Default new guy help

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums and am looking to purchase a CPO 2006 IS350 with 40k miles for my wife, I have the opprtunity to purchase this for 21k, is this a good price, it seems to be loaded with everything under the sun. Since its under warranty i assume that I shouldn't be too concerned with anything mechanically, any advice would be appreciated.

And thanks in advance!

I would have to say that sounds like a fair deal if it's really loaded, I've seen them going for more in my area..I have an 06' IS350 with approx. 80K miles and have had zero issues *knock on wood*

$21,000 is a good price for a CPO IS with 40k miles! If it's loaded that just sweetens the deal. Just check the Carfax (tho that wont tell you everything anyways) and the cars service history to see if it all checks out.

Thanks for the reply. And yeah it has, nav, bluethooth, back-up camera, parking sensors, rear shade, rain sensor wipers, in das 6 disc, stereo is ridiculously loud (or im getting old,lol), sport package, memory seats (driv, pass), heated/ac vented, probably missing some stuff but thats what i remembered off my head. I actually bought it verbally, hes waiting for title from lexus (today or tomorrow). Oh also more importantly its lexus certified.

Since carfax doesn't tell everything you could try to look up the serivce history if any.

Just curious, do post what the VIN# is?

That's a good deal - my 2007 CPO IS350 with 56k miles and all options except ML was $24k, so I think you're getting a great deal. If the Carfax is clean, jump on it.

Mark Levinson is the correct spelling.

pull the trigger, thats a sweet deal there, they wont CPO cars that have been in major accidents or have mechanical issues- it wouldnt be in their best interests since they would have to pay out the butt to fix your issues since its under warranty.

Damn, I keep seeing all these pricing threads and I think I overpaid for my car. I'd say $21k for a CPO is a good deal.
