Possibly moving from NJ to FL question
Hello everyone,
There's a decent chance I will be moving from NJ to FL in the next few months because of work. I currently drive a 2017 Lexus IS300 AWD. Now my dilemma is since I am most likely moving south where it does not snow at all, having an AWD car is pretty much a waste. Am I wrong for thinking that? Should I keep AWD version or opt for RWD IS?
What do you guys think?

Do you own it or do you lease it? I personally own AWD but I heard RWD has the best driving capability. Also more gears, better mpg. I would assume it rains down in Florida so AWD would be good for that.

Plenty of people here have AWD drive cars but there is no point in paying extra for another AWD if you are leasing a new one. If you own your car now I wouldn't go and get a new car until you are finished with the one you have. Its not useful down here but it isn't a waste either. They generally do not sell AWD new Lexus vehicles down here at elast at my dealership unless they are ordered that way but there are used ones for sale people (snowbirds usually) trade in that they got up north.

Thank you for the reply guys..
I am leasing so might just let the lease run out and then trade it in. I had every intention in purchasing the lease at the end but I guess this changes things. Hopefully they will allow me to trade it in to a Lexus in FL.
