just settling in after a trip to the dealership. i picked up a Lexus IS350. pretty happy about this one...i didn't intend on buying this type of car (i wanted more of a sports car rather than luxury), but it was one of those "deals" that i couldn't pass by.

long story short...it's a 2007 model (still NEW...350 miles on it) that was still on their lot. i lowballed them (and by lowballing i mean BADLY). ended up getting the car for $8400 UNDER MSRP. arty

so, for ~$6000 under MSRP after taxes, title, plate transfer, and all maintenance to 50k miles included...i was out the door.

lol. i'm confident that is a good price for what the car is. mile

woohoo!

pics my friend. what color. I took it out a few times test driving...but ended up with an Xterra instead...kind of went the opposite direction. lol

My brother has an IS300 I think and they may not be a two door, but with a couple of mods those things will haul some major ass. You'll enjoy it!

it's "tungsten pearl"...a light silver color. not my first choice (i prefer darker silver or charcoal-ish colors), but it's growing on me. i'll go snap a few pics now...but am waiting until tomorrow to clean it up and give it a proper prep. gotta remove the dealer hackjob they normally do to paint.

ok...here are some quick shots. not enough room in the garage to get a good front shot. i also couldn't hold the camera still for the gauge shot in the dark. lol

Beautiful Car Next time I detail my magnum I'll post some pics

get those pics up ASAP, ego! haha

i'm looking forward to cleaning it up tomorrow. it's decent, but the "detailers" at the dealership leave something to be desired. the car was built in July 2007, so it's been sitting outside for a year...definitely needs to be clayed and lightly polished to remove the dealer installed swirls. the wheels are filthy with brake dust. inside just needs a wipedown and some protection added to the leather/dash. can't wait!!

hehe I am still learning the whole detailing thing.. My dealers also did a crappy job detailing it when I bought it. Mine is also an 07, it has a lot of light surface scratches that I'd love to get out, but scared to tackle that myself lol

autopia.org forums FTW!!!

Lots of info there, but it still scares me! I'm afraid I'll make it worse than when I started haha..

Nice buy!

Cool!

Which dealer in WI?

nice one - I always buy some kind of silver color when possible because it's much cooler in the sun.

Nice car... Now where did I put my keys!! :|
