Any Opinions On......................

what would be a realistic price to pay for a 63 plate (December 2013) IS300h Premier

I have one in mind at the moment, one owner, immaculate, less than 5000 miles, but I am wondering what you folks might reckon would be a fair price to pay for it.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of Premier editions about and, apart from Autotrader and the local Lexus Dealership sites, I am wondering if there are other useful sources to look at.

The other route that I could go would be for a used Luxury where the previous owner had many of the extra options fitted but, even then there would be things that only the Premier would give.

As usual, your thoughts and input is always most gratefully received. Thank you.

Edit

I think that i may have answered my own question by going here :-

£29-30k from a dealer, £28k private.

Thanks you, pleased to hear you say that, right on the money!

You could also get a Lux with Premium Nav and Leather + heat/cool/memory seats for around £25k.

Thanks for this, have you spotted anything specific and if so where,

here is one example, higher mileage but newer.:

Just use the used car section on www.lexus.co.uk. Select just the Luxury grade, and sort the results by price. The site doesn't give clear information on what seats are included, either optional heated leather or the option on the optional heat/cool/memory leather. When looking at the pictures try and spot the heated seat buttons in front of the gear lever - you want the split two buttons for heat/cool rather than just a large single button for heat.

Very helpful once again, thank you. Do you happen to have any iknowledge on purchasing a spacesaver wheel to chuck in the boot? Thanks again.
