Default Became the proud owner of an 07 GS350 today

The past year and a half or so, I had an '04 IS300. Unbeknownest to me, the previous owner apparently beat on it like it was a red headed step child.

Well know, it is someone else's problem, because I traded it in on a 2007 GS350 with ~123k miles on it. I was hoping to find an AWD model, but the RWD will do.

It is black inside and out. It is amazing how different it is from the IS. I will miss my IS, but this car is awesome.

Good for you! I also purchased a 2007 GS350 last Thursday. It's a fantastic car. I've never owned a Lexus before, but now I think I have the bug. I've been lurking around this forum for the last week trying to educate myself on the car, potential issues, etc. It's a great resource.

Enjoy the drive.

Ran it through a car wash and took some better pictures. Falling in love with this car even more.

Wow...looks great. Looks like mine. Black Sapphire with the 18" summer tires and rear spoiler. You may love it now, but I'm positive you will even love it more as you drive.it.

Thanks everyone.

Yeah, but I'm kind of excited for warmer weather so I can try out the Chemical Guys products I have. Bought them last year for my IS300, but then had it wrapped in vinyl. So it has only been used on the Toyota Sienna, and it made it look great.

Thats wwhat mine is! I really wish I could've found black on black though.

Congrats OP. You will love the car. I bought my RWD 07 last year with 123K on her and I'm at 147K now. Nothing wrong with it so far other than a alternator. Drives like a dream. I added the F Sport sways, a Joe Z intake pipe, F sport air filter, and Invdia Mid pipe. Amazing car for me as a daily driver.

Thanks! I am settling into it. I've come to grips with the fact that it is not a sports sedan like my IS was. But it's still a bad *** car.
And I plan on doing a little bit of modifying here and there. Kind of a VIP-lite style, since it is my daily driver.
