Replying to: lauries (Nov 04, 2005 4:38 pm) I live in So. California and most dealers still have a lot of these cars sitting on their lot. Pretty much you have to be ready to buy it then and there when you make the offer. The more you do the heming and hawing, the less likely they'll make a good deal.

I am considering IS 250 RWD. The dealer is offering it for $32,800 with premium package. Is this a reasonable price?   RWD doesn't come with a Memory seats/mirrors system. How useful is the memory feature? Is it really useful? I am thinking whether I should consider other options BMW 325i that offer the memory feature? I cannot justify the cost of IS 250 AWD with memory. Replies to this message: 307web (Nov 05, 2005 2:22 pm)

Replying to: rahulgup (Nov 05, 2005 9:02 am) How difficult has your daily life been without memory seats? Do you share the car with another driver? You should be able to answer your own question.

I'm ready to buy but am wondering if there is a strong opinion either way on these cars. I will want the navigation/prem,pkg for sure. If anyone has a price OTD for either that would be great info to have. I have Also been looking at the acura 2006 TL and was impressed with the nav. Will the IS be disappointment? Any feedback on this would be helpful.

Replying to: stevob (Nov 05, 2005 10:51 pm) Well both cars are wonderful cars since I am ready to purchase the IS 350 with Nav/ML and with the pre-collision. I got it for 47K but I was actually able to get it down to 39K believe it or not! But I told the saleman that I'll think about it! Ooh and I say TL is wonderful!! since my older sister is buying her TL the day im buying my IS which might be during Thanksgiving Day! Which we'll be sharing our cars (lucky us) ooh but its all depends to you. Yes the TL is more roomier than the IS. The one thing I wish the IS had taken from the TL was the Blue illuminate light that shines on the console which I thought it was cool. But I would say buy a fully loaded 250 for 40K and try to get it down a couple of k's! Ooh and people are saying that they arent able to get the MSRP down but its b.s. since I clearly got a good price! Ooh one thing reconsider on getting the 2006 TL since hp is slower than the 2005 TL. hope it helps!! ooh and my sis was able to get her 2005 TL fully loaded as well for 31 or 30K i think!! Good Luck!!!

Replying to: suave_tequila (Nov 05, 2005 11:46 pm) I'm being offered list price of 37.6K. That is with Nav, but not the rest of the premium package. I think the interior is absolutely gorgeous; best in its class in my judgment. I'm a little concerned with the power on the 250 AWD, but it is a solid car at a good price. Anyone else have thoughts?   Also, with respect to the Acura TL, I test drove it a couple of times. Clearly a terrific car. Good power. Best Nav available. It is still not as plus in the interior as the Lexus. However, you can probably get it for 2K less.

Replying to: suave_tequila (Nov 05, 2005 11:46 pm) Actually, 2006 TL horsepower is down only because they are measuring it on a stricter hp scale...same engine, same power, just giving it the "true" horsepower rating. It would be as quick (or slow) as the 2005.
#72 of 2787 Re: Any feedback? [apg3] by rahulgup Nov 06, 2005 (3:55 pm)
Replying to: apg3 (Nov 05, 2005 8:47 pm) I loved the IS 250. Its more smooth than the BMW 325i. The only concern I have is its back seat room. Its very compact.   So I am debating whether I should go in for a family sedan kind or IS. what is the resale for IS. It should be pretty good? Replies to this message: apg3 (Nov 06, 2005 6:51 pm)

Replying to: rahulgup (Nov 06, 2005 3:55 pm) I have to think the resale on the 2006 IS will be solid. I'm purely speculating, but I think because the 2006 model is so different than 2005, there will be a substantial increase in resale between the 2005 and 2006.   Any thoughts on the IS 250 AWD's power?
