And this beyatch is mine.




God I love that.

Ive had a few is3's and all were paid for when I got them, but I financed this one because I have a habit of selling them within a year or so. I've had this one 2 years next month and even though I have considered trading it, I haven't seen anything that catches my eye.

When I get the title next month I'll likely get compelled to spend some cha-ching on it since it's mine and I don't have to worry about it. I can tell you this, it feels different when you pay for it up front versus paying for it over time. This was the first one I have financed and it never felt like mine until this month.

Justin is right, sell it before it depreciates.
Take that big Cha Ching that you get from selling this one and put it down on something bigger and better!!!

Justin727

Yes like an IS350 or even better an ISF

might as well just put a down payment on a LFA and drive it around untill they come looking for you..

Agree^ and agree on the 2nd gen as being a fail!

If you love and enjoy your car....why sell it? Because its going to depreciate....are you kidding me? lol That's the most ridiculous thing I heard.


Oh congrats O.L.T!!! Hope you hold on to it for a bit longer. =)

Toyota has always had silly recalls. Its just since they're the big dog they're spoken about much more and as soon as something comes out its like "OMG" recall.. No different from the days of head gasket recalls, sludge recalls, lower ball joint recalls, brake recalls, etc etc.

Seriously for the sake of the recalls it wouldnt scare me away from buying one.

No, it's a new one, quick fix at the dealer. All car companies have issues, Toyota/Lexus just actually does something about it.

Yeah it won't deppreciate much worse. I wish i caught it last year before the big drop. Now at 5k or so it's pretty much "worth it's money" just to own and drive and not expect a return on. So im gonna drive it.
