Default Good Deal for IS 350

2007 IS 350 with 45K miles from a Toyota dealer at $23,900 out the door. Not certified, and no navi, but has 18" rims and HIDs. Is this a good deal?

What is private party value in good condition? Somewhere between that number and PP excellent condition is the sweet spot if buying from a dealer.

hmmm i wouldnt take it.. They should atleast offer you some warranty until 60K miles.. seriously for that price i think you can get a newer IS250 if you dont mind the HP.

Isn't this a better deal then what you found? I found this within 2mins, it's way lower mileage and comes with exhaust and x pac. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/1711888424.html

Can you copy/paste the ad? Craigslist is blocked here at work.

An 07 with 45k miles would still be under the full factory warranty (for another 5k miles anyway...) and the full powertrain warranty for another 25k miles (or till 6 yrs from in-service date)

^ lol good point, most likely a special order. As far as the spelling goes, if I'm advertising for a Lexus dealership, I would want to put my best foot forward for the sake of credibility and professionalism by making sure I spell the features of the car right.
