"Two Ways To Buy A Used Lexus IS 250
At Wholesale Prices!"

The Lexus IS 250 is a head-turning luxury sedan with fun-to-drive performance capabilities. With its smaller engine size, it's not trying to overtake the BMW 328i or the Infiniti G37, but it's an extremely capable handler on those back, twisty roads.

And when you consider its comfort, its available all-wheel-drive (AWD), and its high-quality interior materials, it's definitely a sedan that deserves a strong look.

For those shopping for a nice used luxury sedan, the IS 250 certainly offers a long list of standard features, including all power accessories, a leather interior, ten-way power bucket seats, power sunroof, air conditioning w/dual-zone automatic climate controls, interior air filter, a tilt and telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel with radio controls, cruise control, turn-signals in the exterior mirrors, a trunk pass-through, keyless start, remote keyless entry, universal garage door opener, an AM/FM radio with an in-dash 6-disc CD/MP3 changer, digital-media player connection, automatic day/night rearview mirror, a compass, foglights, automatic headlights, an alarm system, and 17 inch alloy wheels.

The AWD model also adds heated and cooled front seats as a standard feature.

Used Lexus IS 250 models can also be found with optional features such as adaptive cruise control, 18 inch alloy wheels, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, a Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, park assist, heated front seats (on rear-wheel-drive models), driver seat memory, a power rear sunshade.

Used rear-wheel drive IS 250 models can also be found with the optional X Package which adds firmer suspension calibrations, aluminum pedals, 18 inch wheels, and sport-performance tires.

Powering the IS 250 is an athletic 2.5 liter V6 engine that generates 204 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. Used models can also be found with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, although the AWD can only be had with the six-speed automatic.

Safety is also a high priority with Lexus, so there's plenty of standard safety features, including antilock disc brakes (ABS), traction control, stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and daytime running lights.

Some used models can also be found with the optional pre-collision system (PCS). This system automatically stiffens the suspension, retracts the front seatbelts and initializes brake assist when its radar perceives an unavoidable collision.
