Been lurking around these forums for a month now and I'm looking to now purchase a used IS250 for 25-30k. That is the price after rego, stamp duty etc.. I've been reading through the threads and know about the model differences and carbon build up issues etc... Just wondering what my best options are. I do prefer a black/dark exterior and would like the EMV and ML speaker packages with preferably <80,000kms. Looked around on car sales a bit and I figure I can get an 08 prestige within those requirements. I know that the Sports Luxury is an overall better package but I'm having a lot of trouble finding even 06/07 models in Victoria that are black and have less than 80kkm within that price bracket. I'm pretty keen on getting an IS250 within the next few weeks and was wondering if it was even worth waiting out for the new ones to be released to see the SL or higher year models drop into my price bracket.
