Default Just got back from the tint shop

Here's my replacement car for my '07 that was nothing but headaches. I had to get the windows tinted to convince the wife into liking this color better than her Pearl White one that we returned.

PA doesnt allow any tints at all if I remember right. I have the same color car, Im gonna go with 50% tints. I don't want to be bothered by cops.

Knock on wood, I never had a problem in PA with tinted windows on previous cars.

They were asking $29k for it. It's a 2008 GS350 AWD with 55k on it. It has the Ivory interior with every option except the ML stereo. Somehow, they got me out of my '07 that had 92k on it, and my payment only went up $6.

From what I read on here, someone posted that I couldn't get a "Lexus" extended warranty because I'm over 50k? They got me my money back for the crappy Nissan EW and used it on a 3 year EW from a company called Advance? I know the finance manager pretty good and she said she worked at a Mercedes dealer for 5 years and that's the only company they would use. She said if I even remotely had a problem with a claim, they would immediately refund my money in full, that's how confident she is with that company.

Never seen a green colour on GS350. I was looking for green or black GS 350 AWD but end it up on silver bought in Ford Dealership came with dark tint windows. Hard to find green in WA State.

My wife HATES the color. I said to her "Our other car was white, everybody has white.You don't see any GS 350's in this color". Her answer was "You don't see any in that color because it's so ugly and no one bought one "! Damn, she's tough. I love the color BTW, and so did the guy who did the tint.

Color looks great, and so do tints.

I remember seeing a sticker on some bumper, "loud wives lose lives" was good for a laugh or two.
