Hi all,
I have query that your thougths or knowledge may be able to assist me in. I am relocating to another country for 6 months and as such am thinking about selling my car, 1999 IS200. Don't really want to be paying off a car that sits in the garage for 6 months gaining dust and losing value. Anyway I was looking at getting a new car next year, have narrowed it down to 3 models:
A new IS
Subaru Liberty GT (new model B4 replacement)
Falcon XR6 turbo or GT ( aussie people will know about this car)
Now I know that my choices other than a Lexus are a compromise on "ownership feeling", I have yet to see or hear about any after car service, care or satisfaction that comes close to a Lexus. The other 2 choices are based on performance improvement, Subaru.. and shear fun factor.. Falcon
My question is does anyone know anything about the new IS due next year, release, specs, price increase/decrease etc... When I get back next year the Liberty and the Falcon will be available but the I don't think the Lexus is due until last qtr. I don't want to buy a current model Lex on return to only wish I had waited and also don't have much patience when it comes to waiting ... I will only be able to survive on a interim car for a SHORT while before the buying bug bites... I think dumping the current IS now will be good because trade in prices will drop when the new model arrives, unless it is really bad!!
Your thoughts appreciated
