Lexus IS 250 RWD, Manual, 158,000 miles, $3,500... talk me out of it?

Lexus IS 250 RWD, Manual, 158,000 miles, $3,500... talk me out of it?

so i need a car and i'm shopping around and this baby is kind of far away, but it looks sexier than the other options at this price point...

my thoughts on it:

- if I want to loan my car to a friend, i'll have to teach them to drive stick
- probly I'll have to replace the clutch at soon-ish, not an easy repair on this car
+ it's RWD, so there should be room in the engine bay to work on the motor easier?
+ it's reliable toyota engineering
+ faster than the other options at this price point

Is this car sought after? seems rare, but doesn't seem super desirable.

so... tell me how i'm wrong!
