Looking at a 2016 IS 300 AWD. Low mileage, 18000, but it’s not CPO from a Lexus dealer. How should I proceed. Found a few others with like 25-30 thousand miles too. Good car still?

Mileage doesn’t matter with Lexus.

I didn’t think so but mind explaining further? Also what about the car itself? Good model in your opinion?

Looking to buy a used car. I think I want a Lexus...any advice as far as year/model I should be looking for?

Brehs, is it overkill to install a separate transmission cooler in a regular commuter compact sedan/wagon?

Lexus(Toyota) is the most reliable car brand so you can go a little higher on the mileage and not have to worry

An older GS would be a good buy. I don’t think the 2006 gen is down that low, you you gotta go w the ones before that. I still like those

Its not. Not sure what year Lexus you getting for $5000. The 2006 IS 200t and IS 300s im looking at not going for anything less than 20,000 unless they have iffy accident and maintenance records.

Edit: 2016 not 2006

Lol I see several Lexuses for around that price with over 100,000 miles.

shyt I see lots of them for under $10,000 as well. With car fax and no accidents.

2006 and above for 5000 though? Thats what i'm saying. Im also only dealing with certified pre owned vehicles. Me personally i'm not buying any vehicle with that many miles on it

Between $5k-$10k.

I hear what you saying but for a Toyota brand luxury car I’m not too worried.

Breh mileage don’t matter with Jap cars.

150k on a Lexus is like 75k on a Ford or Chevy

look at how many older Lexus/Toyota’s you see on the road in 2019
