Well, depends how much you value the car to be. I mean with the information provided, it was involved in a crash... probably hit in the front since there was a headlight issue. It didn't start at some point.
What does the car come with? i.e. Nav, HID's, Rear Camera, etc?
I bought mine for 31k after interest (they gave me 1.9% on a CPO ) and mine came with hids, navi, backup camera, front/rear parking sensors, illuminated door sills, allseason mats, etc. It had 32k on the odo,it was never in an accident and it was a single person lease before me.
Depending on what it has, you can bargain with the dealership. I went back and forth for 4 hours and eventually they caved into what I wanted. I mean when I bought it there wasn't a single person coming in and looking at cars.

RUN, Forrest.. RUN.
There are plenty of other IS250 AWDs out there for similar pricing with LESS miles that have NOT been involved in a crash. Expand your search nationally. We had to travel 900 miles away to find the right deal on our IS350.. but found a guy in the middle of BFE Kentucky with a 2008/42k mile, mint condition granite metallic gem that looked like it just came from the showroom WITH the 100k platinum extra warranty.. for $22k.
Be patient and look nationally.. that's all I can say.

Also, if you're looking for an AWD.. look down south. They aren't valued as much as up north and won't have quite the underbody corrosion. As a general rule, I never buy a car from a big city or up north.
