Question How many miles an 07 90,000 mileage drive to?

I'm a fan of IS250 and I'm going to get one in 3 weeks. My questions are
1. How many miles a 07, 90.000 mileage drive to?
2. That lexus is a grey one with navigation. They sell it for 18.000 + Tax and stuff. Is that a reasonable price ?
3. And with that amount of money, should I buy another brand since that Lexus has a bit high mileage?
THANK YOU!!

I would think that a Lexus motor like the one in the IS250 will last. I just know about buying a car for 18 k with 90k miles on it. Have you looked at some 06-07 camrys, accords. To each his own but the best years for a cars life imho is under 100k. After that you are just waiting fore little things to go.

90K is just barely broke in. It'll last a while.

My brother just bought an 08 Accord LX, 40,000 miles for $14,000 OTD. Thats a pretty good price for that clean title Accord.
I did look at some 07 Camry, but If I don't buy this IS250 I would rather buy an 08 Accord than a 07 Camry. I prefer the interior of the Accord.
Unfortunately, I fall in love with IS250 man! I just missed an 06 IS250, 75,000 miles for $17,000. And now that grey one is the cheapest on the market...Thank you for your advice!

@IS350Jet: "For awhile" sounds scary man. BTW, thank you!

You should all change your careers and become interpreters, because I had no idea what in the hell this guy was asking.

Um... 18k for a is250 with 90k miles??? That's a LOT OF MILES for a 07 car. I'm sure you can do better than that.

My 07 is250 was 28K including taxes and it had 20k on it when I bought it in 08....
