Default Decision brand new is 250, or use is350c

I stuck between picking a brand new is250c or a use is350c.. If I buy the 250c it's around 45k brand new.. The use is350c i found is 40k n some change

Plus is that win the 250 get the color I want with all the bells and whistle, but with the 350c I still get all the bells and whistle but not the color I want

Could you live with the color you don't want? I got an Obsidian IS350, was really aiming for Starfire, MRM, or SGM, but I grew to love Obsidian and I don't regret it.

You need to ask yourself whether performance or color. If u r not in a hurry
I would wait. I was planning to get black on black but ended up on graphite gray mica and I liked it.

I'd get the used 350....If you can live with the color as person stated above. You'll never get 100hp out of a 250 to compare with the 350. How bout insurance, MPG? do you care about that?

I'd say the 350C is probably the better way to go, provided you at least somewhat like the colour.

The is350c is a win win win. And if you really want ANY color you want use that extra 5k on a custom paint job : D
