Keep your IS350 and stay on top of the maintenance. It should treat you well. No need for an extra car insurance payment or anything.

Drive it into the ground then reward yourself with a new vehicle when the time comes... You already have nearly 100k miles on it. No need to baby it at this point.

350 for reliability. Only a Civic or Sonething efficient on lower octane would be better.

Unless your want to buy a civic/corolla for a beater, keep the 350. its not worth it to buy the benz or the mr2

Totally agree; and with such high mileage and currently paint defects the future incidents won't be as painful.

not that you can't keep it in that condition, but it's not likely to happen with the miles you're putting up.
