Dealers depending on area in US will offer different rates on 350 trade in..
All in all they may offer you maybe 17-20K on it.
....advice---wait till the end of the month...and then haggle them up on the trade in...depends on how long they have had it .

If you plan to get an appraisal today.. You will be low balled at Carmax once they see aftermarket wheels & equipment..

You IS350 trade in value is going to be approx.. $25K (in good oem condition) if your lucky..

Good Luck,

BLITZ_714,
i'm from the 714, too. i am on the hunt, too. i think it is too much for a used car, bro. just buy more time. with just a little negocitation, you can save hundreds or thousands, can you make that much in a day?

my advise is take it easy.

My honest opinion is just buy new. Over the course of a 5-6 year loan you will pay an additional $100 / mo and know that the car was actually taken care of.
