Hey guys I’m going to be in the market for an IS 350 here soon. I’ve had V8 muscle cars SRTs SVTs and I want to get something different. I am not familiar with Lexus but I love the IS350 it is high quality and is fast. What are somethings I need to look for ? I have seen some clean high mileage ones but how many miles is too many on these cars? I had a SRT 300 and don’t buy those if they have more than 60k miles lol.

Just need some some thoughts and input. I would prefer one with the luxury package with the nav and back up camera. I appreciate y’alls input!

There’s also the ISF if your budget allows.

I forgot to mention my budget is around 10-11k

This will be my first winter with my is350 rwd. I don’t think it’s going to be that bad in the snow. I also own a few 4x4’s for the bad days.

A garage kept ( and clearly never driven) 07 IS350 was for sale near me for 15,900. She had 13,000 miles. Simply amazing to see one with miles that low. I thought my 07 was low at 55k , but wow. You’ll find the perfect one for you and you’ll know it when you see it. Check for dash/doors and recalls , service records, etc. Also , the word you’re looking for is quick. Lol. The cars are quick, not fast. Jk

​a lot has to do with luck. Lol
my is350 had all service records up to 100k, all recalls were completed. I purchased it with 128k on it and the motor went at 133k. Valve spring broke on the highway. Now I have a savage yard engine with 80k. If anything major goes used parts are reasonably priced. The way I look at it is the car is clean inside and out so it’s still cheaper than a monthly payment.

I won’t likely be able to swing a FSport and I don’t plan on lowering. I want to stick with the RWD. I will need something I can daily pretty easy and be able to take to the track or a show for fun. I’ve seen a few in my area with 100-150k miles for around 6-8k I’m still looking and I probably won’t buy till next year. My srt I had was pretty fast but that came at a cost. It had 34k miles on it 2009 model. I started having issues sturts went out. Brake calipers seized up. Oh by the way did I mention it was brembo brakes so yeah. Is350 seems like a good option for me.
