Have a 06 IS250 AWD... may trade to 04 IS300 to make some flexibility for the Missus on a Lexus purchase come summer but not sure (other than AWD, which is beneficial here in WI) what I am giving up. Car I'm looking at is an auto w/ 33K miles but I've always loved the IS300.

Thoughts are welcome!!

 

It would suck to not have awd in the snow. Other than that, if you still want to mod the car there are a ton of affordable options for you.

 

If you want a car to mod more go with the Is300 there are much more mods for it including turbos then the Is250. If you can budget it get a old 4wd truck for the wisconsin winters, if not stick with your Is250, it is a nice one.

 

Yeah, gonna stick with my IS250... I love it!!!

 

give your wife the IS250AWD get an 04 LS. trading that car in you gonna be short changed no matter what

 

yeah just keep the 250
