New 2009 JDM accord(2.4) or IS 250 (1 year old)
Still undecided between this 2 choice which is quite close or +- 5% in price.
Any advice or comments are welcome whether good or bad.
Thanks.

The interior space difference between the two is going to be huge.jackalcleo wrote:Still undecided between this 2 choice which is quite close or +- 5% in price.

The difference in interior space is huge. One is a full size 5 seater. The other is a basically similar to a 3 series bimmer interior.jackalcleo wrote:do you mean the IS250 to be smaller in interior?carfan wrote:The interior space difference between the two is going to be huge.jackalcleo wrote:Still undecided between this 2 choice which is quite close or +- 5% in price.

How can the price be + - 5%?? If you consider your 'budget' in this manner, then you can buy yourself a 4 year old BMW 5 series or something like that. It is clearly obvious that one is a lexus and one is a honda, both sedans. Obviously it will cost more to own a lexus.....No? If not then consider a 2 year old BMW 3 series, 3 year old C-Class, 4 year old 5 series / E class, or 6 year old 7 series, or 7 year old S-Class...etc...the list goes on.jackalcleo wrote:Still undecided between this 2 choice which is quite close or +- 5% in price.

for warranty, Lexus would have advantage as you could spend a few k to get to 5yr of warranty, and if u plan to drive the car more than 3yr then it would make you less worried compared to a PI car
interior wise the Lexus is prob less modern with it's 'old' style ICE and instrument panel, compared to the Honda. i still can't imagine why the Lexus cruise control is still using the stick type.
but maybe for comfort and noise level Accord will lose out. and IS250 is a V6, engine might sound better to ur liking.
also, as others have mentioned, another very good car in ur price range will be a 1+ to 2yr old C200. much higher OMV compared to ur choices.
hope this helps

I would go for new JDM 2009 accord. Not because we are in the honda forum. Not sure if it's just me but i don't find the IS250 pretty. Space wise - tight.
You can get an one year old IS250 at slightly above $100K. Although it's a lexus, many will go for Mark X which i believed you can get a new Mark X at $90K.

Any comments are welcome
the smooth, power V6 is still 1step above 4in-line for normal sedan
