years ago.

So I decide my next car are highly likely to be a IS300

so far I found one 2002 IS300 with 170000 km and asking CAD 5.5K (not mention number of owners)
another one is 2001 IS300 with 225000 km and asking CAD5.9K (this one only has one owner)

this question maybe stupid, but which one you value more, low mileage or number of owners?

My another concern is how expensive to maintain such a car?
I consider my mechanical level is far below professional levels, but above changing tires only level, maybe I belong to the "follow instructions, and take my time I can do it" level.

any thoughts are appreciated

I would check out the 1 owner car first. He may have nearly all the service records and could tell you all about the car from day 1. imo, this may be of more value if you're planning to keep the car for a long time. As for maintaining, there is a wealth of information available online if you're inclined to DIY. Welcome to ClubLexus

Thanks for the reply,
I am still struggling, the 50K difference it's like 3-4 years drive for me.

I was actually also looking G35 as well, but its OC problem seems common?
I am still trying to read through the forum and see what common problems IS300 have.

Meanwhile, if somebody can give me a right direction on what to look at
