Nice... but I would try to sell it privately to get the most cash. Then put that cash down for a IS350.
Dealers will low ball you on the trade-in. Like what Fizzboy7 said, this is where they make money. They appraise your car for $2000 less than market value and then sell it a little higher than the market value to the next guy. They claim that the need to knock off the value on your car in order to prep and inspect.
My friend traded in her car for $2000 when she can easily have sold it for at least 4-5K. I sold mine privately and got $7000 ... the dealer wanted 5 grand for trade-in.
