That said, AWD would be favorable in your state. Was it rusty?
Also, an 07 w that low of miles, it can need more maintenance than a higher mileage car as sitting does them no good either.

Probably a good price with that low milage but if the inside is that bad, smart move. You spend time driving INSIDE the car, after all.

Agreed. Dealing with the interior sticking to your hands is disheartening. The sticky dash/door panel issue was a non-starter for me. That is why it took me a year to find my IS that had the recall performed and met my other specifications. If only Lexus would extend the recall... =(
