Looks nice...very clean. All depends on whether or not you like beige interior.

That's a bit high for a 350 that doesn't have Mark Levinson and memory seats.

Sport package.... nav (no ML), park assist, rear spoiler, headlamp washers... can't tell if it has XM or not... Pretty nicely optioned, and low miles too, plus CPO...seems pretty good to me, though obviously you can negotiate price down some

Look again- it does have memory seats (it's part of the sport package, and you can clearly see it one of the pics)

Price is high. Tell them if they'd consider $27k in cash OTD you'll book your flight right then and there!

figure there is 2-3k of negotiating room on the price.

Looks nice, but has some room for negotiation.

Looks pretty good to me. There's probably a little room for negotiation there, but not tons. I would just search Autotrader and Cars.com for prices on Certified 2008 IS350s with around 30k miles (and generally the same options) to see what they're going for. That's the best way to gauge how fair a price is. But just from my looking at the market, I'd say your starting point in the negotiation would be something like $27k and expect to meet around the middle.

Read this thread carefully and check the car over for the issues listed - a surprising number of CPO cars are still sold with issues listed here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...e-threads.html.

For peace of mind, I'd also invest the few dollars in getting an AutoCheck report, to make sure there's no accident/damage. Quite a few people on CL bought a car based on one of Carfax or Autocheck and only found later that accidents were reported on the one they didn't check.

For 29k I rather grab a brand spanking new IS250..

Let's not forget that the 2IS is a old model. The new model (3IS) will come out very soon. I am hoping to sell mine before it comes out..

I don't see the F-sport package? Doesn't have the F emblems on the car or the steering wheel. Rear spoiler is different on the F-sport package and the normal rear spoiler. Interior is leather and not alcantara/suede and the grill is normal.

the F-sport package did not exist until 2011 models.

Sadly the sport package was dropped for 2011.

The Sport package has a bunch of functional features the F-sport package does not. The F-sport package, apart from the suspension which the Sport package also has, is just an appearance package with a lot fewer functional features.
