Should I trade my Tungsten Pearl is250 AWD w/67k for a Black is350 w/ sport package and ML audio. It has 59k odo. I live in WA. Not sure if i need AWD or not. The 250 is a gas hog due to AWD. But 350 has a bigger motor so is the MPG the same?

Mpg not that far off it's your driving habit that make the difference. I say trade I live in the northeast and made the trade. I'm alot happier with the 350 and snow tires.

We need more deatails...

Even trade???
Dealer or private??


Personally id rather have 100 extra HP, a better stereo and the sport package etc... but im biased...

I average about 22mpg in my 350

Yeah I'm thinking about it hard. There's no major different just the engine right?

A dealer trade. They want the $24k for the 350.

well thats the biggest diff. besides AWD... the sport package is really nice though, after owning one with SP its hard to imagine driving one without.

how much they giving you for yours??

you need to figure out if the payment/difference is worth it to you.... honestly if i was gonna trade in an 06-07 with the dealer id be looking at an '11 350 F-sport

beside the pedals what else does sport package have?

I also live in WA and love the AWD. Even though we don't get much snow here in puget sound, I would prefer the AWD. It has helped me get to work without any problems during the snowy days in the past 3 years.

Sport is the best package ever offered on the 2IS IMHO... has all just about all the good stuff from the luxury package (memory seats, vented/heated seats, rain-sensing wipers, HIDs with AFS, auto-dim and auto-tilt side mirrros, 18" wheels, power tilt/steering, etc) plus the sport pedals and, most importantly, the sport suspension.


This is a no-brainer trade in my opinion... and apart from climbing mountains the RWD with snow tires will drive circles around an AWD car with all-seasons in the snow (which is what 99% of AWD drivers just leave on their cars), and again with summer tires vs. all seasons in all other weather.

I traded the is250 awd for an 06 is350 sport package with 33k miles. I hope I made the right move. Winter is just around the corner. Also they came with staggered 18" Team Leon Hart wheels. With that said anyone in the Pacific Northwest want to trade? I want some F sport wheels.
Here's a pic:

What's the name of the color for my car? Does anyone know what they call it? Also how do I know if I have rain sensing wipers? Sorry for the million ?'s.

350 ftw!!!

I agree...its a lot quicker than the AWD. I'm gonna miss my GFX lip kit that was on the 250.
