Got my '06 IS350 Today!

pli · 01-02-09, 08:07 PM

sorry for those who clicked to see pictures but i wont have any until tomorrow. its being stored away for a few days (at a garage 4 miles away from my house) until i put insurance on it.

so for those who have been keeping up with a few of the threads that ive posted up, ive been eyeing on the is350 for awhile. after much long search, my eyes were on that silver one at LUXURY MOTORS(alot of ppl complain about them but its okay. as long as car is good) because it had the lowest mileage and had NAVI.

the car drives perfectly fine. no complaints. but the only flaws were

-the missing door piece on driver side (the door hole piece)
-no manual
-only ONE key!!!

-NO NAVI CD!!!!

-3 noticeable rockchips (small tho) and mismatched silver touchup

paid 26,995 otd. it wasnt too bad but i called up lexus and they told me the key was 250 and programming was 75. the navi was around 250 as well.

review of dealership:
also, today, right before i left, i called up the dealership with a different name and spoke with a guy named Jason. i wanted to try and talk a new price. but it didnt go so well. i told him to give me an out the door price and he was like, well just come in because what if we give you a price and your not satisfied...and what if you dont even like the car after a satisfied price. so im like okay. i told him ill probably come in today..and he was like okay. let me get your number so i can call you. im like, we'll just talk once i come in. and i go forth and ask him what his name was. he said jason and i tell him, ill let you know...and sometime between that line, he just hung up the phone on me.
so if you guys ever go to that dealership, dont talk to that guy. hes a ****.

when i walked into the dealership, i felt very welcomed by a guy named Lee Johnson. he was a really cool guy. cooler than the guy that i lasted walked into the dealership and met. so i was willing to chat with him about the price. very straightforward guy. so we were talking about the car and got the price down from 27.5 to 27. then, thats when we went straight to the managers and i was arguing with the managers straight up. the guy, lee johnson was really trying to to help us meet the price we want. but the managers were a up the butt! i dont like them one bit but i guess all the sales people gotta go through them. to sum it up, if you guys ever go to this dealership, hes the guy you want to talk with. i felt very confident in talking with him.

Congrats on the purchase, you might want to check eBay for the Nav Disk and as for the key check out Sewell Lexus, we get a discount as CL Members.

What are your plans / first mods?

Congrats! Habeeb is right. Check Sewell for the key. Also check for the key hole cover on Sewell. I am not sure if they come pre-painted. Weird that it didn't have it.

It's shady that the navi disk is not included. How are you supposed to use the navi? I would have LM pay for it.

i tried getting them to lower the price for the key and the navi. but they wouldnt budge. i guess they knew i was a bit desperate for the car and couldnt wait. the salesguy was telling me that supposedly they took out the CD because personal info was stored in it? i think it was bull. you cant store info on the navi disk, can you?

LOL, no you can't. It is stored on the car.

Did you get snow tires for the car?

Congrats on the car. So, 26,995 otd included sales tax? How many miles? Luxury or premium edition? Post some pictures when you get a chance and let me be the first to say: let the modding begin.
