depends on what is in your budget, style you like, and whether your insurance is now jacked up cause of your friend. I too have a '09 is250 AWD that I've had for less than a month and I love it. Planning on selling anything you bought like the headlights etc? I'm in Jersey if you're parting some things. Sorry to get off topic.

Sucks to hear that he wrecked your baby; one very good reason only my wife and I drive my car. LOL!

Curious, did his insurance pay to replace your vehicle? Just want to see what happened in your case.

OH BTW, there are newer IS350 models that come in AWD if you 100% have to have that there in NY.

If you think you loved your 250.. try test driving a 350. You'll wet yourself.

Wow, sorry to hear about this. Glad you got your baby back though. This is why my butt is the only one that sits in my driver seat.

^Is true! At least for me. I just got my is250 and had a loaner is350 and have to say i did like the extra power, since i was came from a G35x and an FX35. My next car choice is going to be difficult to say the least!
