Which Would You Choose?

[PhilipK]

Looking at two cars, both from Lexus dealers, both at the same price:

1) IS 250 SE-L with Multimedia Pack, 2008, 17k miles

2) IS 250 Advance, 2011, 29k miles

The SE-L has more toys (HID lights, Memory Package, Mark Levinson sound, Cooled seats, DVD changer (not just CD), Gearchange paddles, Rear sunblind, Electric steering wheel adjustment) and fewer miles.

The Advance is 3 years younger, has (slightly) lower VED at £265, hard disk sat nav and presumably full (rather than 5+) warranty.

Definitely the one with more toys.

Se-L every time.

Why buy a Lexus without toys?

Thank you for all the responses.

Interesting that everybody chose the SE-L - which is the car now sitting in my garage!

Good choice.......but I would say that wouldn't I?

When you get used to it all, take a go at putting the gear stick in sport mode and use the gear stick like a manual or try out the steering wheel paddles. It can be really good fun.

put up pics, i just saw it was the auto you got.

I am growing into this manual, it did not take long to get adjusted to it.
