^Jeez that was a good deal! it's so hard finding a nice clean IS300 here on the islands. For a price like that. How do you like so far? Is it auto or manual? Stock LSD?
That seems to be a good deal from what I've been seeing. Like I said I'll be aiming for 9,000 but would probably take 8,000 I haven't seen any listed under 8k
a prius?i love it it's AUTO and lucky me has the LSDbut my fiance drives it and gas FTL right now since she drive 130miles a day so she wants to get a pruis now
the is doesnt even get that bad of gas mileage!

Yes it does. The is300 has pretty terrible mpg for its size and power.
10-13k would be about right. imho sport designs can usually command a slightly higher price. you didn't list if it has the nav or not so thats plus a couple hundred if you do.
good luck!
ps. my sportx gets about 21mpg in city driving and i do about 26-27 mpg on the highway. Not the greatest but sure is fun to drive
good luck!

Ya no nav in mine. Basically the only reason I got the sport design was I wanted the full leather seats instead of the suede (sp?) inserts. I might throw it on some different sites for $10k or so and just see what kind of offers I get. I'm going to have to detail the shit out of it though.10-13k would be about right. imho sport designs can usually command a slightly higher price. you didn't list if it has the nav or not so thats plus a couple hundred if you do.

Just curious, is she wanting the Prius primarily for fuel savings, or is she wanting it so she can drive in the HOV lane? I have a business acquaintance who owns a Prius only for the latter reason.i love it it's AUTO and lucky me has the LSD
Re: fuel mileage, I'm sure you've done the math, but fuel savings (at 130 miles per day and $3 fuel) will take about 10 years (literally) to pay the difference required to trade the IS for a new Prius. Spending that money up front so that you can perhaps get it back over 10 years doesn't seem to make sense -- and you're only breaking even at that -- not profiting. (Just in case you are looking for arguments to keep your IS.

IS's are going pretty cheap where I live. I thought about selling mine but they are going so cheap, so I decided to keep mine.
