KBB does not have my car listed under USED. It is too new.

I would say no more then $34,500.

One guy sold his IS350 6 months ago for $33k and his had nav and ML.

Why are you selling???

I don't think it'd be much different than an 06. Maybe 500 dollars or so. There isn't really anything other than your x package rims that really warrant any extra value, and even then maybe $500 more at best.

I'd say your looking at a private party resale of $34k - $37k, obviously thousands less for a trade in. But that's just what I think. Market conditions will dictate your price.

But it all depends on your local area, and what else is available.

I've been toying with the idea of selling mine. I've got all options minus PCS radar.

20 k miles. I don't think I'd get more than $34k - $36k. Maybe even less. Although there aren't many 350's for sale in Chicago at the moment.

what are you looking to replace it with???

you may get a dealer to buy from you at a good price. they will sell it as certified used for almost the cost of it new. people do like the extenced warratny if they plan to keep it. i would try this, you have a car that is in good demand.

everything but NAVI and ML? Looks like you have the premium package then added the stuff to create the x-package? Correct me if I'm wrong. So I'm guessing maybe around 33-35K privately. All those other stuff from the x-package doesn't really add much value.

I was screwing around at a BMW dealer looking at 335s and was curious as to what they would give me for trade in on my car-

06 IS350- 10,000 miles, rear spoiler, 18s, heated ventilated seats, and thats about it-

They offered me 28,000-

I am hoping that someone would want all the x-pkg stuff and the color they want due to the x-pkg only comes in three colors. I do have to OE wheels that will go with the car. Considering that IS350 are hard to find and sells for close to full pop. This may be a good deal for someone. No lic. fee and less tax. ;-)

Call me crazy, but I would not let the car go for less than $39,500. There is nothing wrong with the car. It still has the new car smell.

Regardless of how "used" it is, it is still a used car and has been titled.

A dealership can get away with selling a "demo" car with 3-5k miles on it for close to new prices, but a car that has been titled has already had one owner no matter which way you look at it.

You will not be able to sell that car for 39,500 unless you have a naive buyer. You can get a brand new 07 for that price, simlarly equipped.

If you have the original wheels, just sell the x package as is on CL. You'll get more money for them.

$39,500k are you serious?? When you buy new and sell within months of owning it you are going to take a BIG hit on depreciation.

Looks like you are going to keep the car afterall.

So why are you getting rid of it????
