Warranty maybe 100k on the powertrain if valve spring recall is done (not sure if this is transferable, i believe it is)
sorry, someone asked earlier in the thread about a warranty.

thanks for the info about the warranties. does the 6yr/70K warranty follow the vehicle even though i'm buying private party? so, for example, if the cam problem pops up, i can just bring my new car into a dealer and tell them that its under warranty? or will they automatically know based on the VIN?

thanks man! sorry, i'm a lexus newb!

Factory warranties go with the car no matter who buys or sells it (unless it's a salvage title or something like that). So this car does have the balance of a 6 year/70k powertrain warranty from Lexus with it. If the cam gear issue pops up, you bring it to a Lexus dealership and it's covered under warranty. Only concern would be replicating it, but there are ways to do that.

I'd say it's a good deal. I paid 23.5k for my '06 CPO IS250 back in July. Depends on where you live though. Where I'm at the color I wanted (SGM) with the options that I needed it was the only one I could find so I went for it. I don't feel like I overpaid because I got what I wanted and am very happy with the car. I'd say go for it, you'll love driving the IS.

thanks all!

picked the car up on saturday. tungsten 2007 IS350 47,000 miles. luxury package, park assist, headlight washers, nav. the only thing it doesnt have is the ML system. the guy also threw in a set of rear bridgestone potenza's with about 10K miles on them. extensive service records...recalls done, center dash squeak repaired, new brakes/rotors at 45K.

$23,000. from the looks of it, i did pretty well

Your car sounds like my twin lol. You probably don't have adaptive radar cruise control either. Because ML and that are the only things missing on my car as well.
