I'm looking to buy a rebuilt title '07 SFP IS350. There is only two rebuilt title dealerships in Utah, and they only have around 1-3 isx50 on the lot at a time. And haven't had the year, and color I want for over a year. So to speed things up, I was hoping some of you could give me a few links to rebuilt title dealers around the country. I'm willing to travel up to 800 miles to buy one. thanks

Can't afford one, and don't want one with a grip of miles. my budget is $18k I know I could get an '06 with 1xx,xxxmiles. But i'm set on an '07+ and see some rebuilds with as low as 12,000miles.

Seems like you just have to play a waiting game and search the internet and look for one. It's gonna be hard to come by a salvage title that has to be a specific color, low miles, within 800 miles of you and under your budget. Just gotta have patience I guess! Good luck on your search!

I used to buy and sell rebuilt title vehicles, becareful from who you buy. I have seen some really nasty shady crap passed off as clean looking. You really have to be careful and know who you are buying from, and make sure you see pre-repair damages. If they will not show you those pics RUN. Or if they tell you they no longer have them then thats BS the DMV collects photos and receipts of everything.

I am not saying do not buy a rebuilt. But for 18 grand you can buy a clean title with 50-60k miles. Look on craigslist the deals are there you just have to look.

I personally when I sold rebuilt I only touched minor stuff, morally I couldnt put myself to rip people off. But I have been burned plenty of times. So becareful! Stay away from most rebuilt title or any cars from south florida Miami area. Trust me!

Best advise by far in this thread, I'm also in the miami area and know exactly what you are talking about.

18k is enough to get one under 50k on it. Buying a salvage IS with low miles don't hold value anyways. If your looking at mileage as a resale.

really?? that is way cheap what gives! lol. is that base model? Fully loaded '07 IS350 with 62k miles at local Lexus Dealership is $23,799
also a '06 is250 with 79,5k miles for $21,480

if I can find an '07 with clean title under 70k miles for under $20k i'll pick it up in a heart beat.

EDIT: Been browsing Craiglist for an hour. there are some killer deals. I didn't even think about craigslist, I've just been googling, and checking eBay :l
