Good catch, I didn't even read the sticker. I wish they came with both of those options.. still surprised that American cars don't have the retractable mirrors. It's almost standard on cars in Korea

Sigh yea I wish. I wonder if they inflated the price by adding those to the options list lol.

David,
I love the pics! It was a pleasure chatting with you today. I cannot thank you enough for looking over the car and even chatting with Eric the salesman

It sounds as if I picked a good one! I was nervous about its condition but now I am at ease.
I will be canceling the third party inspection.

Congrats to you as well on the white F sport! We are both going to enjoy them.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I was happy to do this for a fellow car enthusiast!

Hey Mr. B, what's the update?

praetor

Maybe he's on a plane to Houston to pickup his new ride? LOL

Stew4HD

Could be. I know I'd be on a one way flight but.. that's just me

praetor

Hell yeah. It would give me a lot of time to get familiar with the car.

Stew4HD

That is what I was thinking. I am still getting used to mine. Heck, still getting used to the idea that I, lil ole me, own a Lexus and a speacial one at that!

yardie876

LOL you sound like me! I also had to go through the phase of convincing my older relatives why the Lex was a better buy than the 5 and E class. They quickly shut up once they drove it though lol.

I finally broke 700 miles after 1 month with the GS and have started to open her up a bit. It puts a smile on my face every time. Around here the car also isn't as common as the Beemers and C class Benzos as well. I always get complements for the looks of the FSport.

Stew4HD

I am at 155 miles, so I have a week or so to get the miles past 600.

It's the same around here, lots of MB Cs and Beemers. I haven't seen any other F-Sports yet. I do like being unique!

Best of luck to bigbwb, though it looks like everything is in hand thanks to some friendly forum members!

Out of curiousity - why did you go RWD instead of AWD?

The DRS available with F Sport is tempting, but I've sure enjoyed AWD in the past during our long winter seasons. Not to say RWD with snow tires isn't managable...

Hey guys,
Just waiting on my sales guy to FedEx the paperwork. Once I have an idea on when all the money is transferred etc, I can work out the shipping date.

My guess is a good week and half before it reaches me here in WI

The thought of flying down and driving it back crossed my mind but for $600, I rather not put the miles on it and deal with hotel etc.

bigbwb

I wanted rwd being I prefer blizzaks in the winter over all seasons all year round. I can get tires/ wheels cheaper than a awd model and then I'm set for 4-5 years!

Plus the rwd car gets better mileage and drives better for the majority of the seasons here

Really the only thing I'm missing out on is the cold weather package with heated steering wheel for the wife.....she had her hopes up but oh well.
