Base Package, Luxury Package, etc.? AWD?

20K seems steep to me for a 8 year old car with that mileage. I would only factor in 50% the retail cost of the mods into the price of the car. Personally I wouldn't pay anymore then 15K...

luxury package/awd...


Thanks for the input, i was just wondreing if it was worth the 20 grand with the all the mods and twin turbos

To me, and remember this is just my opinion, you can list 1 million mods you did to the car and I still wouldn't pay a penny more than I would pay for a regular one without mods. General rule for the seller is you don't get back what you put into the car.

That sounds like my car...:uh:

But no it's not all wheel drive, it only has 9k miles on the motor.

I can guarantee you won't find another one like this :D but if you feel like the price is too high, then the car wasn't meant to be for you.
Like I mentioned... I'm in no rush to sell.

yeah 20k for an 07 is250 is ludicrous, moddded or not. if you going that far for an 07, you might as well get a is350 and it is still gonna be faster than a TT is250. cheaper too

Lmao uh sounds like my car haha

Raybean 03-18-14 05:37 PM

wouldn't pay 1 cent more for all those mods. in fact i would pay less

thanks for the input guys!

Sounds overpriced for a 150k IS250. Just my opinion..

dfwjohnd 03-18-14 06:27 PM

i would only pay $19,876.54

Ill express my opinion on here since I have seen the car in person and know the guy and hes a great dude... You could spend 15k and buy it completely bone stock but consider that you will eventually mod the car and just in some rep wheels and coils you are looking at least 4-5k and with all the mods done to his car if you wanted the same you would have to fork out another 10k+15k(for car) thats 25k at the lowest and yeah the chassis may have close to 150k but the engine the heart of the car is at 9k thats a bonus bro no need to worry on carbon problems on this IS I know im gonna have mine done when I reach around 120k, but its your ultimate decision it is your money.

rep wheels and a set of BC coils will run you about 2k all together. add another 400-500 for tires, thats still not 4k-5k. turbocharged or not, 20k for a 2007 is250 is a rip off. not when you can find used is350 in 06-08 for around 15k-18k and still be faster. makes no sense no matter how you cut it

No fun in buying a modified car. Buy a stock IS and make it your own.
