OH BTW Hung is right there isn't alot of IS 350's here in the Northeast. I used to live in CA and saw them all over Orange County and LA and that was back in 2005-2006. I think i've only seen 2 IS350's in the past year in NYC. I've seen maybe 30 AWD iIS 250's.

It was black with 15K miles..
Not listed yet but 250s for sale at Rallye are under $31K he got for the trade.
Also paid $35K for the IS350.
Seems the dealer will break even or take a loss when his trade sells.
Rallye definitely wanted to get rid of that '06.
There's another new '06 there that someone can get a great deal on.
Still a very strange situation.

You can turn off trac, you just have to do the 'pedal dance'. It is a pain to search for so I included it in my signature!

Less.
Those prices are asking prices and will sell for less.
Hard to see that dealer make any profit on your deal.
You got $31K for your trade.The trade in value was $28K. The final cost of $35.5 on the 350.
I honestly can't see how the dealer is making money on your deal.
It sure looks like somehow the dealer lost money.

Hung, I don't want to panic you but did you ask the dealer why they had 06 350 with such low mileage and willing to sell so low price? I doubt people can rollback odometer but you got a deal of a lifetime.

i did ask, they just said its been sitting around, moved around, but no one wants to buy it.. doubt its a loaner , the mileage is way too low. tester?? if it is , then it hasnt been tested that much..

'07 IS350 here. As far as tires go, I do not like the RE050s. Great dry traction. I never drive in the rain. Thats what my truck is for. Alot of road noise. Looking forward to replacing them with a high performance all season tire. Probably pilot sports or the bridgestone all season tire. Enjoy the ride.
