Default Traded in Brand New IS350 for an Evo IX



Hey guys! I decided to get and Evo and traded the IS premium package/Nav with ISP, Crystal White/Cashmere. My car has less than a 1000 miles so if you want a great deal on this IS pm me and I will lead you to the right direction.

Also, how does this work? If you already traded the IS for the Evo, how can you still sell the IS?

NVM, I just re-read the original post and you're not actually selling it...sorry.

Why did you trade in the IS??? Did you take a big hit in the trade-in depreciation? Did you realize you needed more sport, less luxury? Just wondering what your thought process was on this. In any case, have fun with the Evo. That's an unbelievably sporty car. I'd rather have that than a Subi WRX STI. I just don't know if I'd be able to take that big of a step down in luxury.

I am not the seller, I was just gonna point you to the right person because it is probably the first not so use, use IS350 out there. All I am saying is if you are wanting to save some. This is still comaprable to a brand new IS and get it for a use car price.

Yes, I just could not feel the sportiness of the IS. The numbers says it but it does not feel like it.
The Evo feels sporty and has the numbers to prove it. Maybe 3 years diwn the road I will continue to keep the evo as a track car... then get e the IS500 or M4... whatever.

I've driven the EVO MR. The only one in TN. It's fast & handles good but it's too Boy Racer for me. My .02

I said my IS seem to have outperformed the Evo, but he was not pushing the damn thing. LOL! I'm just a compulsive person. But the IS and Evo or both great cars, it really depends on what you prefer.

With the IS I just felt I had to baby it.... with the Evo, you can spank the damn thing and all it will do is SCREAM!

Anyway, I will always be a fan of Lexus and most probably in the future I will own one again.

HAVE FUN WITH YOUR IS's

I can think of five MRs alone in Nashville... Hard to say there is only one.
