Hey everyone,

I have a 2007 is250 base model. I am torn right now between picking up a 2011 is250 F-sport, or waiting until the 2012's come out. I'm afraid that 2012 will have a fairly major revision. If the major revision isn't going to come until 2013 I will probably just go ahead and pick up the 2011. Does anyone have any good advice?

 

The expectation is that the 3rd gen IS will be a 2013 model available in fall of 2012.

If you're planning to upgrade why wouldn't you get a 350?

 

This is a good blog. Especially number 5 or picture #7.

wait for 3IS....

 

I would wait for the 3IS...

 

Either you get the 2011, or wait.

 

get a 350 or an F , y would u want to up grade to 250 lolz power wise is the same lolz..

 

I'm thinking I might be better off to do both. Pickup the 2011 is250 pay it off quick then in 3 years catch the 2015 350 model.
One of the major reasons I'm wanting to upgrade is to get the navigation system. My windshield mount one is driving me out of my mind.

 

you can always get flyaudio

 

Hmm... You seem pretty aggressive with your money. Why not create an account at Fidelity and choose aggressive style investment for your portfolio. I think it is far more worthy than making unnecessary car payments. That's what I would do... Just saying.

 

Don't upgrade for the navigation. It's basically the same car with more payments. I would at least wait for the 3is.

 

I heard flyaudio still have some bugs that haven't been fixed yet. thats what I read. not sure

 

Well how many miles do you have on your car? If you don't mind me asking how much do you owe on the car? If you just want to upgrade b/c of the navigation it might not workout for you in the end. You should just wait

 

It's not really an upgrade, unless you're getting IS350 or IS-F..
If you're just gonna stick to IS250, then I would say just get it now..

 

I would trade it in for a used IS-F. That or save up and wait for the 3IS IS350.
