Default I am an official owner of a Lexus vehicle now!!!

Just got 06 GS300 today!!
I know... I know... there's 07 GS350 available now...
But, I don't need extra horses and there was at least $200 difference in payments.
I got everything except for the navigation!
Even comes with GS430 18" wheels! Don't hate me if I take the emblems off...
So, I'll see you guys around!

Congrats on the car!

About the power thing, I am in full agreement with you.
I just set mine to PWR ECT mode and the car is plenty
powerful for my purposes. I'm not taking a 50K car to the
track. I just like to make it glide smoothly down the
street (I'm getting old that's for sure)

Thanks!! It's Silver with Black interior.

You should've asked! It was extra $1,000 for the swap!
Which my dealer included in the price... So, I end up getting like $2,000 under invoice.

May I ask which dealer did you go to? I'd take an 06 if it's $1k below invoice with 18" wheels thrown in.
