Default Looking to trade in for an IS350

So i'm looking to trade for an IS350 soon - Do you guys know if they're still doing any dealer incentives?

Is there anything major that's different from an 07 is350 vs. an 08? I hear a lot of varied opinions about steering -- is there any information that's really concrete?

Thanks

I got my 06 is 350 last year, and happy with it. Bought it with 40k miles, now got 65k and not a single trip to the dealer.
I'm doing all the maintenance myself, just changed all the filters. The car is an owner's dream vs my old bimmer which was annoying with all the engine check lights going on and off.
You'll like the IS350! Way better than 250.

I know the 08 has the gun metal colored wheels. The 07 is more silver.

Liquid Graphite. Not sure about the steering argument but I'm guessing there isn't much different between the two.

I traded in my 1997 BMW 540i back in March at Tucson Lexus. The BMW had 99,700 miles on it when they quoted me a trade in price and just over 100,000 when I actually handed them the keys.

Lexus gave me $5800 towards my '07. Sure, I could have got more if I sold it myself, however the car needed a few things done to it and I didn't want to deal with selling it on my own.

I ended up getting a certified '07 IS350 fully loaded with Nav, X-Package and 34,000 miles for just under $28,000 before the trade.

No looking back since, however I do miss my old 540 and the V8 engine but I don't miss the constant repairs needed on the BMW.
