This is laughable, but we traded a 2000 Olds Bravada when we purchased the IS350. Clowns at the dealership offered up $5k for the Bravada (which was paid for) before realizing that is was only worth about $3k. Gotta love it when you get a chance to screw a dealership!

My IS250 replace my old 2001 Acura CL type s. 330,000 miles. She was about to died and I wasn't about to drive my CL550 daily so I decide to purchase an IS250. I honestly wish I would have purchase another vehicle. I don't find the vehicle luxury at all. I probaly would have done better purchasing something alot cheaper with more technology and better gas mileage but I plan to give the car to my son next year so it's all good.

Went from a 2k Nissan Maxima SE to my 07 IS350. After I rammed an X3, I needed a car with better brakes.

It's always interesting to see this, as usually members go the other way (ie. IS350 -> 335i). What made you make the switch?
