IS 350 Purchase Advice
#16
Well this is far from CPO, its 105k miles. Nothing ever gone wrong with it. Everything works, runs perfect, etc. Immaculate interior. Exterior looks like it has 105k miles. Although I did a paint correction just a few months ago. For a 6 yr old black lexus, I'd rate it a 7-8 on a scale of 1-10 only because of some rock chips which any car would have at this point. And a small bump on rear bumper due to someone bumping the back of it with their licsense plate.
Itd be the lowest priced IS350 within 500 miles of me at the moment. And 105k miles is just scratching the surface on the life potential of this car, especially being well maintained. Trans drain and fill, new brakes sitting in my office waiting for install, etc.
Ha, still not sold on the idea but going the opposite direction. Thinking CT hybrid, maybe a Camry hybrid but like the refinement of the CT.
Although fun, the IS just isn't as fast as I'd like my fast /fun car to be. It's kinda just a good looking commuter, but half the mpg id get out of a CT.
Problem Is I want something fast and I'll get bored in a CT. My financial goals don't allow for 2 cars at the moment (or 3 technically but the other my wife drives half the time).

Honestly I would consider it under different circumstances. Finicial goal calls for less $ out the door and electric is not in my can-do abilities right now.
But I agree, was telling someone your story just the other day when we were discussing electric options. Trying to get him to do the same.

Teslas are fast. Nothing to maintain. No gas to buy. I don't think there is a single fluid in them. Minimal amount of moving parts. Far superior moving-parts-design and far less cost of maintenance than any other vehicles to anything else on the road IMO. However... they are ugly as ****. I debated on one before the IS350 and couldn't get over the looks and that stupid iPad looking dash.

Agree with fast, little maintenance, no gas, etc, but thought there's lotsa different monthly subscriptions that you have to pay Tesla...?

Besides electricity? lol No. Its literally the cheapest car i've ever owned in terms of maintenance. Requires no maintenance except brake fluid every 3-4 years. Brakes last over 100k miles. Pretty good for a car that does 0-60 in 3 seconds flat
