I'm outta here .... thanks for the info!

Traded my 2003 SE in on a 2006 IS350 Friday. Hopefully it will get here in the next 3-4 weeks. 306hp gotta luvvvv the power!
Anyway thanks for the info tidbits over the last 3 years there are some knowledgeable individuals out there. Best of luck to you all!
Oh...I've also got a pair of uncracked used fog lights that I bought but never installed, new $154 each I'd like $200 for them and I'll cover shipping.
Ping me off list if one of you wants them or I'll throw them on eBay in a few days.

Thanks again.

Brian

They barely moved off of sticker. Around here they 350's are selling as fast as they can get them. However, they gave me $12.5 on my 2003 SE with cloth and 57K miles when KBB is approx $8500-$8700 so I was good with the deal.

My error....KBB trade-in value in CO is $10K-$10.8K.
I had the car for sale out here for 2 months at $13999.00 and got no offers even though KBB said private party price should be $13.3-$14.3 so getting $12.5K with no flaky buyer issues was good by me.

Fog lights are now down to $150 + shipping.

Go drive one, 6 speed auto with paddle shift.
Even in "D" when you let off of the throttle it feels like a manual tranny slowing the car down.
