Default Cannot find a lexus is350 in white so thinking to get a g37x sedan

About a month a ago my lexus is350 was part of a hit and run and the car is now totaled, ive been in search of the same car white w. navigation, park assist backup camera but have had no luck, so in real need of a car ive have been looking at g37x sedan white or black, Just want to know what you guys think, going from an is350 to a g37x sedan, g37 is awd, bigger interior and 7spd auto, where as the is350 has better mpg 1-2, weighs less, better resale value.Name:  document 002.jpg

Wow. $27k for a 2007 Is350? Looks like the prices increased big time since I last bought my car!

Have you looked at the car auctions? They are way cheaper, and have a much broader selection.

Get the G37. I would never buy the same car again if I had the opportunity.

I wouldn't buy the same car again, but if you are choosing only between these two then I would go with 350 again. IMHO lexus has nicer interior and exterior.

To each his own, but exterior color would never be the ultimate deciding factor for me in choosing a car. Too many other more important characteristics - performance, fuel economy, reliability, etc.

I would never buy the same car again, unless it was a generation upgrade.

They took off on foot n left the car there, its still under investigation, the owner of the car came later on trying to say that she reported it stolen, but I think it was her nephew driving it

the 350's are not commonplace on the market... at least not compared to the 250's, and are commanding top dollar.. even on trades. I have been told my SFP 09' with black interior is supposed to be a not so common combo too.. so maybe ill get decent cash for it when i sell or trade. Looking to get IS-F within next 4 months or so.
