Just got the '06 IS 350 silver, 18'' wheels, spoiler and now I want more. I enjoy this car enough to trade up. The opportunity for a '07 same car but w/ nav came up at the same dealer, but they want at least $5,300 I understand that you can turn off TC in the '07 and it has a shark fin. Really not much different. Yet the instrument pannel in middle is ugly on the '06. I guess it just boils down to how much I want to fork over. If it had sport package and ISP/spyder wheels then it would be a no brainer.

 

you can turn off TC in the '06 too..but no button to turn off vdim..what instrument panel in the 06? it's the same as 07.

 

Not worth it in my opinion.

 

What? Thats totally worth it? I would do it right away. $3500 to trade your car in for a NEW car that also has Nav. The nav is $2500.

SO really its only 1K and you get a year newer car? That sounds like a steal

 

Just got an updated price difference from the dealer. The '07 also has HID lights and rear camera/bluetooth. Also they want to charge me for the trailer fee for the '06($850) I got just one week ago.. So the total now is $5300 Thet are trying to recoup some $$$ since they know they can sell that '07 once it hits the door.

 

Also keep in mind that some of that $3,500 you will get back in resale value for a car that is one model year newer.

 

what's a trailer fee?

 

I think destination

I would say.... if its $5300 out the door, I would do it. If you want navigation

Look at it this way...
$2550 - Nav
$900 - HIDs

Thats 3450, so its only $1850 to get a brand new 07.

Hell, I am spending 8500. I sold my old IS for 33000. And I ordered a new one for 40+tax and tags = 41500

I went to the dealer to see what I could get on a trade, they offered 31000....

What were they offering to you for your car as a trade? And what was the price of their car. If you dont want to discuss it in public, IM Me.

 

I believe a MSRP of 42k. I think I will do it. It will be more of what I want. This car has a way of making you want more.

 

good choice, If you want it go for it. Just make sure its not much more than that $5300

 

Just out of curiousity, how long ago did you buy your 06?

 

uno wek ago. They are basically giving me what I paid. Also going to get spoiler installed, so maybe 350 bucks additional, but hey you only live once and I sold my vette for this car so I deserve it....right? Once I get the options from the factory I want I'll let the MODS BEGIN

and WTF is that description under my username, I am a noob, but not just any noob...eh?

 

I believe he means the dash without nav. In my opinion, getting a luxury car like this without nav is pointless.

 

OUch a week ago. Well better trade it in now, to get the most money out of it!
