Default What are your thoughts on this IS350?
Folks,

Looking at picking up an IS350 and saw this one. It is quite a distance from me, so was hoping someone might be able to go through the pictures/information and let me know if they see anything of concern etc.

I know ebay links are not allowed for selling stuff - but I am looking at buying this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...fCarsQ5fTrucks

Were those wheels stock on 2009? Does everything look stock? Anything you see that raises questions? Also, what do you think would be a good offer for this? Thanks guys,

Jonny

Yes those are the stock wheels.

Looks to be a rental car. Personally, I wouldn't buy a rental.

Rental car ? What makes you think that?

Lease, yes... rental though??? I'm not seeing where that came from. I have never seen a 350 as a rental, especially with Nav etc...

My mistake. It was listed as a rental/lease. I looked again and it was a leased vehicle due to registration. Do you see a service record for it on there somewhere?

It looks nice but its close to 40k miles. I know that's not much by US driving standard now. But if you are not in a rush to buy a car, and you can raise your budget to 35k, you will find a 350 with much lower mileage, and possibly even a 2010 model w/Nav.

That price seems high for an 09 w/ that many miles... I got an 08 350 certified pre owner w/ 31k for 28,500 here in CA. When I was looking there was also a 09 CPO w/ 35k for about the same price.

Oh and black is going to be a **** to maintain... I had two cars that were black before my dark grey 350 and they were only clean for the 10 minute drive home from the car wash...
