Good Price on IS350 F... What should I do?
I bought my 2014 IS250 F Sport 15 months ago and regret it from the get go that I didn't buy the IS350 F Sport. Long story short, after getting screwed over by the dealer on a 2015 IS350F months ago they GM finally called to make deal with me on a Brand New 2016. I have always wanted the 350 but now seeing the numbers I'm not sure if its worth it.... Your thoughts?
2014 IS250 - I owe 20k, GM said he would give me 27 for it.
2016 IS350 F Sport - Mark Levinson W/ Navi, Dynamic Cruise Control with Pre-Collision, Blind Spot.
Says he can get me at 35k out the door with my trade in. If I put 3k down, i will finance 32k, making my payments $100 more a month then what I pay now.
My only problem is owing 10k more on a car and starting my 72 months worth of payments over again.
After all I picked up my BRANDNEW 2016 IS350 F Sport. Nebula Gray with Rojo Red interior. BSM, Navi, Dynamic cruise Control.
I paid right at $43k out the door after it was all said and done. Gave me 27k for my 2014 IS250 F Sport Silver with rojo red interior.
The 350 is everything I thought it would be and more from the power it puts out, do the amazing change in suspension on Sport +. I'm so glad I didn't let this pass me by and decided to pick it up. Thanks for talking me into it!!! I took out all the LEDs, Intake and springs off my IS250. I put the LEDs and the intake back on today, will take care of the springs in the upcoming weeks.

If your out the door price is $43k on the IS350, that is a great deal (if I'm understanding correctly).
Sounds like the trade in value of your IS250 is a little low. If you can sell your car private party, what would it fetch? I'd try a Carmax appraisal to get a second opinion.

I debated between 350 vs 300 for a while and ended up with a 350. Your question makes me think ' If a dealer can cut my loan term by 15 months and lower my payment by $100/mo for a 300, would I do it ?" nah.. I'll have to pass.

Do it! With a deal like that even if you sell it in a year or two I doubt you loose much if anything on a brand new car. The 350 has such a nice engine and worth the extra $100 a month. So just cut back on your starbuck latte's. haha.
