Lexus IS 300 2003-2005

[eranoitckik]

Anyone have this car?

Im looking to buy a used IS300 but Im concerned about the reliability of the car.

I see them going for about 9-13k with 75-120K miles.

Im thinking about getting one with about 13K miles for about $11,000.00 anyone buy a used one before , for how much?

.. still runs like the day i got it.

Very very reliable car. Bought mine used a year ago and have had no problems whatsoever. Gas mileage does suck though...

scheduled maintenance.. those were the only times my car has seen the shop.. i do know that certain repairs can be expensive if you go to Lexus.. go to Toyota or a local shop & you will save a good ammt of $.

Make sure the timing belt, water pump, accessory belts, etc. is either already done or make sure to get it done by 80k miles. The car is a breeze to own, the only thing that's a pain is changing the spark plugs. Sounds like a good deal for that price with that little miles. Just make sure it's not salvage, etc. You should still consider the timing belt, etc. despite the amount of miles because age also plays a role.

Only real big issue with the car.

I've owned 2 and have no regrets.
