What Should I Expect?

I have an IS200 SE Manual with Sat Nav. 51 plate (2002) and 44K. Full service history, parking sensors and a car well looked after.

Dealer offered 7K to trade in for a GS300 SE-L. Is the salesman taking the biscuit?

I dont think he is in all honesty. remember that they have to sell it on and to cover costs of your new car there advertising of your old car and space and service and all the other stuff so they add aprox £2k to it when it hits there fore court and because the new IS so popular there is a glut of the old shape. have a look on e-bay! ive seen similar spec (perhaps a few more miles) to yours go for £5.5k! saddening I know as Im in a similar position.

Looks reasonable to be honest, but how much of a discount are you getting off the new car? Whats more important is the final changeover price.....
