Want to buy another is350
so as some of u saw in my last thread while back i totaled my is350..well the insurance paid my car off and i got 9Gs in the pocket..i wanna get the 08 is350 hopefully before next summer but my pops told me i should wait out til next fall for the 09s cuz he wants to buy a 09LS460..my question is should i wait? will we really get a crazy deal? i bought my 07 for 1,500 above invoice...will the dealer go below invoice for both cars?

Chances of getting a crazy deal with Lexus is remote.
Get an '08 when you want and can,IMO.
The '09's will be the same and most likely will cost more.
Driving a '98 Camry after a IS350 has got to be rough.

Man, you guys are really giving some bad advice here.
Given this guy's potential insurance premium, that 98 Camry might be exactly what he needs to be driving for a while, as he tries to get his cost down with a few years of incident free driving...
I drove a 91 Acura Legend from 97 to 05. It was great, with low depreciation, still enough power, and reliable as can be. I still have it because it still drives great after 145K miles and is worth more to me than the bluebook value.
In any case, if your dad really wants to treat you to another car, why not try another flavor now that you've had the IS? New A4? I'm really liking the way the new Caddy CTS looks too.
