Well guys I traded in my 06 350 earlier this month cause I just couldn't afford it anymore . After 4 months of trying to delay the inevitable I finally had to get rid of it, boy did I ever lose my *** 10K Negative just hurts. I didn't think that there would be such a difference in pay for the same job, I'm in the military so no pay difference for me but the wife lost $8 an hour for the same job. The car I ended up getting in replace of the Lex is a Mazda Speed6, the car is OK but its just not the same. But on a lighter note the countdown has begun, Sep 18 2010 < 30th birthday I will own an IS500 or what ever it will be called by then. Well it has been fun, I won't disappear but obviously won't have very much to post about anymore.

Sucks to hear man. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I am starting to see my dream of owning an IS starting to fade away also. But I am still holding on.. have to see how the new year comes along.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It's just a car don't worry. I bet next time you'll get the IS-F.

I feel your pain. A few years back, my wife bought a brand new Eclipse. Shortly thereafter, she was pregnant. After only a little over 1 year with the car, the baby was here and we needed a bigger vehicle, so we traded it in for a Quest. Took approx. same 10k hit that you took on the trade-in.

... and just don't praise the Mazda over the Lexus then I'm sure you would be fine.

Sorry for your loss, man. Look on the bright side.

Leased a VW Bug Sport for the wife and 3 months later she was pregnant with the 3rd and only 2 seat belts in the back. Turned in a 3 year lease with 13k on it. Cheaper to finish out the lease then deal with the negative equity.

Well that will never happen on here. But on that forum do you know how hard it is not praise the Lexus over the Mazda especially when there are reliability or "what should Mazda have add" threads.

Lord for give me

Sorry to hear that you had to give up your beloved IS350. At least you chose a Mazda 6, they are nice cars too. Don't be a stranger you can still hand around here and keep up with things, like the new IS-F.

A car is a car ---------- not that important -------------

I just want to say thanks for your patriotic duty.

Aloha from a fellow (Viet Nam) Veteran,
