2017 Lexus IS200t - Purchase Advice!
Hi everyone!
Hoping to get some advice from you all regarding a 2017 Lexus IS purchase! I’ll post the details below:
2017 Lexus IS200t (F-Sport)
- 12K miles
- $30.5K
- 1 owner (Leased in Florida)
- 6K miles per year
- Sold at auction and brought to another state/dealer
The car is being sold at a Nissan dealer so I have requested to take the car to a Lexus dealer and do a pre-purchase inspection. Anyone have any idea how much this costs btw?
I’m also trading in a 2013 INFINITI G37xS which is being valued at $11.4K
Any advice regarding the purchase/pricing will be great!
Thank you everyone!

I came from a G35 and you'll be downgrading significantly in horsepower with the 200T. I think the IS350s are now in the $30k price range with 10-15k miles on them. Power is comparable with your G37 so you should test drive them both and see how you feel.

I went from a G37S to a 300 RWD (200t) and I’ve been fine. Lol

A second? Oof. 
I haven't driven a 200T/300 RWD but have driven an NX 300 with the same engine. It feels peppy enough. I only noticed the turbo lag when I decided to test out the acceleration on an on-ramp. In more tame driving it seemed fine.

There's lag at times but it's minimal. I did have a little more lag on my 200t compared to the new 300. But it's still not as much as other new cars with turbo engines. My wife used to have a Hyundai and wow, the lag was horrible. The car would stay still for about 2-3 seconds and then go. Especially on-ramp.

The lag is mostly only when you’re at a dead stop. If you’re in motion, the boost is pretty much instant.
