Have the same question. Looking at the pic, may have been side damage. The doors appears to be different shades.

11k with an accident on the books?
And it’s a 250?

Absolutely not

I like the look of the IS 250s between 2006-2011. Don’t care for the styling of Lexus cars after that year.

Oh I know, that’s why I didn’t mention the year

But that’s not worth it in any capacity

I might offer ~$4.5-$5k for that one at most

My parents bought me my first car many years ago, so I don't have any experience purchasing cars from a dealer. How would you approach them? That's a pretty significant drop from their asking price.

Good thing about this era is you can email a dealer or call them and just shoot them an offer. I know it’s a significant drop, but accidents supersede perceived reliability; you’ll never really know how damaged a car is/was as a result of an accident. Honestly, if they don’t accept your offer, you might be better for it.

If gas isn't an issue I would look into a 2003-2008 GX or GS imo.. They can be had clean for the same price.

11K Hell nah. Maybe 7 or 8. Are there any options on it? Is there navigation. I see there’s no spoiler. Those wheels are not the factory size and looks like it may have been lowered a bit. so I would check to see if the suspension and ball joints are in good condition.
