Should i buy it or no?, Seems like a good deal Options

[Serhey]

I am currently saving up for an is300, ive browsed a lot, and i dont have enough for one yet, however i do have enough for this one...

clicky

he's agreed on 4k without the fancy rims, which i dont even like to begin with, i would just buy stock ones off craigslist
i know a guy who paints cars and does body work, he estimated my celica which had like 4 rust spots, rust at bottom of doors, a dent in a quarter panel which had to be cut out and replaced and several other dings, he said to repair all that and put on 2 layers of factory quality coats, and 2 layers of clear coats would cost 15 hundred, this has what i think much less work, but i might want a different color though.
if its mechanically alright, all i need is body work paint and new wheels, i think i could fit under 6 k when im done
should i buy it what do you think?

If you can afford it, I say go for it. Mine was essentially the same deal. It had 110,000 miles when the others I was looking at only had 75,000, but mine was $3,000 cheaper and 200 miles closer than any of the other ones. I would have preferred to have lower mileage, but for the cost and the risk of driving that far for a car that hadn't been taken care of, I didn't think I could go wrong. My only complaint of the IS is that it's too much Lexus. The automatic has traction control and stability control. Shut the traction control off to have some fun, and the stability control kicks in and keeps you from doing anything. Which is good considering it will keep you from chewing through tires. And I know you and I have the issue of snow in the winter. During the summer, I'd much rather have a manual IS, but the first snow we have, I'll be grateful for all the electronic stuff keeping me from losing control.
