I'm in debate..... should I do this? And I see that an IS350 with ML+Nav is approx. 45k (as it says online). What's the ideal price that should seal the deal. I'm thinking 39.5k Or should I just stick with the IS250 ('07)??

Trade for the IS350C(available in summer) if you want to trade in your 250. The reason I said that because with the convertible you will see less on the street then the 350sedan. . Other than that you can wait for another 2 1/2 years for the third generation. I believe it will be faster and more technology. If you trade for the 350sedan now. You drive it for over couple more years then when you see the next gen of IS you will want to change again! Wells, just some ideas who know what it will looks like but Im for sure it will be stronger...under 5 sec. car. Probably close to IS-F. Tell us what you are thinking. hehe You dont have to listen to my crazy idea. I know it's hard to wait. Btway. have a Happy New Year!
Oh I forgot Im so disappointed with this generation because there are many rattle noise inside the carbin,dash board and both front door( thought lexus supposed to be quiet) I know nothing is perfect but my sister old 2000 Lexus ES wont even make that rattle noise..And the rattle noise when cold weather start up. I know I can bring it to dealer to fix it but they will come back again!

Not sure about the IS convertible. And it's actually IS250c not 350c. I don't think it looks as good as sedan and dealer won't budge on the price for sure. 45k for IS350 is MSRP with nav/ml. You can easily get for 39k right now before ttl if you go with fleet manager. Do a search, there are lots of threads about getting good deals.

The reg sedans look better than the convertible or not is depend on people taste. I think hardtop convertible is very cool and look more expensive. Like the 335i convertible looks a lot better than the reg 335. But the sedan you can get in and out easy and more convience. wells just some thought. Oh yeah trade in for the IS F.. a lot of people here jump from 350 to IS F.

haha, yea i'm thinking about it... i don't know if i'm attracted to the ISx50C. I mean, I admire the idea of a hard-top convertible, (not to mention there's finally a lexus convertible under 66k)..... but it doesn't strike me as aggressive. There's something about the rear of the car (especially when looking at it from a profile perspective) that I don't like. It's a very feminine looking vehicle, BUT... hopefully i'll have a different opinion when i see it in person. Anyways, I've been hearing that some people don't find a noticeable difference between ML and stock...especially in the GS line. I hear the LS is amazing.. but can anyone comment how they like their IS ML..... worth the 7k upgrade?

Traded my 07 250 for a new 08 350 last Feburary for $38k. Couldn't been more happier with my decision. Don't have ML but it doesn't really bother me as the stock system is pretty good IMO.
