saw a nice CPO 07 is350 - what problems to look out for? i went on a test drive and everything seems fine except for crappy braking and loud engine noise but i think all lexus are like that.

braking on an is350 should be really good, i have no problems with mine. it being a cpo everything should have been taking care of, but check the fuel rail recall and all the tsb's that pertain to the car in question. gl with the car, youll love it

the problem you'll really need to look out for is... police speed traps, its soooo easy to go quickly in a is350

There are no real problems with the IS. Just minor recall/TSB stuff which mostly all owners and dealers have taken care of. Lexus are known to be tomb quiet, so if this one was loud, the engine was either cold and not warmed up or something else was wrong. The first thing most people say about Lexus is how quiet they are.

braking shouldn't be crappy at all, my car brakes nearly perfectly in my opinion.

Look out for any body work... just because it's a CPO doesn't mean it is free from body work... something many people including myself didn't pay much attention to.

You mean injectors

IS-SV

If the car is normal, there should be no crappy braking or loud engine noise. The injectors ticking sound can only be heard standing outside of the car.

I know when I first got my IS, I thought the noise from the DI fuel pump (slight groaning noise you can hear from outside the car) was a bad pulley or something...

The Lexus dealer re-assured me that the noise was 100% normal, and they checked everything over anyway...

thanks guys. they replaced the brake pads after the CPO inspection and it's better now. there was a $299 document fee they wouldn't budge on waiving. anybody else get their's waived?
