Recent price paid on HS250 premium
Hello all, I am new to the forum. I'm thinking of trading in my IS250 for a HS250 premium. I would like to ask the community what price is everyone paying these day. Btw, is the optional LED headlamps worth the additional $$$? Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. I finally test drove the vehicle yesterday. The acceleration, wind noice, braking, etc seemed comparable with my IS250. Are y'all happy with the purchase?

A dealer in VA quoted me $1K off sticker for a fully loaded model with ML audio that would need to be special ordered. I think that getting 10% off MSRP ($4K) is a good deal.

I like it, but don't love it. Didn't find anything else I liked better though, including the IS250 (the HS was the only hybrid I looked at), so no buyer's remorse. I don't find myself looking forward to driving it, the way I've done previous sport sedans - feels more like an appliance to get from A to B.
My main gripe is the chassis setup - a bit of a nervous ride with the 18's on the Premium, but not that great handling either, especially near the limit or on uneven roads. The base model with the 17's might be a better compromise. Otherwise, the car is plenty competent for normal driving, but not to the point of being "fun". Of course, that's compared to sport sedans, not other hybrids, so YMMV.
