Value?

[oldmanmille]

Hi, I am thinking about changing the wife's IS200 for a 220d. For the short time I had my 220d I enjoyed it but no comparison to my RX400.

However, due to fuel consumption and the amount of miles she will be doing from now on, the 220d is going to be the best option.

Problem is I dont know how much to ask and the reason being is the condition and mileage!

Its an 03/2003, blue (best colour IMO) and has done a genuine 23000 miles with only one previous owner to us. It is immaculate to say the least!

Anyone have an opinion as to value as obviously cant come too close to the new shape or can I due to mileage?

Hard one to shout I know but....

Thanks,

John

Thanks atce4....

Was offered £5500 off the dealer who supplied my RX so I am considering. However, as the salesman said, I can buy an awful lot of fuel for the IS compared to the possible £10k to change to a 220d - I am thinking he is right, plus the wife loves the IS to bits so maybe I will be keeping her - the car that is!

Thanks again for the responses....

Good thinking. Proper reasons for changing from IS200 to IS220D include:

Your wife hates the IS200 - its just too easy to drive & park

Newer IS220D styling, some extra toys, kudos from newer number plate

Better IS220D fuel economy if you are lucky while everything is working properly

Your IS200 is a completely worn-out dog

You want people to think you are a sales rep

The IS200 is too quiet, smooth and nimble for you

You are bored with IS200 reliability

You want to try disappointment for a change and pay a lot of money for it

Which dealer offered you £5500? Want to bear them in mind in case I want to p/ex as that's a great price (unless it's because they're having trouble getting rid of 220ds)

Yep, points taken and decided to keep the IS200.

I am hoping to get a white RX450h next year so ..................
