Hey everyone. New member here and new to the IS, but not to Lexus. Family has been driving them for many years. Looking to get a used Lexus IS 250 or 350 under $18,000. I have found a few through autotrader and I was hoping you guys could look over these and maybe tell me which one may be a better car to try and buy. Of course, these are all asking prices and just how low I can get the price is unknown, but maybe you guys can help me there too. A few things to keep in mind is that I really want the navigation which is why most will have them and I also really like the premium 5 spoke wheels (I think that's what they are called) like in the first link below. I also really want white or black, maybe grey or red. Don't really like any of the other colors.
Check last post for update.
Thanks for all the help guys!

I would go with the second one. Black is always a timeless look, It has the nav and the wheels that you want. I didn't think I wanted the extra horsepower when I bought my 250 but I have regretted it everyday I have had it. Go with the 350.

I'd go with #3 the 2008 IS 250. First of all it has the least amount of miles, and it also has the same rims as the IS 350. Who cares if it doesn't have the Navi, any smartphone can easily replace that. #1 is also nice but you will regret getting the white carpet, and the seats look like they aren't in good shape. If you like slamming your cars I wouldn't go with #4 and #5 because of AWD. My overall advice to you is #3

There is no doubt that you should go with Is350 IMO. I have the same story as DaMitsuMan only that I was looking for IS350 and couldn;t find anything with the miles I wanted in my area so I jumped on a IS250. I made a great deal but I'm crying for extra power everyday.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far! Seems like the 350 is the favorite right now.
@sr20mofo - If I wasn't all the way over in Kentucky I would definitely look at yours!
