Hello,

I had my 2004 corolla for 10 years, and yesterday AAA announced my car to be total. I should be getting around 5k-6k for it, which would be me down payment
I'm looking to stay with the Toyota family and upgrade to an IS250 F Sport.

Here is my dilemma,
2014 or 2015 model with around 20k-25k miles for $25k to $28k
or
new 2016 is250 F Sport MSRP 44205 for $34416? Is this a good deal given 2017 face lift?

What's the better deal?

Thanks,
Calvin

Ehh.. for 14-15 the IS comes in either a IS250 or IS350.

For 16-17, the IS250 is replaced buy the IS200t.

So it depends if you want a straight V6 or a 4 banger turbo.. I would go for the 2016 tho, because looks like you are getting 10k off MSRP? thats pretty good.

However, the 2017 does offer a larger screen, and LSS+ as standard. Plus some other minor adjustments.

14-15 is for is250

Yes, I just wanted to clarify that for 2016, the IS250 is replaced buy the IS200t. DIfferent engines..

IS250 = V6 206 HP
IS200t = i4 turbo 241 HP

Yes thank you, I am exchanging text with someone from the dealership. Don't know why they told me 2016 is an is250.
But I am aware of the engine difference

Lol, guys a moron of a saleman. Where are you located in CA? If you're in NorCAL, I can refer you to the guy that sold me my car. Gave me a pretty nice discount.

I'm from San Francisco, and I'm currently looking at a 2016 white is200t f sport with black interior

if he can offer even better discount or package for 34.5k that would be awesome.

thanks
