yeah it says sports package but that can't be right...it's definitely Lux Pkg. I am thinking maybe it has aftermarket susp? I like those rims on 1, and it has more options.....but 2 has less miles and was a private owner where 1 was leased -- i want to weigh that in my decision.

I say #2 - low mileage and it's really has the sport package vs. #1

i say neither! why are you going to buy a car from IL or NJ when i see you are in VA? if i where going to buy a used IS i would buy from a lexus dealer local to you and get a Certified Used.

The description for #1 is Sports Package, but it has wood trim?

Also, does #1 have Nav (because #2 has Nav, with Sports package alum trim)...

I vote #2. It looks more stock, i.e. more likely the owner wasn't messing around with the car's parts for fun.

Lower price, you see all the necessary pictures, etc.

I'm shocked at how high the resale value is. One year and 3 days ago today, I bought my 2007 IS350 (i.e. not an end of model year model) with Nav, Premium, spoiler with MSRP of $42,407 for $36,200, and on top of that with the $750 taste of Lexus coupon, bringing my OTD less than $39K. I have less than 9000 miles on it, and these 06's are still getting $35?!?

But I like my car too much to bother doing anything about this...
