Prospective Owner, Is250 Awd Value?

[Bwilliams]

I currently Own an LS400 but have moved to the Northeast and am in the market for the IS250 AWD. My yearly mileage is high, so I have ditched my initial plans of getting an audi. I have had an is250 awd for a service loaner many times and I like the cabin, the road feel, and the exterior. I can afford this car used, but I find the price to be a little offensive. 26-30k for a used 06 with 20-50k miles? Seems way to steep for what you're getting at the end of the day. I can get a New one for a fraction more. What do you guys like/dislike about your 250s, and how good is the AWD in the snow?

Honestly just get a new one then. And you still may be able to find some 08's on the lot they want to get rid of. I love everything about my 09 IS350 except for some of the navigation things are unavailable while the car is in motion.
