Weird, I tried it again and it works now. My bad.

Looks nice to me. If it has a clean report, full service records and the paint and interior don't have noticeable blemishes or excessive wear, I would seriously consider it.

Yea, I'll get a car fax report from the dealer too. I did check the service recodes and according to lexus.com the last time it was serviced was at 30k miles on 12/2010 I'll find out more tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback

Usually dealerships take off the shift **** to prevent people from stealing them. You'd be surprised the things people steal from cars. I know when I went to the dealership my IS didn't have a shift **** and when I decided to purchase it they gave it to me...it was weird, especially when test driving it and having to shift without the ****.

Hey Guys,
found another IS350, that im considering looking into. The owner said its in BRAND NEW condition, and only has one small door dent, with no accidents and clean title. I honestly think he is asking to much for it, I offered him 23k, he said he will get back to me. I would go take a look at the car, but he is 3 hours away from me, so if I go check out the car, I need to be certain that I will buy it. Here is the link for it:

thanks for the feedback

Yeah, seems little expensive for 2007 and a private seller. Make sure you have it inspected and see if all the TSB is done, since it's out of warranty and not from a dealer.

My thoughts exactly. Yep, planning on taking it to lexus if I decide to check it out. I spoke to the seller again and he won't do anything less than 24k. He claims the rims alone cost him 3k, I really feel like 23k for the car is a reasonable price (considering the current used car market). I'm going to keep looking, I think he might get back to me (hopefully).
