Does this IS350 seem 'good'?
Link was removed.. but a 2006 IS350 45k Miles for 19.9k$ white, flawless exterior..
Literally, the exact interior, exterior colors, mileage, price, spoiler, right packages!! Haven't checked the car fax yet but due to certain circumstances, I won't be able to get a car until the Summer
Have been debating the 335 and 350 for a long time now but I feel the IS350 will serve me better than the 335 can with its horrible reliability.
Let me know what you think of this car, hopefully its still available in the summer, i doubt it but I expect keep this car well into 2016.. will be well maintained, hopefully it holds up like some of your cars
thank you

I find CarFax can be very unreliable. My brothers Civic was involved in an accident back in 2009. The accident wasn't that bad, but there was a few thousand in damages - bodywork and airbag replacement (bulk of the cost). Went through insurance of course for all the repairs - including trips to the dealer for airbag work. To this day, the Carfax is CLEAN. Not a negative thing at all, in fact, it says this car is worth a couple hundred more than fair market value because of its condition.
Never trust CarFax or Autocheck, it's a good idea to check them to see if anything was done, but it doesn't always tell the whole story of the car's past. The best thing to do is have the car inspected by a mechanic and/or bodyshop that you trust. It may cost you some money, but it may be money well spent if you find out about a bad accident.

If it is clean and has nav, heat/cool seats etc. then its a good price. At 45k, it will have new tires and should have had the front pads changed as well. Ideal would be if it also has the ML system. If its a base model, then its not a bad price perse, but I think you should push for $1k off or so.
If you have any questions about the condition of the vehicle, take it to a Lexus or Toyota dealer for a pre-sale inspection. Usually runs $75 to $120. They will put it up on a lift, run through the whole car and let you know anything that needs attention. This will also provide ammunition for a price drop with the seller if it needs any maintenance.
Good luck!

If it clean (car fax wise) and everything else looks good...it's a descent b...low miles for the year so that's good...prob owned by an older person, or someone whose job provided a vehicle....all the luxuries plus speed...grab it...also see if you can get a warranty from lexus and let them do the certified check at your local dealer

Guys CarFax is bogus as heck. Yes you can run it to see if anything is there. But just couz its not dont mean its safe. My 99 maxima was bought brand new, it was involved in 10-13 accidents (not major where frame was damaged) but car fax had no reports of this what so ever.
