Buying question 07 vs 08
I have 2 options. Both are same color interoir and exterior. Both AWD with prem package, luxury package, NAV, no ML stereo.
2007 with 10k miles....around $31k..certified by lexus
2008 brand new...about $36k
I will loose 1 yr of warranty and 10k miles of warranty for $5k.
Any reasons not to save the $$$ and go with the 2007???
Thanks,
SJ

LoL!!! I'm not to sure about the coin holder.
But it really depends on what your willing to do financially in the long run. I mean they are both the same and you lose out 1 year of warranty, but how long do you think of keeping the car?! They are pretty much gonna come with the samething(except the coin holder
). So it really depends if you want that new feeling and can afford the $5k extra or are you willing to save yourself the $5k and use it for mods that you can later add on the car.

Also, one other upgrade for 2008 was redesigned front seatbacks for more rear passenger room.

$36k for a brand new '08 AWD IS250 Lux/Nav is a good deal !!
That MSRP's for about 41K over here in NY!!
*If you have the extra money, get the 08' so that way you have piece of mind knowing that no one has driven it but you, and you get the extra year maintenance.
(But there is nothing wrong with the '07 of course).
