+1. Sorry, but there are many much nicer cars you could have bought for $46k. I blew away an IS350 that was trying to pull away going up an on ramp in my FXT. Should have gotten a low mileage BMW 545i, since that's what the new IS350 is trying to look like anyways. Just my .02

The IS350 is a sick ride. My friend picked one up and I drove it. Very nice. Yeah, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Plus, it's Toyota so it'll last forever.

Not everyone wants performance. There comes a time in people's lives where priorities change. Yeah, you can buy a fkn pinto and spend a million on it and make it fast, but why would you? I'm guessing he wanted something luxurious and kinda sporty.

Then why not an S4 or a CPO'd BMW 545i? Both are bigger, more luxurious AND fastAr! Not to mention in the same price bracket.

Great buy. I looked into that but can't afford one. It's nice luxury ride. To the guy who said it sucks. He is just jealous. This is a luxury car not a sports car. Yes you can get an S4 instead but you won't be driving it since it will be in the shop most of the time.

I'm pretty sure reliability had alot to do with his decision. Toyota's track record is way better than BMW and Audi IMO.

If you work in the automotive repair industry you will see the nightmares with European cars as they age. BMW is not as bad but Mercedes, VW and Audi are bottom of the barrel in terms of reliability.

The IS is an awesome car. Definitely another great luxury car from Lexus. Not to mention it looks incredible and is very functional as well.

Haha yeah. My family members have had many headaches and expensive repair bills when it came to fixing stuff. Not at regular intervals either. New **** would pop up every month or so. You'd think if you pay a premium for cars, they'd last. Guess not. :x
