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,

LoL!!! I'm not to sure about the coin holder.Originally Posted by sirkfc
the 08 coin holder makes all the difference....
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.
I saw the coin holder and....is it worth $5k??

Infinity Norwood has a used one and looked at Watertown, Northboro and Chambers for new.

well some people like new cause they can't stand used things... but apparently you aren't that type... so get a used..since there isn't much of a change from the two
Rookie
my 2 cents... go 2007 and use the extra 5k on mods

The AWD rims also got the liquid graphite color? I thought it was only on the RWD's... Originally Posted by Mr2KiEu

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).

If the car is in good shape take the 07! let someone take the deprecation hit for you
Is it from a Lexus dealer? If so you do have an option for the Car to be Certified! You can also get an extended warranty from your local Lexus dealer.
Good Luck!

I actually voted for you to get a new one, but since the 07 only has 10k miles i'd get that. Also, It had everything the new one did as far as the features are concerned.

Go for the 07, save the depreciation loss and you still have an excellent car. 10K miles is nothing!!!!
