Default IS 250 awd

I'm looking purchase a 250 w/in the week. However are looking at leftover 06's. Are there any differences in the 06's and 07's? Also, I was looking at the prices in the new members area but couldnt really come up with an answer. What do you think is a great deal on the 250 awd w/navi/ML/18's? I was quoted at 36,9xx$ w/out ttl's.

One more question, is the hids really hids? I ask this because when I see the IS, it doesnt look like the bluish color however, just the yellowish tint. Can someone help and clarify this for me? thanks

They don't look like HIDs because they aren't. You have the base halogens. To get HIDs on the 2006 models you needed luxury or sport packages.

Well, I didnt buy the car yet. I'm still searching for an IS. SO which package should I get exactly for the navi and the hids? is it actually called the luxury package?

also its not easy to get the ML package here in new jersey. those were usually special ordered if im correct. ML package is nice since youd be able to play movie dvd's but like i said a special order which meant months of waiting. also you're asking for 18's which awd doesnt come with. only the 17's are available with the awd 250's. good luck

Really? I had no idea. Thanks a lot.
Which dealership did you go to? and if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay? You can PM me if you dont mind.

I was looking at Ray Catena and they seemed pretty friendly.

Is this only offered on certain models? Like the 250 awd and 350?
