I wouldn't buy it just because of it being a company owned car. Employees don't care about company cars, and an IS350 especially was probably abused by employees. That's probably 90k miles of pretty harsh driving too. Sure its a Lexus and its reliable, especially if all service has been done, but if it's driven hard all the time it will show its age and all the wear sooner than later.

these cars are not always beat on. while the price is high, i will argue that people dont always beat on their company cars. my dad has an sts and drives 33k a year as his company car and he babies it. so i think to assume it got the **** beaten out of it is not always the case.

True, someone could have babied it, but all i'm saying is that with a company car there's a good chance its been driven hard a lot of its life. Of course its not always the case, but generally people don't care about rental or company cars too much.

The mileage I wouldn't be too worried about at all, but if it was a company car... eehhh.... My dad drives a company car and well, I'll just say that he drives it like he doesn't own it. lol
