I have been wanting to buy an IS500 for a long time but didn't really need a second car now. A deal came up where I could take on someone's finance. They are asking 35K CAD, plus pay off balance on finance (36K). I'd have to pay the taxes on the purchase also, looking at 71-75K CAD. Would you consider it a good deal?

^^ So just to be clear, you would be paying 71K + taxes? What year is the IS 500 and what mileage?

Well, for what it's worth, I paid about 73k (all fees in) + taxes for a brand new one in 2022 - I am aware the market is always changing but this is barely lower than what I paid for a new one then. I know the 2023s have gone up but if you don't want to spend the money for a new one and this one is mint, then I guess you can go for it but I would try and get it for a bit less if you can.
Just curious - what color combo is it?

suginathan - Yes, 73K Canadian plus taxes. I would agree with you, if the tires are worn out and so are the brakes, plus God only knows how the owner treated his, I would stay away for this price.

LE = Launch Edition, limited to 500 units in North America.
Honestly, I would ask what the miles are on this car. Brakes and tires could be replaced. But, if it's low-mileage and the brakes and tires are already worn... that seems like a red flag. I would probably do a pre-purchase inspection if I were in your shoes.

^^ I agree the OP stated 20 000 Km which is 12 000 miles and seems a bit premature for these to be worn out. I mean if the dealer replaces the brakes/tires for the price asked, then that would be a decent offer IMO but not if the OP must also then have to replace these.

When I traded in my 1 year old LE with close to 20k miles for my '23 IS500. The dealer re-sold it as a CPO however, they replaced all 4 tires & performed front brake job.
