Your best bet would be to sell your IS used.... and buy someones used IS350.

The cars options lose value the quickest. Which Is why you see people with loaded cars complaining about how much their car has lost.

So you sell your 250 for like 26K? and then find a fully loaded 350 for 34K-36K. Not bad. Considering your car new was 12 less than a loaded 350.

So really you dont lose any money... except for taxes.

You could wait for the IS-F. There will probably be quite a few people who want to sell their 350's when it appears

I haven't seen any 2006's on the dealer lots in my area ...... I think you'd be lucky to find a new '06 at this point.

if you decide to do it, i agree with tqlla3K.
buy a used one with low miles so you can shave off couple thousand and save yourself some money.

You can't? I was under the impression that you could.

At one point you could not, but I believe that has changed. It may vary depending on the region.

AFAIK, the 2k6 is350s in california had sports + nav + ML packaged together; if you wanted any one or two option(s) of the three you had to special order it. not sure for the premium-packaged 2k6 is350s though...
