Default Looking to buy (need advice) - IS 350 2014

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a preowned 2014 Lexus IS 350. I found one with 10,200 miles on it in starfire pearl. looks like it comes with everything except the mark levinson audio.

Could anyone help with what I should be paying for this car? they have it priced at $42,100 now.

Is this a good deal?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have some more info on the model and equipment (IE: F-Sport/Luxury, awd)? I would offer $37k and cap $39.5k as 40k it the cheapest price I've seen on the Northeast for an AWD IS350 F-sport w/o the Lev sound system with under 10k miles

Mine is a lease but to give you an insight, I got the selling price down to $44k for a fully loaded 2014 IS350 F Sport that's brand new and has less than 100 miles on it. That's not even the best deal out there, it's like average.

So $42k is high, but there is always room for negotiation. GL

NADA clean retail is right around $43k - I was surprised at that because we got ours with Nav/BSM/ML almost a year ago for less than $41k (incl 1800 in rebates).

I think if you wait a bit, they will take your $40k offer. Keep in mind though, with the 2016s just around the corner, there will be some killer deals on the 2015s. You might be able to get a new 2015 similarly equipped for not much more than the 2014.

Good luck shopping!

Are you sure it's an F Sport? You cannot get the F Sport in Starfire Pearl, with the Luxury and Premium packages.

As a former BMW owner, I can tell you with confidence that you will love the dependability of the F Sport.Just get it and start having fun!
