I thought about just buying another IS, but being a single graduate student, it seems way too impractical to own 3 cars in a condo. For those that upgraded to the 3rd generation, do you think it is worth it if I already have a fun to drive car? Btw I have not test drove the new IS.
Wow, that's hardly any miles. I would be inclined to say no too unless you absolutely want a new car and money isn't an issue. Maybe you should consider upgrading to a GS?

There will always be something newer, better and more shiny.

Bad move, unless you're wealthy and like to change cars once the ashtray fills up.

Try selling it yourself. People are looking for good used IS350's and someone will value the low mileage more than the dealer will. Sold my 08 in 1 day on CL for full price, which was $4500 more than dealer offer (which I didn't try to negotiate but probably could have increased a bit).

Yes! I traded my 2011 IS350 AWD and love my new IS350 Fsport. I had owned a total of 4 S2000 in like a 3 year period. I now have an 05 NSX and MR-S! You will love the feeling of the new Lexus. Night and day, compare to the older model. I still love the S2000 by the way!
