Thanks all, I contacted a person in Chicago that is selling a 50K mile 4.8 2006 for $26K. That seems to be about the right price.

One thing about the car in Cali, when i asked, he was up front about it and sent photos, it does look like it was drivers front end and to me, hard. When he offered to sell it for $23K without asking for the discount, I should have known that it was a bit to good of a deal.

Thanks again for all the help!

If anyone is aware of issues 06 IS's had, let me know.

Mike
