Hello,

I bought used white/cream 2007 IS250 from dealership. It has full option expect for parking sensors, the mileage is 18,500. The conditions of the car is in perfect condition, the previous owner leased the car. I paid $23,000 for it, did I make good deal on it?

Thank you,

PS. What is the average market price for my car?

Congrats! Sounds like a very nice car!
Price sounds pretty much in the middle- not high and not low. But if it's from a dealership, there should be some sort of official warranty and that buys piece of mind. Private party sales are often "cheaper," but you take more of a gamble with history/quality.
In the future, you can check out Autotrader.com to search for models and see what prices are hovering around.
Enjoy your ride!

You'd need to list the actual options you got, it's unlikely it had "everything" except parking sensors.

I know this is stupid question, but how do I know what kind of package this car has? The car has too many options to know which one is missing... is there anyway to check through vin number

You could see if it says Mark Levinson on your cd player, or if you have a nav and whatnot.

sounds like a good deal with all those features, i got mine new off the lot a couple years back for 30 out the door. but it's as stock as i could find in the bay area, just leather and wood trim. congrats on your purchase

Does it have memory seats?

Does it have woodgrain?

Does it have regular rubber pedals or aluminum Sport pedals?

Does it say "Mark Levinson" on the head unit?

Does it have the normal chrome looking L emblem on the front grill, or a dark colored one (this would be for PCS- radar cruise control)

If you press the SAT button do you get satellite radio?

Those answers would narrow it down quite a bit

This is the car I bought:

Can you tell me what kind of package I have?

Thank you,

PS. There's a static/rattling noise coming from the backseat. Can I goto any Lexus/Toyota dealership and ask them to fix it with basic warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles?

yeah seems like you got a good deal, is that tax included? I paid $27k for a fully loaded 07 IS250 AWD with 28k miles from a lexus dealer. I know AWD's are a little more expensive then RWD. Plus these cars resale value is pretty high do to the demand.

yes any problem you have or think you have take it in while its under warranty. I used mine to death for every little thing but hey thats what its there for.

No, I paid $26,000 out the door. I live in CA where tax alone is 11%

Although I love the car, I really miss Ipod adapter and USB. It would be perfect if there was a way to connect ipod and usb

Yup... looks like premium with nav... so it's pretty far from having all the options...it's pretty much a base model with two options- Navigation (which includes bluetooth and backup camera) and premium (which is woodgrain and the heated/vented seats). Still, even that's a lot more gadgets than a lot of cars have

I knew it! The sales associates was keep telling me how this car has everything and I am getting a bargain for full option IS250. Still, I love the car

Here are some noob question:

1.) Do I change oil every 5,000 miles? How much is oil change?
2.) Do I need to service the car with this mileage?
3.) What color is my car?
4.) Can I go to Toyota AND Lexus for warranty?
5.) what is the Routine maintenance of this car? (e.g: spark plugs, air filter, etc.)

I owned Audi A4 before so I don't know too much about Lexus.
