Default New GS350 - Finally!

So after a very long search for the right car I finally pulled the trigger on a 08 gs350 w/navi 28k miles . The price paid was $26800, I couldn't walk away from that price. I promise I'm the pickiest person in the world. My car had to be smokey granite with ash interior w/navi and/or ML, one owner, no accidents, FL owned car, clean carfax, and all maintenance records. I smiled when I saw that the owner went to the Lexus dealership every 6 moths and only drove less than 3000 miles in a 6 month period.

First mod will be HID fogs, parking lights, and drl.

Here's a pic my brother took with the htc 4g lte:

Thanks! Like I said I waited a lonnnnnnng time for a deal that I couldn't walk away from. As long as my old car started I wasn't in a rush for a new one. I can' wait to mod her. Vossens and coils are calling me but in due season (my better half rather have me spend $2000 to cut down 2 trees in the backyard over buying new shoes).

Now that's how you get the best deal for the best car...patience. As for me I could care less for the type of car or color. I just buy whatever car that can get the best deal on. I got my GS after the negotiation process failed for 4 or 5 other cars. I actually signed the paper for an ES even.
