Exclamation Looking to buy IS250 AWD...what year?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and it looks like you all are a great group of folks and I wanted to reach out and ask you all a question...

I'm looking to buy a used IS250 AWD for the winter snow here in the midwest and I wanted to know if there are any major differences in the model years?

I'm looking at the 2007-2009 models, but probably leaning more towards the 2007 due to budget constraints. Are there any differences between these model years, and are there certain years that have more issues than others?

Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks again for your input!

07 is good enough. try not to get 06 because i think the first year(06) of the car is not as good as the second year(07). maybe just me. also i really don't like the 09 models because of the look.

Thanks for the input love67! Yeah I've hear that too, so I'm probably going to go with the 2007. Were there any major options changes in the 09 model as well?
