2006 Lexus IS350 with 18000 miles. New MSRP was $47K. Got it for a STEAL. Black/Black, Aluminum accents (NO WOOD!) RWD, 306HP V6...paddle shifters, sport tuned suspension, sports package, Mark Levinson Audio system, Nav, push button starter, keyless entry, bluetooth, Sat. radio, heated and cooled sport seats, power EVERYTHING.....its a hoot to drive, handles great and it'll run forever....even when I do get something with a few turbos in it, I'll probably keep this as well. I'll still be lurking.....

Great pickup...I looked at one of these before pulling the trigger on my 996. When I opened the thread I was half expecting to see a 996 TT

I drove my friend's IS350 recently and pretty impressed with the car. It has plenty of power and good handling for a daily car. CONGRATS!
