It looks like you had a 350 in your "past rides" section?

the is250 is nice, but only if you got the 6 speed manual. but honestly, i have my qualms with it, the 250 isn't much lighter then the 350, it isn't considerably more fuel efficient, and it isn't faster then the tc. granted the looks, styling and fit and finish are better, and it is rear wheel drive, i just think that the daily driving difference is too small for me to want to make that jump.

not bashing, i hope you enjoy your new ride, and pick out some cool mods for it.

I did-- but it was a 2006 model and it only had the sport package on it-- The new 250 I have is pretty much fully loaded, with the X package (Which is almost the same as the sport package), nav and the lexus HIDs, "hks dual sport exhaust," spoiler, ground effects, illuminated door sills etc etc- Plus, the 350 was horrible on gas mileage in the city-- on highway it was great, but in the city..ehh. And I wanted more options on the car-- next time around I'll look at the new 350 (The 09's have been slightly redesigned) =]

Lol no need to sell it-- PM me your mailing address (unless you are local, then we can just meet up if yo'd like) and I'll mail or bring you a brand new one out from HQ =]


tCtCtC, indeed IS-Fs are the hottest.....one day....one day hahaha baby steps..


tcCAlI, def post up the pics if you have a photoshoot with that IS-F

I hear you-- if I was making a little more money right now I would have definitely opted for the 350-- I had the 350 payments before I had student loans to pay back-- Now, I have about $1000 a month to pay to student loans, and therefore I could not treat myself to a 350 just yet, at least not until I get a raise haha. So for now, the 250 will have to do But I definitely see your points

lol no need to envy, I'm sure I envy the payments you make or made in comparison to mine hehe

Basically I only pay about $7,000 to keep this car for a year, which is as long as I'll keep it, just like the tC. The $7,000 includes the insurance, registration and maintenance on the car.

If I bought the car, I'd pay about $32,000, whereas the sticker price (before any dealers' markup) is $40,000.

Not too shabby =]

Not bad, just built one, but the site doesn't show the price for mods. I guess they don't want people to know how much they will rape them.

haha yeah, the dealers do charge up the butt for every little thing-- Just for the HKS dual exhaust I think dealers charge around $1500 and that's without installation, or so I've heard hahaha

I got automatic, just like the tC-- (I know I know) but shifting is not fun in LA traffic...at least not to me haha

I'd still want something with more power...Comfort, then yes the IS250 is a great choice for around $30,000...but I need performance .
