The 250C SE-i with map has list price of £37,330....I was quoted circa £34,800 (in metallic paint) It looks a nice car but the spec is not quite as good as IS250 SE-L with multimedia, auto and metallic paint. I have quotes circa £28,600 and may do a little better. I will also get £1,000 extra trade in price against SE-L against the 250C. I have looked at the Merc new E series but thats around £37k depending on what extras I want. My current Lexus is the 200 SE (about 4 years old) and I think I am going to go for the IS250 SE-L auto and multimedia. The only thing I dont like about this car is the Sat Nav. Also, I agree about depreciation on the new IS250C...Its to risky!

Looking to change my Lexus IS200 for either a IS SE-L or IS250C. Have some decent offers for the SE-L with multimedia and Lexus have a £1000 loyalty offer against this car. New convertible looks good but I have not test driven it yet. I have had offers on this from list price. With the loyalty bonus the price differential is an incredible £7,000 difference. IS250 SE-L seems fair value (if there is such a thing) but as I see it the IS250C seems very overpriced and Lexus record with the existing sports car is not good. Any comments?
