I have a 08 IS250 RWD that I bought for 22k along with new ventus v12 tires/ tinted/ 41k miles/ 18" premium wheels

Now its nearly 58k miles on it, compared to deals on here I think what i got was a bad deal.

I can now sell it around 21900 for sure


If I do sell it, I was planning to get 09+ IS250 or a 06-08 IS350. for around up to 23-24k budget.

What should I do? I live in GA and only a college student, dont plan on buying a car thats far away. Theres literally barely any IS350 around that price range. Also let me know if I got a decent deal for the car above. If I got a decent deal then I'd probably keep it and just keep modding!

I added the fsport intake,DDMTunning 4300k HID, Fsport rear sways, and a invidia Midpipe, I could basically swap all this back and place it on the new car if i do get it. and plus I was planning to get springs installed this saturday. Let me know!!!

 

did you think about taxes and title fees that you would be wasting? I personally wouldn't do it and keep the IS250 you have. But that's just me. I am not as rich as many people around here

 

yeah I planned on keeping it, sorry for this no point thread. I felt that I put my time looking for this car and adding little mods here and there, and then having to part it and stuff, its just too much, got school work to deal with, but thanks lol!

 

depends if the years/model you posted is something you want over what you already have...personally I'd do it just to get a IS350 only because I personally dont think my is250 is fast enough

Although gwanee has a point, you'd have to spend money on tax and registration fee but I think its worth it

 

man i couldn't afford a IS in college.... Sell it keep your money.... If i could do it all over again. That's what I would do.

 

Keep it and wait for the 3IS! you'll have enough money by the time you get out of college

 

Really no gain with another 2IS. Save your money. The more you pay off this one, the more you will get caught up, and be ready for the 3IS. Switching cars around so quickly usually leads to lost money through depreciation, interest, and more down payments (dealers love this). Add EVERYTHING up. Don't just look at the price of what you can sell yours for or what you can get a new one for. You have to look at the entire picture and 4-6 year span of total money outlay.
