Hey guys, The red Prestige ended up selling. However I have come across this F Sport. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Lexus-IS350-2011/OAG-AD-12477213/?Cr=8 I have test driven it and it is very nice. I have managed to negotiate this dealer down to $33k but I think I can get them close to $31k as they have been calling me a couple of times so I think they might be desperate to sell. Besides the firmer suspension i really do like it. What do you guys think and for value, kms ect?

Does anyone know with the IS350 is there any mechanical/electrical differences between 2010 - 2013 models?

Fair enough. I actually test drove the red IS 350 today and must say I was wowed! What a great car. Couldn't fault it. Awesome power Smooth as Super comfortable Handling direct Dealer was happy for me to take the car home but I declined. This is Lexus of Chatswood, really good service I must say. He won't be able to meet me at $30k but he knows I want it. It's been there for 3 months. I'm just gonna wait for him to call me.

I know this is slightly off topic but what do you think of this GS300 below? https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Lexus-GS300-2005/OAG-AD-12213962 I know it's slower, bigger (Roomier inside) and older then the IS350 but they are cheaper and still decent performance with the same or even more features. Can anyone give me their thoughts on this because I think they are great value considering it was once worth $110k brand new!!

This is even a better example. https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Lexus-IS350-2011/OAG-AD-12400994 1 year newer, Sports Luxury and lower kms! Only catch is I am in Sydney and the car is in Adelaide...I dunno why we have to get ripped harder in Sydney!

Thanks for that Tony. I'm surprised the Dealer doesn't even really want to meet at $30k considering your research, but I guess that's dealers always wanting to get the best price possible of course. Does anyone know of a link or a friend that has a Subaru Liberty GT Premium and done a direct comparison?

Hi all, I am new to this forum and I need your urgent help. I am currently under negotiations with this Lexus Chatswood dealer. For the below Lexus IS 350 Prestige 2010 model. http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/2010-Lexus-IS350-Prestige-GSE21R/OAG-AD-12340155 I am trying to push him down to $30k as this is my absolute limit and I think is a fair deal. I think for the year model,condition and kms from what I can see in the pictures looks pretty good. (I have not test driven the car as of yet.) I also currently drive and own a 2001 VW Bora V5 semi-auto with 121000kms in which I would like to trade in, I'm thinking I'll get between $1-$2k if lucky. What I wanted to know is the following. 1 - Do you think especially if I can get this for $30k it is good value? 2 - When I test drive it what should I look out for specifically? (The dealer has advised me it has been serviced at Lexus the whole time and recently just serviced as well) 3 - Is there anything else I should look out for in this car or that I should know of? 4 - Also I understand this model has gone through a few updates and facelifts, is this the latest version of this before the completely new looking shape? Can someone please shed some light on this and explain the various updates and when they took place. 5 - Also how would you rate this Lexus between say a Subaru Liberty 2013 GT Premium in regards to comfort, performance, efficieny, handling, Luxury ect - as I am also considering this as a direct comparison (Don't like Euros as they break down and maintenance too much) I know it is a lot to task! However your quick response will be greatly appreciated. :)
