Default 2015 IS350, high mileage - good price?

Hey everyone,

In the market for a new (used) car, and have only heard good things about the Lexus IS 350 series.
I've found a car that caught my interest - a 2015 IS 350 AWD for $24,000 CAD.
The only thing is that km's are pretty high for a ~4 year old vehicle. It has 128k km (80k miles).
Is this something I should be worried about? It's no accidents, one owner, service records seem kind of bare though.

Here's the link: https://www.autotrader.ca/a/lexus/is...202B4&sprx=100

The interior has seen better days. Which leads me to think whoever had it did not take care of their car. I mean if you can't keep the seats clean then I don't even want to look at how the car is mechanically.

I also don't understand why anyone would buy a is350 non fsport with barely any options. This is a SMALL entry level sports sedan...and you said no I don't want it to be sporty...then don't buy this car?

garbage. A non fsport, with that mileage and condition should be less. Would you do rear wheel drive? I’ve seen some awesome deals on rwd fsports in Ontario

Thanks for the feedback. I'll stay away from this particular vehicle.
Being in Ontario we get some pretty bad snow days, so AWD would be preferred.

GTA is accessible to me. I've been looking for a while, budget is $25k though so that's probably the limiting factor.
Other than autotrader what are some good sources to check?

kijiji is good. Make sure you set the search location thing to “all of Ontario”.

Isn't that the luxury package? Aside from the "sports" option, it has more options than your average F-Sport? I believe the luxury package included parking sensors, blind spot, memory seats, ventilated seats and power rear sunshade. I also believe you lose fog lights with the F sport.

Geez you'd think the dealership would have at least detailed the interior before posting pictures. Looks terrible!

Not a good price (I own a non F sport) and that interior looks horrendous
