Thanks for the tip Smooth, I hadn't even thought of Auto Trader. I just drove a GS 300 today. I like the ride and plushness more-so now a whole new can of worms I have to research. The GS's seem to be more expensive? Thanks again, Josh

I'm thinking it adds allot of value to the 22K price? Is this wrong thinking? -I agree. The person is very sincere, he pointed out the ABS sensor and noise. I could not hear the noise-he mentioned it. The fact that I feel good about the seller is the main reason I'm considering buying this car at a premium. He did all of the above. The dealership could not find the point of origin in the noise, as it was not doing it when he brought it in. He has offered to fix the ABS sensor, with the above mentioned warrante. I can't remember, there is "suede" on the door arm rests if that helps good to know This is by far the lowest mileage IS300 in the best shape I've seen. He is very honest, he just want's a preimium for the car. I'm trying to avoid getting into the hardcore haggling with him. I'm probably being to nice. This car is clean and in great shape-it just insn't flawless. Couple scratches on back bumper, and side door panel. Stitching in passanger seat is coming undone, there is interior wear and tear on floor mats and carpet. There is a July Lexus dealership diagnostic report from July 07 that passes every thing mechanically save for the aforementioned. There may be better ones out there but not right now in San Francico with 35K miles. Any other input you may have would be much obliged. Thanks for your input, Josh
