Default IS250 Full Package + NAV CAN $ 22,800

http://www.autotrader.ca/used_cars_C...ributes=photos,,

would anyone buy this? looks too good to be true. im guessing it was in an accident at some point because the AD

newb question: if im buying a used car like this one that i will only use for 4 - 6 years max and i dont expect to get much trade in value from it at the end of that period, should i still be worried about if the previous user had it in an accident or not? what types of issues can i end up dealing with if i got this vehicle?

FYI that car is not fully loaded (almost none are, a really fully loaded car is very very very rare).

I need more pics to be too specific, but it's at least missing PCS (a $2000+ option) and it's almost certainling missing Mark Levinson (since it says CD changer not DVD), it's probably missing the luxury package too since there's no mention of memory seats or rear sunshade....

and no headlight washers

So basically it's (by US standards anyway) a base model with
nav, premium, and park assist.

pardon my newbness but would you still get this? something seems fishy since most IS250's with NAV with 50 - 100K milleage are in the 25 - 30k price range.

wow 90k miles already. As long as the car is serviced regularly and not have been in an accident, i think it might be worth a shot to just go and check it out. I think the reason why its at about 23k is cause its at 90k miles.

These cars do last a while if the car is serviced within the recommended intervals. 90k is the only thing that is turning me off about the car. Go see it for yourself though. Also see if there is a carfax available for the car.

im okay with anything under 100k, at this point in the ISx lifecycle 2 - 3 years away from 3rd generation launch, im not looking to use this car for more than 4 - 6 years max and im hoping the ISx is dependable enough to go another 100K lol

I paid US $23k for an 07 250AWD, 32k miles, with same package as that car but without NAV. I bought it 8 months ago.

Remember it's a canadian car so it will always pay more for less compared to the US.

With that many miles on a common IS250, the asking price is not low.

If you can get it from the US I'd go that route. You'll save tons.

i got a 2006 IS-350 more "fully loaded" than that one for 24K and 50K miles so there are deals to be had! and mine was in perfect shape no previous accidents.
