On the fence about this 2013 IS 350C
2013 IS 350C with F-Sport package in Ultrasonic Blue Mica - listed at $22,377
Intuitive Parking Assist & HIDs
65k miles
2 owners
Owned in hot, dry climates
Started off as a dealer loaner for 4 years/46k miles - during that time, got regular maintenance at the dealer
After that, maintenance gets a bit more spotty. 58k mile service at the dealer, customer declined to replace spark plugs, but not much else
Accident with damage to the rear and passenger side panel, but no other information
The accident makes me nervous, but I do intend on getting a PPI. I was looking at another IS 350C where there were maintenance notes that a rear tire was wearing unevenly after a minor accident, so I'm paranoid. I do like the Ultrasonic Blue, though...don't seem to be too many around. It's being sold by a dealer and I have not asked for an OTD price yet as I am out of state - so I'll have to factor in the cost of transport as well. What do you all think? Pass because the unknowns, even with a PPI, and wait for a cleaner example?

Very hard to find color 350 and F sport. I actually did a FaceTime with someone in Dallas on a car just like that. It had some scratches on the hood and no navigation. We ended up buying a different one. It was private seller and very nice. We live in Atlanta and decided to buy local. Good luck. Their are places like wreck check that can look at it
