So I know there's been a few posts on this topic before, but I'm truly flustered and anxious.
I currently have a 2007 IS350. I've been lurking in the F forums and keep seeing pictures of people's beautiful F's and I keep contemplating a trade.![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
I just hate the fact the dealers I've dealt with are absolutely not budging more than 1k on the price. I know I'm going to take a hit on my 350, but I'd still like to make some of it up by getting a good deal on an F.
I just don't know what to do...![Dunno](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/13879dunno.gif)
So the question is: To F or not to F.

Finally, December to Remember is just a week away. Be a little patient, you might save a LOT. That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it.

That's a tough decision, since your car is so new. If you trade it in now, then you are eating the massive initial depreciation. You should be able to get a great deal on an F right now, but you would also get jacked by the trade-in. Good luck nevertheless!

I think you'll get a better deal if you sell your car and shop around at different dealers. Sooner or late the 2008 will have to sell some how....unless those lucky employees gets those huge savings off of it.

I do have a steady job and make decent money. I can afford the car, it just might slightly affect my drinking/entertainment funds.
I'm just undecided. I think its the factor of having the "fast" "sporty" version of the car that's killing me.
Should I try and sell privately or trade in? I'm sure private sale would be best, but it can be lengthy and in times like these, who know if I'll find a buyer.

Do not even think about trade-in, private seller is the only way to go to get half decent money out of your car. The key is to take a ton of pics of your (clean) car and to write up a little something about how awesome the car is, from a user point of view then put it on eBay, CraigList and Auto Trader... Then wait... This is hardest part. I have sold 3 cars and 2 motorcycle this way, always above KBB trade-in value !
