How many miles do you typically drive in a year? I say go for it (and definitely get it over the IS350 you mentioned. Just keep up with the maintenance on it and it'll be good to go. Now, if you drive 20K+ per year you might want to skip it especially if you are not planning to keep it for at least 5 years if not longer. If you go to sell or trade a car, even an IS-F, for 140K miles, that's going to be tough.

for 30k you could get a 6x,xxx mile one.. but if everything checks out good then its not a bad deal.

I got mine with 75k miles on it for $35k.... and its not in the best condition, but it was the cheapest I could find earlier this year. The car now has 82k miles and it still runs like a champ.

Mine has 95k on it and knock on wood has been great. That amount of miles should not scare you away IMO.

Someone in Tampa traded in an ISF with 79k to a local Nissan dealer for the GTR...they sold it for 29k, Bought my 08 @ 22k miles for 36k location and color are big factors. When the new generation come out I would expect 08s wth 70k or so to be around 25k in good condition.

I have a problem on buying cars with over 50k that are over 30k. Now for a lexus, I would spend the exra money to get lower mileage. Good luck!

If that was the black one that was sold a couple days ago I was looking at that, then I called the next day and sold it :/

Also there was a repo F had 32k miles for $28.9 I was going to leave Chicago and fly out there that day to get it but it sold less then an hour after putting it online lol
