GS4Fun,

As I'm still waiting for delivery of my GS300AWD, I stopped by my dealer last week to refresh my memory as to why I bought the car. And on the lot was a matador red GS300. Looked very sharp, and if it had NAV, I might have given it some thought.

Dave, haven't you been waiting delivery since early April? What are they telling you is the hold up?

Hey bigzip, haven't seen you around here lately. Yes, I'm still waiting. My car was "lost" for a period of time. As the story goes, Lexus distribution people at the Oregon dock determined the battery in my car needed to be replaced. So they pulled the car from the delivery queue, replaced the battery, and then for whatever reason the car wasn't returned to the delivery queue until my dealer spoke with Lexus distribution.

My dealer is just as upset as I was over the matter and they've been excellent at providing me concessions for the delay. The car is supposed to be on its way and I should have it in another 7-10 long days. The dealer gave us a 2004 ES330 to use while we're waiting.

I must admit while waiting I'm starting to second guess my decision and maybe I should have looked at the Audi A6 or even BMW 5 Series. Fortunately, once I saw the GS again at the dealer last week I reassured myself I made the right choice.

I'm told there are 3 other customers in the same situation as I with the delivery issue.

That's a long time to wait but with the concessions you're getting makes it easier. I know you will be satisfied with your choice, I've had mine since March 31st and no regrets.

Hey sicklex, next time you update the list add me, thanks!

I shopped for about 4 weeks and finally bought on Memorial day at Jim Falk Lexus in Beverly Hills, from the Internet Fleet manager: GS 300, Mercury Metallic, with Nav, Mark Levinson, spoiler, sunshade, etc. List price was $50,409, purchase price $46,450 including destination (but not tax) which I thought was a good price and nearly $4K off sticker.

Quick story:
We met the Internet/fleet sales manager at the lot where the cars were kept. Unfortunately, the key was missing from the car we wanted and there was only one Mercury Metallic with Nav.. So he started showing us the Nav and features in a different car, an Olive green GS430. As he's demonstrating, my wife looks up and sees "our" car driving by with another salesman at the wheel. She says, "hey, isn't that our car?".

Our salesman jumps out of the demo car and takes off after our car. He catches up at the lot exit and the two salesman have a heated discussion which results in the car being parked near the exit and the other salesman leaving. Our salesman comes back and tells us someone else wanted to buy the same car. However, since we had been quoted a price already and the other customer had not, we had first dibs.The salesman then hears his cell phone ringing and starts searching all of his pockets but can't find it. He looks inside the car, can't find it, it's still ringing. He finally realizes it' fell out of his pocket onto the concrete when he jumped out of the car and has rolled under the car. Now, if the whole scene was a sales trick, it was a pretty convincing one. So I ended up buying the car and driving it home that day.
Another one!
