If you could do it again, what would you choose?

id get exactly what i got (twice!) first was a 250 in starfire pearl with black interior, then i traded her in for a 350 starfire pearl with black interior
navi is a must have! i dont care about garmin being better or whatever, but in the end, having that nice big screen completes the luxurious looking interior... i always get compliments on how nice the interior is of the IS, navi makes it better, plus having ur iphone music via touch access is convenient (along with bluetooth calling, etc)
and remember, if u do upgrades, stick to oem/f-sport when possible, its just better fit for the car, its worth payin the small premium, or just be a smart shopper and find good deals out there (and in the classified section here too!)

I got an IS350 sport package, Nav system etc etc, the best of the best, but i made the HUGE mistake of buying a black car, it is hard to keep it clean, it shows little scratches ....bad color

If you care in the least bit about performance, get a 350. The mpg difference is insignificant (2 mpg...) but the power is a world of difference. Also, CPO is worth the money on anything used just because of all the minor (but costly) glitches. Color is a matter of personal preference. A black interior is soo much easier to maintain though. Also, look for a Sports package IMO, best of all worlds. I love my ML stereo but if you plan on doing any stereo mods, just go without ML/Nav and do an aftermarket upgrade.
