Get the "F" Sai - you know that's what you want!! As time goes on you'll have less opportunity to indulge in cars, so take advantage while you can.

The 250 is more than enough for a daily driver. If you can afford the F, then yeah it would be nice, but for what? You won't be going any faster than that busted hooptie that's right next to you when you're sitting in traffic.

I say keep the 250, and save the extra money for something like a down payment on a house or something....

Thanks guys, I respect all your views. But I came to a conclusion that as for now I am going to enjoy the IS250. Stop the mods now lol like fo real and save up for the F.

Hey bro get the 350. I own an 09 and love it. But if you have the cash the F is nice, don't get me wrong I thought about getting on myself. After everything i think the 350 is cleaner looking.

I'm wondering what you mean by "extra bills" again if you dont mind me asking are you still living at home with your parents? personally still living at home and having such a nice car as the IS-F, its kinda silly if you think about it.... imo of course.

IMO you should test drive 350 first then F... feel the difference.. you think you like the power of 350 and F might be an overkill than save your self some money and get 350...
if you think you want F and you dont care about losing money than def consider F...
its fun to drive... as well as relaxing sometimes..
If you like the Lexus IS line i think you wont regret it.
