Have you noticed Kelly Blue Book on IS?
Hey guys/gals, since I just refinanced my Lexus IS 250 with my credit union last month, I was happy my IS was valued at $35,250, but when I went to check again recently, it went down dramatically, to $32,520... on suggested retail, and went down terribly on "trade-in" to almos $24,000 (or lower).
That's really dramatic, What gives?

This is what happens when you buy a car near invoice. Everybody wants a great deal, but when more people get great deals, the resale price drops. Why pay premium for used when you can get new for just a little more (or even the same price)?

I've actually been tracking my cars worth with KBB and NADA and recording on this excel sheet.

How much are 2006 IS 250s with about 30-50k miles going for? KBB, if I remember correctly, said $25k, but I'm not sure if that is accurate.
What are 2008 IS 250s going for out the door?
Thank you.

hmmm
well then I know I got a steal... I got a 2007 IS 250 premium package, with navigation, and only 18,000 miles for 27,500 cash.. the girl was upside down on her payments so I made out like a bandit. Car is perfect not a thing wrong with it... Other than the fact that it makes a horribly annoying knocking noise, now tell me, is adding octane booster ok? it says in the manual to use 96 grade gasoline.. I use 91 cause that’s the best I can get.. whats the average MPG on the car, factor in that I have a bad case of the lead foot. How much HP and I supposed to be pushing, I thought only 204 but mine is pushing 245, cant figure out why, neither can the Lexus dealership. maybe im lucky ha-ha. I know a thing or two about mods because of my teggy and all the work put into that, but Lexus is new to me.
