Hey guys! I’m thinking about buying a 2022 Lexus IS 350 with front-end damage. Seller is asking $12,000 and says it’s mostly cosmetic. The car has about 25,000 miles. I don’t have experience with this model — is that a fair deal or a red flag?
Hey! That $12K quote might be a bit on the high side if the damage hasn’t been fixed yet. For reference, take a look at 2022 Lexus IS 350 https://autoconduct.com/vin/JTHGZ1B20N5058434-lexus-is-350-2022/ — it had front-end damage and sold at auction for $9,675. I always recommend using AutoConduct for this kind of research because you can see actual sale prices for similar damaged cars, matched by VIN and condition. It gives you real leverage when negotiating. $9,600 for a car like that makes sense if the impact wasn’t deep. So unless the seller’s car is already fully repaired or has some extras, I’d definitely bring that AutoConduct listing into the conversation before agreeing to anything.
