Default New Edsel Buyer! :)

Just picked up a 2010 Premium CPO with 44k miles.

This thing seems to be loaded. I have the lane departure and the guided cruise control (which is awesome!)

I've only had it a few hours, but I am very pleased. (Although I wish it was red)

You're right. I better return it. Since it is no longer made, I guess it will no longer function as a vehicle.

Personally I'm partial to 'insert random name Lexus' Mica colors that Lexus offers. It's very nice.

And if you're getting rid of the horrible thing, get rid of it my way, I'd love guided cruise and the other US only goodies!

The guided cruise control rocks! I am actually enjoying the lane departure system. It is freaky that it assists in steering you back on course.

Congrats, I just bought mine last week too. I'm concerned also that mine will stop functioning as a vehicle and turn into a horse. Or maybe since mine is also CPO Lexus will let me take any new model I want when it stops functioning.

BTW, yours looks fantastic! I wish my dealer could have left the tint on the front window.

Sweet ride! Welcome to the (small) family! I prefer to think of the HS as a civilized M1 or 959 rather than an Edsel :-)

I got a Starfire Pearl with Black Interior. Premium, Tech, Nav, LED lighting, and Premium audio options. 30K miles and picked it up for 30K. I was originally going to get a Black Saphire, really loved the color, but then I found this fully loaded one and could not pass it up. I figured it would be pretty hard to find the last 2 options in the exact color I wanted. Then I was also worried about keeping a dark color looking swirl free.

I'll see if weather is good this weekend so I can get some pics.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you get yours for?

Maybe we can bring the HS forum back to life, there has not been much going on here.

Picked up my red 2010 HS250h about 2.5 weeks ago now. Had 25k miles on it, paid $25k. Can't understand why anyone would care if they are still making them.

The San Diego market was flooded with 250h program cars - must have been 20 of them on the market at various dealerships. Made negotiations easy.

Pic attached. Glad to be a part of the club!
