I recently sold my 25 500 back to dealer, rusted, I'm ok now about it. Drove the 26 model this week and enjoyed it. It's fine for my daily driver. Saving 21k is also nice, however, it looks as Tho the resale value is not great. Probably take a haircut of close to 10k in 2 years. I'm good with a pre-owned, as long as I can get the surround view camera...2024???...Any help, ideas, suggestions are greatly appreciated. I was able to negotiate a supposed 200-dollar deal over invoice 49k on the new 26 model that stickers around 51,800. I'd like to spend 40k. I pretty much think that finding a new LC coupe is about over, however, that is a big consideration on looking for pre-owned 350, if one of the dealers happens to call and says we have one in the next number of months, I can upload the 350 without losing much.

 

The 2026 just came out three weeks ago and are all selling at MSRP or above. Have not heard of any discounts, let alone near invoice. If that's the case, then that is massive news (and also does not make sense). Maybe it's a regional thing.

Overall, modern IS's have very good resale. Mine stickered for $48k in 2023 and similar ones are currently selling for $42k on car lots. Most Lexus's and Toyotas have very good resale due to their reliability.

 

You could be correct about it being a regional thing. Dealers in SoCal are advertising them at a discount.

Thank you for the update. I am in SoCal and the dealers around me are advertising above sticker or at. Is there a dealer you can share that is discounting them? Thank you.

 

My 2016 IS300 is starting to have issues:

-bluetooth audio cuts in and out periodically
-6-speed auto transmission gets loud and rumbling at traffic lights
-underbody rust is bad and wheel wells are bubbling (Canadian Winters)

Despite gas prices hiking up, I'm stuck between an IS350 F-Sport and a 2025 ES350 F-Sport

 

I would be interested as well. I have never known SoCal not marking things up.

Man, markups on what is basically the same car as last year with a facelift. Just awful.
