How much you selling it for?

Why didnt you like the Lexus?

KSpider

Id like to get 33 for it, MSRP of 38,800 invoice is 34 something.
I am willing to look at any reasonable offer.

It just drives a lot differently then audi...It is a little less involved i guess?

kenjimaru

you didn't test drive it before making the purchase?

KSpider

sure i did, twice, but I didnt take it home and drive it for a week. The car is just as nice as it was when i bought it, I just dont have the emotional attachment to the car and how it drives that I thought I would, and that I know I would with another car... unfortunately, there is really no way to realize that in a test drive.

ReLexin

what kind of audi are you interested in????

lil' IS300

Yikes, you're going to take a blow for that. You know the old saying - the moment you drive a new car off the lot...

You must really be in love with Audi. Which model you looking at? We have a black IS350 and a modified Nogaro Blue 2001 S4 (biturbo) in the family.

The S4 has much more feel through the steering wheel and since it's a manual 6-speed, it's much more involved. Also the suspension is much tighter and doesn't absorb all the bumps as nicely as the 350.

The 350 on the other hand is like a cruise missle. You can chill without worrying about changing gears, it cushions over bumps and has a pretty soft suspension. But the engine is still puts out a lot of power. Enough to turn a cruiser into a rear tire eating machine if you push it in first.

I wouldn't trade my S4 for a 350 though. But based on who's using this username (little brother owns a 350 and posts here) you'll get a different opinion haha

Understandable, When i was in the process of purchasing I was split between a BMW 330 and the IS350. I've never drivin a BMW and when i did, i could see why it's refered to as a "drivers car", you feel the road. A lexus has more of a floaty feel/suspension. I've got a IS350, But everytime i see a 330 i always wonder, what if i wouldv'e gotten that car....

I am just glad the 335 wasn't out when I was looking because I doubt I would have been able to make up my mind.

S4 all the way, wanted one for 3 years, got the lexus because I was going to wait until the new S4s came to shore in about 18 months. Ill be happy with leasing a 05 or 06 S4 for about the same payments as my Is250...
I have owned a TT 180 Coupe, A4 3.0 and still own a TT 3.2 Roadster.
test drove the 335 as well, liked the drive much better then the IS, but i cant stand their interiors, and their pricing.

I found a loophole, someone is interested in taking over my lease on my IS, however, lexus doesnt allow lease transfer within first 60 days. However, using leasecompare.com they would buy my car from lexus, and lease the car to him, i can make his payment the same as just transferring the lease at only about a 4K loss... not TOO bad...

kensteele

just curious, how old are you and how many cars have you owned (i.e. has something like this happened to you before)?

it's just a car so i guess you gotta be happy in the end....even if it costs you a little.

You should just park your Lexus for a few days each month and take public transportation or rent a car. That way you can still drive a Lexus, but you'll get the Audi ownership experience.

A friend of mine has an A6 w/the 4.2 engine...what a POS. CONSTANTLY something wrong with that car.

ReLexin

my friend has a A6 man you hit the nail on the head POS!!!!!! I can't think of anything that has not gone wrong with the car
