Default 06 IS250 84,000mi for $15,000? Good?

What do you guys think about an 06 IS250 84,000 miles for $15,000?

It's a clean title w/ 1 owner (an old couple), and up to date maintenance. Based, no navigation.

Is this a good/fair/average/bad deal?

Since it an elder couple you might be able to knock the price down. Without knowing the condition it hard to say. You say a clean title but what about the exterior/interior condition?

Good question. Exterior and Interior are real clean. "Excellent" as KBB would put it.

It's an AWD, silver exterior, black interior. Private Party says = $18,528 in that condition. They won't budge any lower than $15k.

Oh yeah? Man, I've been looking. It's been tough to find though. But if that's the case... I'll keep looking. I guess the good deals just go by fast huh.

$15k sounds about right, but you might be able to find one with more options for around the same price too.
