I rather keep the LS430 myself. I would only trade for the IS250 if I wanted a smaller car that gets better gas mileage, and something that's decently fun to drive.

Welcome to Club Lexus Brianna

hmmm...LS430 for an IS250? Personally, I wouldn't do it but that's just me, I prefer big-body sedans.

welcome to CL Brianna, I personally would keep the LS430, I do not think it is worth it to trade in from IS250, maybe a GS350 or 460. It just all depends on what you like......^^

I swear I got a text from my cell phone about this thread.....

Welcome to Clublexus B.J!!!!

With gas prices, the IS 250 would be a nice move if that is a concern. The 2 are very different vehicles. I'm back on vacation, I'm sure the regulars in Car Chat will take good care of you with their recommendations.

Hey BJ welcome to the club. No offense really, but I'd actually be turned off a bit if my date shows up in an LS430. I can probably appreciate the fact that she appreciates the finer things in life, but still, call me stereotyping--the LS430 is just not a car for a girl.

This is just from my very twisted perspective of course. Personally I love the LS430, and objectively speaking the LS430 is still a much better/finer car in almost every way save for driving dynamics than the IS250, though I'd strongly suggest that you give my above opinion a second thought.

love the sig GS3Tek.


For a single Latina chick the IS250 would be a better look, not to mention the gas benefits... all you men here aren't thinking like a woman...

Well... is your LS430 the ultra lux version? with the leather wrapped int. trimmings/sun shade window things you know the full on? IF it is i'd keep it. IF its not... well then it gets subjective. err hope that helped

btw, welcome to CL
