Default Finally got the call....My IS350 is on the way

Got the call this morning, my car[See Sig] is sailing the Pacific, bound for Florida. I also got some better news, instead of being one of the last 2006's made, mine will be one of the first of 2007!!!!! The sales rep said they will honor my original 2006 price, which was 2,500 off msrp. No brake pedal tap dance for me, but after reading a recent post of someones mishap, I'll play with the new VDIM switch in an empty parking lot a few times first.

Just a little bit longer now, end of August or first of September, can't friggin' wait.

Not to rain on your parade, but did you verify that the car was built exactly as you ordered it ? For the last several weeks, I've gone to the 'build your IS' section on lexus.com and they don't offer the sports pkg at this time in my area (very strange since my IS had a May build). I figured it was because they switched over to '07 production and they weren't building sports pkgs yet - only luxury & premiums . . .

I would not put much stock in the web site, but I will double check my order. My dealer did mention that all the options of the sports package were listed out seperately instead of just "sports package", since most of them are now stand alone options in 2007, ie: aluminum sports pedals, bi-xenon lights, ventilated seats, 18 inch wheels, etc.

Congrats GOBUCS!!
I got the same call about my 07 this past weekend
I was told to expect it early September. It's been a long wait.
I'm getting it exactly the way I want it so it will be worth it.
Cheers

Hey Lynette... and Payam,

My long wait is almost over!! Thanks again for keeping me going with the Largo meet. I'll let you know when it is actually here.

After I break it in nice and slow{maybe1week;} we can then meet at the dragstrip.
