Hi
I m planning to get a is250, but I wanna wait for the 2016MY and see what will change and how much is it. So I hv a little question. If the 2016MY come out, r they still gonna sell the 2015MY is250 until the end of this years? Because I don't wanna buy the new one if they didn't change the engine, so then I can get a cheaper one. Btw I m living at Bay Area

I think you'll still be able to find some IS 250's remaining on lots come December '15, but the cars having the most popular options will be sold earliest, leaving a dwindling number of lesser-optioned cars and less-popular color choices that people passed over.

I think the new model year will likely be announced no later than August and start hitting dealer lots around late October to early November.

Although a new IS 200t is highly anticipated by most, I suspect a new turbo engine offering might actually cause a run on the last remaining V6 IS 250's as they may be seen by some as more reliable and will likely be sold at extra hefty discounts so dealers can clear their lots. That would be a great time to buy a 250 I would think.

I doubt the new 4-cyl turbo engine will make the new IS 200t significantly cheaper than an IS 250. I'd bet the other way around, actually, that the outgoing IS 250's will be cheaper than the incoming IS 200t.
