New member mulling over used 2006 Lexus IS350 purchase...opinions?
sounds like a good deal, honestly too good to be true for a 350 with that low of miles, best to see for yourself.

I'm a firm believer in that saying...but what I was told that the older gentleman that sold this vehicle had this Lex as his secondary vehicle. So he really just didn't need it, and just sold it for whatever. So I'm profiting on his loss.
Oh, so I'm seeing that there are these indentions in front of each of the headlamps...I'm assuming these are the lamps sprayers? Is that part of the pkg that the memory seats come with? Sweet! Added bonus!
Pics loaded back on pg #1.

My '06 is the Luxury pkg, with memory seats. Lux has about all the options, except for headlamp washers, XM radio, radar-controlled speed setting, and ML stereo.
I did get the free extended power train warranty, along with the valve spring recall. (May not be available to you, though.)

IDK, but I'm reasonably sure that memory seats, and tilt wheel are part of the LT (luxury) pkg. Headlamp washers were separate. It looks like those little round spots on the rear bumper are for a too-close warning system when backing up. I don't have that, so it wasn't a Lux pkg feature, either.

When I ordered my '06 IS350 Park Assist (the little buttons on the front and rear bumpers) was a separate option, as was the ML with my Nav. Also the headlamp washer and the PCS were other separately ordered options.
It does appear that the car in question has PA and the HW options. Doesn't look like it has ML although maybe I'm just not looking at the picture correctly.

Definitely no ML, but after all of the problems people are having with that sub I didn't think it was a good idea. But watching DVDs while cruisin would have been cool.
Uploading corrected pics now! Looks like there is a slight scratch on the rear bumper on the pass. side near the pop-out square block. This was all pre-detailing...so we'll see what it looks like after soon!
Oh yeah, I got final approval of the loan for this thing today. So the finances part of this purchase is near completion. Also got the tickets for the trip up...only $120 one-way! Thanks Expedia!!! LOL

^Thanks, and yes it was! The dealership really had no idea what they had at all. Not only is it have Prem and Lux, but also the Sports pkg! Only options this does not have is the X-pkg obviously, ML audio, adaptive cruise, and rear shade.
My "new" 2IS is sitting proudly in my driveway after its flawless 600+ mile road trip from NJ to SC. Needs a good exterior and engine bay cleaning and I'll post up a new thread with intro pics.
Oh yeah, so the previous owner's log of recalls and warranty work with the local Lexus dealership was all in the glove box! Valve spring and floor mat recall around done. The issue with the water pump was all stemming from a simple leak; replaced under warranty without issue.
Thanks for all the input all...I couldn't be happier!
