Go 350 if you can and care about power. You won't regret it. Be patient.

main difference is power?

ive searched around my area for 250 and 350, most are mid $$ 20s-30k

Huge difference in power. Day and night!
No doubt go with 350 if you can. Just test drive it and you will see

I've been car shopping for a month now and I think for an '07 IS250, not loaded.. you can find a better deal.

I'm currently looking at a 2007 IS350, 56k miles for $23,000. Includes Luxury Package: Navi, backup cam.. etc..
I'm planning to pull the trigger soon.

But my honest opinion, you can get a loaded IS250 for that price, or even cheaper.

***Sorry didn't catch that Minor Accident*** low ball him as much as you can!

Good luck!

Start here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...e-threads.html

Keep in mind the person who's claiming it was a "minor" accident is the same person trying to sell a car....
