Default Question about the Price (IS250 pre-owned)

Hey Guys

Help me out here.
There is an IS 250 RWD version on sale at my dealership for 34500. With 1100 miles and X package +nav. I currently drive fully loaded IS350 2006, the model on sale is 2007. Since gas is going up, and everything else, I was considering trading it. Can i negotiate the price, and how low can i go?
Since the odds are kind of against me

Thanks for the feedback

Gas prices going up is a terrible reason to trade in your IS350. First of all you will take a hit on your car when trading it in for the 250. The savings on gas would take many many many years to break even on the hit you'll take. And you'll miss the power difference

isn't there a thread on it somewhere that the 250 doesn't even save that much more gas than the 350?

you probably have a heavy foot... lay off the pedal... go 40mph local and 60 highway... gradually speed up when need be... see how you do on gas then
