hey Scotty I’m looking to sell my Infiniti G37 and buy a 2014 Lexus is350 for 19k with 98k miles is that a good deal? How is the Lexus is350 reliability wise and would I be able to keep it for over 200k miles? Thank you in advance!
yes solid car
Those are awesome cars - very fun to drive and classic Lexus reliability. $19K seems like a little high for that many miles and 7 years old. I would try to knock off a couple thousand dollars to get that closer to $16K. If it's been well taken care it, that car can easily make it to 200K miles.
My friend owns one and he’s never had any issues with it. The mileage on it is around 369,000 km. Lexus IS 350 is awesome.
pretty solid cars that can last and hold it's value quite well!
The IS350 is an excellent choice. You can create an account at Lexus website here (for free), then add the VIN of the car and check the service history yourself (for free!, very easy to get, and obviously without going through dealer):

Even though the IS350 in general is reliable make sure this particular one has had a good service history (I.e. oil changes not neglected). Setting up account above and getting the service history report will tell you that. If there is no history I would walk away. It’s important to make sure at least the engine (and transmission) had their oils changed at proper intervals.
And of course you’d also get a mechanic to check out before you purchase.
