New To Lexus And Quite Impressed

jovie · September 8, 2012

Hi all,

I have just acquired an IS250 from a relative, it's a late 2006 SEL, silver, with all the options, multimedia, radar cruise, roof, camera e.t.c

This car has hardly been used and has only 17,000 miles on it.

Now, I am a die hard BMW man, but after driving it for a week I must say I am suitably impressed.

The only thing I don't like is the thin steering wheel!!!!

I like the way it rides and it can hustle if you want it to, but when I am coming from work and I am tired, I enjoy the silence and the silky smoothness.

So well done Lexus, If I were in the market for another car I would certainly choose the lexus over the BMW.

Now comes the hard part.

I already have a car, so she who calls the shots won't let me keep it!!

I have been looking in the classifieds and there aren't very many SEL about with low mileage and those that are tend to be in main dealers for about 13k or more.

What sort of price would I be looking to sell this car at as I need to sell it soon.

I would rather it went to someone who wants one than sell it back to the dealers although I won't let it go for a ridiculous price.

Don't sell it. Get shot of the BMW.

250SEL with 17k on it..... Your very very lucky. For me there's only 3 BMW's I would have instead.... 330, M3 or M5. :)
