Not a bad car, but god damn that should've been $15-20k tops instead. I suppose you'd lose the n/a appeal, but a 330i/Giulia 2.0T/Q50 3.0T in that range would have the same mileage, same year if not newer, be nearly or at least as reliable at this point even being turbocharged, and would all wipe the floor against the IS350 from a performance standpoint despite some of these being the "base" models meant to compete with the IS200.
For what you paid, and being 6'+, I'd have bought a B58-powered 540i and thrown a tune at it. Maybe even a newer Giulia with the sport package (LSD+adaptive damping), much lower mileage, and a warranty if you can fit in it. FWIW the B58 is also already a proven rock-solid motor with multiple examples above 200k miles with no issues, so the oft-repeated "Toyota reliability" isn't an excuse to shy away from zee Germans in this case.
>tl;dr good jack of all trade car, not terrible in any metric, but you paid the Toyota tax

It's a nice color, it'll last until you get bored of it, and it might even hold it's value for a few more years, I'll give it that much. I'm sure you'll enjoy it regardless even if I do think you got hosed on the price (see picrel, I consider these 'comparable'), that's pretty much my only gripe.
