Well guys, thinking about trading the CL in for a 2002 IS300, what do ya think? My CL has 116,000 miles on it, but they are all highway miles and its still running very strong. They are going to give me $6500 trade-in. The IS300 has 39,000 and they want $21,000 for the car. My payment would increase about $100 a month. I would be getting a car with a lot less miles, but the CL has lots of time left, I think. I dont want buyer's remorse, help

oponions please.....

 

go for it

 

is's are not my taste, they are played out.

get the new RL pimpdaddy

 

I'd do it. Dealers don't like giving $$$$$ for high mileage cars. U got a good offer.

 

hence the name 1SICKLEX

 

i would LOVe to have a black is300 5spd, with a turbo, full c-west kit and some sort of black rims

 

the only reason the dealer is giving u that price is probly because u are also buying that IS from them.. the trade in price sounds good.. but ur really paying it all back *or even more* when u purchse that IS. Dealers are some dirtay mofos.

 

u should just sell the car and buy my IS300

silver 5-speed

 

Smalls, what do you still owe on the CL?

 

Go 4 it. I am looking for a lex myself. CL is a great car, but the quality of a lex is top notch. Find out the blue book and tell the salesman you have other offers to see if he'll come down. The only thing to worry about is sometimes maint. prices are far left field.

 

Ok, i just got off the phone with my insurance. It would go up $1000 a year!! They said its because they are expensive to fix, and I'm under 25, but I have a good driving record and have never had high premiums. So, it looks like I'm sticking with the CL, I'm not trading it for something else.

 

IS300 just seem like their played out. and Lexus it self i've heard loose more resell value then any other brand.

 

i would go with the GS400/430 before looking at IS300

 

GS is expensive... if he is worried about 1000 a year on insurance hike...then the GS would be out of reach by far... monthly payments and insurance.
