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.

nice...i have been looking at the new IS250 AWD for a friend. what kind of deal did you get on your is350?

 

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.

 

Good luck with the Lexus....I love the way that car looks! ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

 

They ripped you off. 8500 KBB value? Uhh hell no.

 

8500? i got 13 when i traded my 2k2 in with 68k.

 

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.

 

Good luck with that nice car.

 

Awesome upgrade. Good luck!

 

great car. just wish the I350 came in 6 speed. auto only.

 

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.
