Not arguing funds, but more the class of car and what they cost.

Really who drives 5k a year!? That's crazy. Why lease / buy a car if you don't drive it. Im at 28,300 and my car is 22 months old. I love her. Just wish she was faster. If that stillen kit comes out and makes us in the plus 100 who range. I'd buy it.

Actually I made a deposit on 2016 IS350 f sport but I don't know if it will arrive on time. I need a car after two weeks and the dealer have good deals on the RCF and I am tempted. We are blessed by having two kids (10 and 3 months) and it will be hard to convince my wife.

Nope. I'm past the point in my life where a coupe makes any sense for me. And I think the IS is much nicer looking, I haven't been a huge fan of the RCs since they came out unless it's an F.

Another vote for JoeZ

I absolutely love mine. I have a greddy intake and its loud when I need it to be and just enough sound that people know Im modded when I dont want all the noise. I love it. JoeZ product is top notch and high quality in all aspects. It doesn't disappoint

NOW I need to make mine louder by adding PPE Headers!!.

Don't get me wrong, I really do like my 3is it's just they threw this deal out so I figured I would see what some of your inputs are

I traded a 2014 IS250 F-Sport in March for an RC F on a great deal in S.FL. I also have a 2015 IS350 F-sport and I can tell you the RC F is on a completely different level performance wise. Have you driven the car yet?

Also, I wasn't even considering the RC350.

The IS definitely needs more power, but it drives like a dream.
My current situation...
2014 IS350 RWD.

To trade for:
2015 435i Coupe
2015 435i Gran Coupe
ISF
Other Choices?

Opinions highly appreciated

I know it's crazy but I actually haven't had a chance to drive the rcf, the nearest dealer is couple of hours away so I figured if I can't get the numbers I want first then I won't worry about the car.

Well to give you an idea, the RC F(with $0 out of pocket) is 2x the payment of an IS350, some guys I've met are paying much more than that. My advice, get a few dealers involved as you shop around and ask them to share all the numbers with you(MF, Fees, Sale Price, Residual, etc.). The sale price is key, given your credit is good, so get that as low as possible. Good luck and happy hunting!
