Default Wow, how cool is that...

I bought my IS250AWD last month. Because of a recall, my pick up date was postponed one week (I got a loaner car - ES330 at that time).

Anyways, I just got home and see a package; I received a letter from Lexus as well as 2GB iPod Nano and XtremeMac Aux. cable - all in appreciation of my time and understanding as well as for being a valued member of the Lexus family (although this is my first Lexus). How cool is that??? Wow...

Maybe I'll get one too, although I won't have my 250AWD for a few more weeks.

Yeah, if that's the case... Ugh. I took delivery in late November. Only got a recall letter and been driving around in an RX330 loaner for all of today (having them work on rattling noise too).

I have a feeling the people who already took delivery... aren't getting Nano's. But who knows. It's just a feeling.

Cheers,
Kermee

Default Nice

Nice Jabol! Hope they send me one.

I ordered an IS250AWD way back on October 25th and the dealer finally called yesterday to tell me my car is in their allocation for this month. That is the first time in six weeks they have called to update me on the status of the order. Hardly the level of service I expect from a Lexus dealer...of course a free Ipod Nano would soon make me forget the poor communication

Enjoy!

I just brought my car in today for the recall. They made me sign a sheet with my information so Lexus of Canada can send me a iPod Nano for being co-operative with the recall. This is in Calgary Alberta though, but I hope it's the same for you.

Default Just got mine today

I brought my car in to have the recall done on January 4th, and along with a car wash, and topping off my tank.. today (1/11/06) i received the ipod Nano and the auxillary audio cable cords to plug into the auxillary port.. I think they are sending them to all of us who have been inconvienced by the recall, either by bringing our cars back or waiting for delivery....
