Default HELP! Should I buy a 2014 is250 with 130k miles?









Help!!! Should I buy this 2014 is250 Fsport with 130k miles? The guy is the second owner but since 2015 and has every single record down to the tires and oil changes since then. Super stock and only was driven to work and back highway miles. He wants 16k. Is this reasonable?

Personally, I find the 2014 IS250 underpowered, so I held out for the right IS350 to come along. You owe it to yourself to test drive the 350. It’s your money. If you still love the car, then do it.

16K is a couple hundred short on the trade in value of my IS300AWD FS with the 3.5L V6 and half the miles. (and a tune away from having 350+ power) so I'd say no.

Nobody here is going to give you the "right" answer.

The fact that it's a 250, you'll have 350 owners say get a 350 instead... Yet spending more in gas will not be mentioned.
Not one person asked where are you located to find out the market value of the car.

Here's a 2015 IS 250 F Sport in Quebec, for $20K CAD and it has 30,000 miles less than the one you're looking at.

My personal opinion, $21k CAD (16K USD) for a car with over 200,000 km (130k miles) and that's 10 years old is ridiculous.
