I would stay put in your 250 as it is paid off and will not give you any troubles. As everyone has stated, this economy is terrible and you have current financial freedom from payments. By the way, welcome to La Familia.

if you want to pay an extra couple grand for the 350 sure why not. imo i would go for it cause its not the fact the 250 is slow but the throttle response to me lacks power and feels like it lags.. i can easily move outta traffics way with the 250 and good gas mileage but i like the adrenaline from flooring the 350 cause i'm a spirited driver.

Just keep the car till the next gen comes out if you don't like the next gen you will probably be able to get a great deal on a 2is 350 since they will have to make room for the new 3is.

My car when I first bought it was 36,500 out the door got prem,nav,hid,18' n window tint. It's 2007 Right now it has 4,300 miles on it and excellent condition.i didn't drive that much. Can u guy tell me how much would the dealer take for it. I bought this car because I wanted to save gas by that time i didn't even test drive the 350. i could have bought the 350 because it only 4k range different i got no problem with financial by that time either.
I took my car for a maintained once n i test drove the 350, damn it !my stomach get sick since. I dont care about the gas anymore as long i'm happy of what im driving. Now im not happy wit my car, and too many thing going on my mind. Sorry for all the owners those have 250. I didn't mean anything Im just not happy, and my stomach got sick all the time of thinking over it. hope your guys dont mind give me some more advice. Can you guy answer all my questions. how much is my car cost right now. should i wait for another 2 yrs. I'm just afraid if the new model come out then i'll probably end up with get bore of 2nd gen. Anyways, Do you guy know how much are the IS-F spoiler,sport pedal,fsport wheel or 2008IS liquid gra wheel. Do u guy know how much fsport wheel with tire n tire monitor system.Can your guy give me the price for all those and where to get them cheap.Thanks a bunch.

I would save money, and keep the car, since its paid off. Economy isnt the best right now. The 250 is a pratical car, somewhat underpowered but it manages, and looks identical to the 350.
