I'd upgrade. Good luck.

I would strongly suggest a replacement Lexus. I'm glad your IS took care of you.

I recommend the general opinion too. Get rid of it and pick up a replacement. I personally asked for my previous car to be written off rather than fix it and keep it since I know the value on it would go down dramatically if I ever want to resell

If you are bored with it then get something else. I wouldn't get a 2014 IS250 because you'll be bored with it shortly, too. It sounds like you want something with more juice. BTW, 2008 doesn't make it an obsolete car, and 85k miles is nothing.

Yes, more juice is what I want. Plus, I drove a few newer models recently with automatic transmission and I actually liked the ease of driving without having manually shift... When commuting to work in Houston traffic this would be a great feature, but during weekends I'd need a stick (not to sound gay lol)

For now I'll be driving my good old Lexus 2000 RX 300

Trade it in for IS-F and let someone else worry about this wreck.

I would fix it, customize it... I recently got into a accident and thats what i did, front end though. I love my car and color. I purchased my car for $22,000 + taxes and i put $10,000 down and didn't want a 40,000 dollar loan

bro, i would upgrade, or depending on how much insurance will give you, given you have the choice to buy it back. You can always part out
