No shift **** usually means the car came from auction.

 

#2 IS350

-though it has the highest miles, besides option #1, the differences are less than 10% of total miles.
-est. $1,000 more for 100+ HP and/or Nav is great deal
-it's the color/wheels you want

seems like no brainer
whichever option you choose, good luck with the purchse

 

Thanks for all the honest responses so far. Looks like the 350 is a clear winner. I will definitely be looking into that one.

 

Test drive a 250 and then the 350; you'll easily see why the 350 is the true winner!

 

i would stay away from tan interior especially on a used car.

 

I would go with the 350, however make sure that car had the valve spring recall done to it.

 

^ huh. i should check mine... i got mine last year, its a 2007 is350. is there a TSB for 2007 valve spring as well?

OP: yes 350 should always win IMO. it also has an attractive color combo with nav and all the goodies. even though it has a little higher mileage i still feel thats negligible. its a Japanese car and these will last a very long time. i got mine at 89.XXX and that didnt scare me the slightest honestly (especially when i knew like 60000 of those miles were freeway. not stop and go.

goodluck with your choice! best way to decide is to testdrive and inspect. have fun and congrats!

 

get the 350.

 

Alright, so I've taken what you guys have said and I've prioritized the 350 over the 250 because of the power and lack of the carbon build up issue. However, the only ones close, with the exception of one, have over 100k miles, although just barely over. Do you guys see a problem with buying a 350 (or 250) with over 100,000 miles on it? I know these things will run a long time with proper maintenance, which all these seem to have, but I am still cautious. Here are the four I am looking at:

1) 2007 350 - 112,602 - $15,891

Price looks to be really, really good compared to the others I have seen.

2) 2007 350 - 103,045 - $17,876

Not the biggest fan of grey, but this one is close, has NAV and price seems fair.

3) 2006 350 - 105,424 - $18,995

Looks clean. A little pricier than I'd like, but workable.

4) 2006 350 - 76,266 - $18,999

Like above. Lower miles.

What do you guys think of those four. I kind of like the second one, even though I'm not in love with the color, but I like the NAV. First one is a great price of course. Not sure; opinions?
