I just needed a place to vent and blow off steam. I have been actively looking for the IS 350 C ( or maybe even the 250 C ) for a couple months now. I thought Covid -19 would make finding what I want at the price I wanted, a breeze but its been anything but that.. I expanded my search to Nationwide and these cars are being bought as quickly as I can find them. I am just feeling a little defeated having missed out on 3 cars I checked on in the past two days. I am gonna give myself the weekend and start
looking again on Monday bc I am overwhelmed and disappointed.. used car shopping sucks!! .. thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Keep looking.. you'll eventually find one. I'm kinda interested to know what the 350's are going for on the used market... What's ur budget for one? My 2014 350c has 36K miles on and is fully loaded including the elusive radar cruise control. I paid close to 60K for it and wouldn't even dream of letting it go for under 40K, even though it's no longer technically worth that amount. KBB says it's worth 28-31K in "excellent" condition. LOL..

Admittedly I am kinda stuck on 1 owner, no accidents in a specific interior/exterior colors..so I have realized something is gonna have to give if I want this vehicle. Thanks for the encouragement.. I guess a few more weeks/months won’t matter since I’ve been searching this long. Right after Covid hit, The experts said wait til June/July to buy since used car sales would be down due to the economy.. BOY were they wrong...
You’ll get whatever you’re asking if you decide to sell. The market for your car is on fire!

Lexus US website does not make the search easy by limiting to 200 miles from the obligatory zip code. The UK equivalent does give the option of nationwide.
Not exactly down the road from you but there's a nice 350 with reasonable mileage up for sale in Sarasota
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...334_isFeatured
The asking price is a bit toppy and the color scheme is a matter of taste.
The 350 must be great to drive but here in the UK we only got the 250 which for normal driving is no slouch.

I am looking as well. Target is a Luxes IS 350C with the F package. Found this one which looks good; a little high on the mileage...

I feel your pain! I have been looking for a year, and so far no luck.
I sold my SC 430 last year and have been looking for a clean. preferably white, low mileage ISC. I have been tempted to jump ship and consider BMW or Mercedes,
but Lexus quality/dependability has me in it's firm grip. I'll keep looking..

I had a guy stop me in Home Depot parking lot in the rain to offer me $12K for my '11 IS250C. I told him I appreciate the offer but I just can't do it as these cars are very hard to find and I have just about 49K mileage.

Darn-it, that red is the car my wife wanted. She settled for a nebula gray with saddle interior. Red with saddle wasn’t produced, according to my 5 time Lexus salesman, but then he happened to have a line on the one he sold her.
Are all the dashboards and consoles black, regardless of exterior and seat colors?
