Okay, so next month i get to buy a IS, or this month if a good deal comes by. well heres what im looking for. 06or 07 is350 with navi,Black, lux package would be nice but not mandatory. and for about 30 grand.Basically a black is350, is that possible? i found one on ebay thats close but the price is outragous but i was thinking i could bring it down to the true cars value.

You might be able to find a high mileage 350 for around 30, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

The price for that car is NOT outrageous. Given the options and mileage, I would say it is worth 35-37k.

There aren't a ton of them for sale, and they tend to do pretty well in resale.

Only 10% IS2 are 350 models and finding one with options is a needle in a haystack. Why don't you get a new one instead? It would only run you about another ~$150 more a month and you can get the options you want instead of wishing you had a certain option. Its the same conclusion I came to and ordered mine.

I don't think it's 10%, it's more like 30% of all 2IS are IS350s. The 10% thing was probably made up by the dealers so they could ask for more for IS350s.

check out the CPO ones from the dealer....

I believe it is <20% of total IS's that are 350's. And it could be even less the last six months or so. Take a look at what dealers have in stock.....very few 350's.

To the OP, I doubt if you'll be able to score a CPO IS350 with those options for $30k.

Lexus did target the IS350 to be around 25% of the lineup but since the 250 sales are so high and the 350 are not, the numbers are close to 10%. Not a whole lot of these are out there.

i did, theres only 2 is300's in the dallas area.

DrShoe

Well I guess I do see a lot of IS350s here in California so my estimate might have been skewed.

oh, i talked to my dad and we looked online for a used one and he decided to get me a new one. I dont think that he knows the true price of a new one.
