I have a chance to change my 2012 IS350 X for a 2014 IS 350 F Sport

Is it worth doing ?

[iinkz]

Might need more information?

Is this a straight swap?

[blackadder]

Thanks for your reply -

I have to dob in a bit and pay a bit more monthly but wanting to know if the difference in the cars makes that much of a difference.

That will depend on the exchange figure. You have a very old car there almost 10 years old , the new car is much, much , much................. better car and going from a bottom spec to the F-sport is an upgade in itself.

Why not take one for a drive do the sums and then decide, thats what I would do.

Mine is a 2012, only had it's first service in Nov.

$12k and $800 a month for 5 years...........I'm starting to lose interest a bit.

rakddon,

I wasn't refering to the actual built date of his car, I was refering to when the car was first in the market, that's almost 10 years , a lot of things change in that time.

Do you own your car now? If not Is that figure on the top of what you are paying now? If it is that is a lot of $$$$.

IMO not worth it.New cars take the biggest hit in depreciation in the first 1-2 years of ownership.Keep it for a total of 4 years to average out the depreciation.Not to mention you've already got the 3.5L motor already so not a huge stepup.

Fair enough, I've only had this one a year so I should forget about it for a while, thanks for the feedback.

[blackadder]

Present car is under finance, I took the 2.9% deal on offer a year ago, that's another reason not to change I guess.

[blackadder]

The new model looks impressive but I only do 10k a year in short trips, I should have a Getz :)

Keep the 2is

Pay it off

And then get the new 1

You will lose too much money

Upgrade is good but ur going to lose out way too much

[blackadder]

I'll stick with the one I have and get some use out of it.
