Is this a good deal on a 2007 IS250 AWD?
hi guys,
http://www.koonslexusofwilmington.co...-DE/1724878983
My fiance wants to buy a 2007 IS250 AWD. It's CPO with 3yr/100k warranty. The car has 55k miles. It's a 2 owner car. 1st owner leased it.
It's selling for $21,500. We got the price down to $20,980 w/o taxes and fees ($669). And we're trying to get the fees included into the price right now.
She seems to like it. I think it drives fine and doesn't look bad.
What do you guys think?
And any problems I should look for? Common problems?
Thanks!

Check Lexus.com for the dealer service history.
Check the car and history over closely for signs of the common problems listed in that thread.
I think if you get it for $20,980 out the door that's a pretty good deal. I will say that you definitely want CPO for an IS250 given the carbon build-up issue (which there's a mega-thread on, linked to in the thread above). It's a problem that can recur often unfortunately and the fix out of warranty can be $1500+.

I think it's a bit too much on the price, I got 2009 CPO IS250 AWD in 2011 with 32k miles on it for $25k w/o tax and registration. it has nav and park assist option. Also, the tires/wheels are covered until the extended warranty for 5yrs or 125,000 miles.
I think there should be more room to bargain down the price or you can search another place.

Thanks Calvin! I ran the VIN through the Lexus website and found that there has been numerous bodywork done to the car. I'm staying away from this car.
If only I could persuade the missus to buy something that can run 11s...

Just continues to prove that you can't trust these reporting agencies 100%.
