My sales rep. told me three weeks ago that my '06 Blk/Blk GS 430 was scheduled to arrive on April 7th. This put me at ease because for like 2-3 weeks prior, he could not get one allocated in Blk/Blk, only Blk/Gray, which I didn't want.
Now, I know what you are thinking, the gray interior looks sweet, and I agree, yes it does. I love the Black Wood trim. But, living in Michigan I figured that the gray interior would look dirty easier than Black interior. And, I think that Blk/Blk looks more Stealthy or Dath Vader-like. I wish the black interior came with black wood trim, not the redish brown wood. Maybe this will be a future mod. I don't think that it would be too difficult, except for the steering wheel. But, probably gonna be quite costly.
Anyways, I asked the dealer if that date was an accurate date or a educated guess based on when it was sceduled to arrive at port and he said that it could come sooner or later based on the driver of the truck that it would be getting shipped on. I was a little satisfied with that statement, but really just wanted to know when it was coming so I could plan some things around its arrival (15% tint, JL Audio 1000/1 amplifier, JL Audio 13W7 subwoofer, remote radar, and test fitment for new 20's to order), but whatever.
I was off of work today because I had to have some Cortizone injections in my back to help with the pain from an accident I was in back in my in my old car ('03 Infiniti G35 Coupe). I decided to drive by the dealership and see if by chance it was there. I didn't see a truck there but did see some new inventory since the last time I was there (Monday) to get the winter mats because the parts guy called me and said that they had arrived in stock .
I drove through that lot and didn't see it. I was kinda dissappointed, but again, whatever. I took a quick spin through the back inventory lot and there she was...
My 2006 GS 430 has arrived!
I wanted SO BAD to go into the dealership right then and there to drive it home but I figured that it was 5:00 PM (close at 6:00pm), it wasn't yet prep'd, and I was promised it on the 7th. Also, I didn't have my personal license plate to transfer, insurance and most importantly my down payment.
I guess I could wait one more day .
Just thought that I would share that with everyone here. I am excited!.
It is loaded with everything (Nav. & M.L.), except the Precollision system (on salespersons recommendation).
Here's a link to some pictures from the day I took delivery...
