Replying to: 100grandman (Jun 07, 2005 1:23 pm) I am not allowed to post the contact name here. It's the Edmunds forums policy. If you want a decent deal on the Lexus, sell it yourself. I put an add in the Dallas paper recently to sell my Accord and the phone continues to ring even after I sold it. A 10 day add costs $49.00. Good luck! AMT-

Replying to: virtualbmw (Jun 07, 2005 8:01 am) I've driven both, but I admit I really can't tell the difference. Probably b/c I'm driving an 88 Volvo 740 wagon

Replying to: virtualbmw (Jun 07, 2005 1:52 pm) I know of a good place to get the car detailed and I have all of the Lexus inspection records that are up-to-date. >>Good for your wife. I'll bet she won't miss driving that fancy camry wagon.<< Now that's what I call funny! I wish she would've listened to me in the first place and not went that route. But oh well. Just to throw out a question, I know you don't have any real live info to go on but how well do you anticipate the new IS 350 stacking up against the 2006 3? |

Replying to: amt7565 (Jun 07, 2005 3:52 pm) I live in N. Forth Worth so Autobahn is just a hop, skip and jump away from me. I think I'll go by there this weekend. I'll also try the Dallas Morning News with that add. Thanks again. Just like I asked virtual, I know you don't have any real live info to go on but how well do you anticipate the new IS 350 to stack up against the 2006 3? |

Replying to: 100grandman (Jun 07, 2005 5:49 pm) They are 2 different cars. The Bimmer is a man's sporty toy and the Lexus is a woman's favorite car in my opinion. I see more women drive Lexuses and more men drive Bimmers. You have Japanese reliability and German engineering. I never considered the Lexus in my decision to buy last month. I test drove the G35, Audi, Mercedez and the Bimmer. So, I can't vouch for the Lexus. This is what I would do if I were you: since you have already owned a Lexus, give the German car a chance, will you?  Good luck! AMT- |

and if you decide to trade your wife's Lexus in, make sure you DON'T TELL the dealer about your trade until AFTER you've negotiated a price on the new 330i. Don't go in and tell the guy you're looking to trade in her Lexus for the new 330i. Ask Terry on the Real World Trade In Values board here on Town Hall. |

Replying to: amt7565 (Jun 07, 2005 6:33 pm) downside of the car...no manual in the 350, only in the 250.

Replying to: nyccarguy (Jun 07, 2005 7:18 pm) good advice. also I tend to insuate I'm paying cash so that I won't see anything approaching a 4 square box or hear the stupidest words on the planet, "so what kind of payments do you want to make?" $1.00 a month?

Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 07, 2005 9:03 pm) They could prolly get you in the neighborhood. My CU said that they have 84month loans and can delay the 1st payment by 3 months..Yikes DL |

Replying to: amt7565 (Jun 07, 2005 6:33 pm) Giving the German car a shot was what I was thinking too. I mean my wife has the RX 330 and I had the first IS 300 and even though I liked the car it kind of wore thin after a while. I'll have to convince her to try something different.
