Talking Steal of the Century

I got this guy who is a manager at the local Lexus dealer. He's been looking for a good used car for me for the wifey and finally one has come along that I could not pass up. They just got it in yesterday and before they put it out on the lot, I got first dibs at it. When he called me and told me how much I would have to pay as opposed to what it was going to sell for on the lot, I was like, I'm coming to look at it after work. When I got there, the wifey took it for a test drive and that was it. We got it.

2007 IS250 (not the AWD) 19,000 (nineteen thousand) miles, silver with grey interior. All standard features. $22,000.00 (wholesale price )!! With taxes, tags and fees, $22,637.00!!! KBB.com lists the suggested retail value of this car at $30,835. And they had the nerve to ask if I wanted gap insurance!! lol

Never thought I would own 2 Lexus' !!!! Proud owner of 99 GS300 with 198,xxx miles and now 07 IS250 with 19,xxx miles!!!

If you got navi, premium pack, and hid you got a super deal. If your car has no packages, then you got a "decent" deal nothing big

What do you mean? I get it for $8,000.00 below KBB.com and that's a decent deal? I didn't haggle or anything. Ol' boy just told me the price on the phone, I went in, signed the papers and an hour later the wifey was driving home. It doesn't have the Nav. or premium pack but does have the HID.

But that's cool. Ain't nobody gonna rain on my parade. I know I got a D-AMN GOOD DEAL!!!
